i STRONGLY suggest to watch the original Alien, with commentary ON by Ridley Scott - also, view the production sketches, storyboards, photos....
(there is A LOT of info)

I am guessing since you are new to the forum here that you haven't looked through the back discussions. Most of the commentary has been discussed here numerous times over hundreds of posts.

I just may do that tonight Tyrannosaurus and take out the Quad.
Trying to hold out for the blu-ray of Alien before I watch it again though.
I haven't even got a plimmin' blu-ray player yet, lol.

I'll second that. The documentary on the making of Alien is fantastic...amazing to think how fragile the seed of an idea is, and how many different (and far inferior) ways Alien could have gone.

Mindbender, there is no POST solely devoted to this suggestion - that's all i was doing, for anyone who HASN'T seen it with the commentary, behind the scenes, etc.

WOW some of the "experienced" forum posters on here seriously have a superior complex going on. . . It's pretty impossible for a new forum member to search EVERY post ever put up on here!

It's not Tyrannosaurus' fault guys. It's mine - I have yet to install a search feature. So don't get on his case over starting a legitimate thread. Once the search feature is implemented (this week if all goes well) then we can expect users to search before posting. But until then, be kind and accommodating please.
We're a community folks, here to just enjoy and speculate on the Prometheus film. Get annoyed with me for not installing the search feature yet instead of our new and WELCOME members.

I have the blu ray box set of the Alien trilogy. The Alien blu ray is simply amazing. The best looking movie out of the set. And yes there is a plethera of information on those discs!

I have the Alien BD. I don't like the cut signal footage. It doesn't even sound scary but it does have the whipping sound associated with the facehugger at the end. I do wonder if that was edited in instead for a pre-empt for the "unoffical" Alien Prequel and him wanting to touch on the facehugger.

I have the Quadrilogy's DVD's and do this all the time.
I am very much looking forward to obtaining an EGG copy if I can of the Blue Rays. There seems to be a lot of NEW material, tons in fact. Thanks for reminding me I have to spend more money, ah well, You know what I say..."Hard Come...Easy Go" !!!

Thanks Tyrannosaurus for starting the feed. I have listened to his commentary a number of times and it's fascinating to hear the way he thinks, the sideways approach his mind seems to come at the material he works with. And by sideways, I mean unique, particular and intelligentally unconventional ( as opposed to shockingly or bluntly unconventional).
