GoodTimes 0 Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 That looks great. I picked up the Indiana Jones collection today, nice package. Link to post Share on other sites
base40 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Er, but how many times has that been released on dvd already? I hate it when they keep on adding something and selling the same thing. It isn't fair Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 That must be annoying for "the fans" who will have bought the earlier version. Good for those of us who haven't though. That looks worth getting for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Yum. Are they still going ahead with that BAD idea Alien vs Predator movie? Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Amazon shipped it today, so should be here in a week or so Link to post Share on other sites
dancing_barefoot 0 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 This is a good read lots of info about the new pack http://www.dvdfile.com/news/special_report/inside_the_disc/alien/index.html Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 It came yesterday. Not too keen on the packaging, they could have done a more fitting "deluxe" job on it I reckon. It folds out until its about 2 meters in length. It would have been better having them in a book-like arrangement (like the ST:DS9 ones). But anyway, started on Alien last night. Looks awesome.

snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Different artwork and box set layout than the ones we got here. The ones here are a book like thing like you mention which is pretty tidy but also pretty flimsy and fragile. The clear "pages" of the box set seem to have a tendancy to fall off. I like the artwork on the one you have better. Much nicer. Link to post Share on other sites

rajeem 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Its the content that matters and it looks really good. I hope to get it soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 You're all complete nuts. The first film was tolerably good, if a somewhat slender basis for one whole film. And now it's become 9 disks of something or other and you're arguing about how flimsy the little plastic sleeve is? You're definitely victims of something. Jesus Christ.

fukdane 2 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 So you're not into the Alien films. So what? Victims of something?!?! Jesus Christ, as you might put it, that's ridiculous. As for this: Quote: The first film was tolerably good, if a somewhat slender basis for one whole film. Well, we'll just have to completely disagree about that. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Quote: The first film was tolerably good, if a somewhat slender basis for one whole film. Bang. There goes his credibility. The 1st was a classic, one of the best films out there. The 2nd Cameron one a classic too, in a different louder way. Less said about the 3rd and particularly the 4th the better.

Ocean11 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 What about the staples in that little booklet thing that it comes with? Are there two, or three? Are they well made? When I watched the first Alien, I knew exactly who was going to die from the start, because there are a whole genre of films of the same sort, and they're made according to a formula. Not that I cared a jot who was going to die, because issues like that are not important in films of that genre. So this formulaic film that is so typical of its genre is a 'classic'? O-ho-ho. I scorn the poverty of your culture. I hope the little booklet is well constructed and stands the test of time. Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 This is the guy who champions "Puffy". 'Nuff said. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Geeks. Sensitive geeks. You could put some slime on that little green house plant you've got there fukdane, and make it a bit more classic. I'm off to buy some milk with a nice Puffy disk in my CD. I wouldn't go so far to say they were 'classic' because that would make me appear ignorant of the wider culture. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I doubt that is fukdanes photo there (hence not his plant), but thats beside the point. Well, as someone obviously not quite as emotionally involved in this dispute, this box set looks like a real treat for people who really like the films. I won't be getting it, but if some of my fave movies got that lavish a treatment I would sure be tempted. It's just a matter of taste. (As is liking Puffy ) Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 LiquidX, you're very diplomatic. Yes, it's certainly a treat for people who delight in classic movies on 9 discs attractively packaged with a substantial little booklet. Who am I to poke fun? Link to post Share on other sites
