Amen. Aliens is a decent enough film (and the third best in the series), but Alien is nearly perfect. I feel the same way about the first two Terminator films.

Glad to hear of the additional effort going into the release of this BD box set -- will likely have to pick it up.

I dig I an IV (the screaming in II really grates after a while). I hope the set is priced reasonably.

re: Alien Anthology - Oct. 26th

Any rumors as to what month this will be released? The Quadrilogy DVD Box set is one of my all time favorite dvd sets and hoping we get all the Quadrilogy set features,the Legacy mail in bonus disc and Alien isolated score and commentary from the 1st release on top of all these new features. Which by the way I'm hoping for a Bonus View on all 4 of them I say Aliens>Alien>Alien Resurrection>Alien3. Love these series and also hoping for the cut Alien 3 documentary footage mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Looks like if this Blu-Ray set delivers all old and new features that it will be my top Blu-Ray(and DVD too) set of all time! Funny because while I love the series the films are nowhere near my favorites of all time,except maybe for Aliens.

re: Alien Anthology - Oct. 26th

I find it difficult to believe this new set will top the Quad release in terms of extras, but if it does...one of my criteria for prioritizing upgrades of DVD to BD is significant new extras, so I may go for this.

Not a big fan of the fourth film, but I am somewhat obsessed with the others. If I buy the BD set, it would make a QUINTUPLE dip for me (fullscreen VHS, widescreen VHS, Legacy DVDs, Quadrilogy, BD).

I will happily purchase this set on release day but I know my wallet is seriously going to hurt when I do. This will most likely be $99 when released.

I'll wait for the Amazon Deal of the Day. $99 on release, and $70ish a few weeks later.

That trailer, short as it may be, makes me happy

I'm aware of that - but if they're going to release a trailer for the blu-ray set, at least say anything in terms of what we're going to get. Maybe even just say "Now in 1080P with 7.1 DTS-MA."

Okay, I highly doubt it'll be 7.1.

From Blu-ray.com, potential art for a limited edition (currently Dutch only):

Hot shit. That egg package looks awesome, not sure what the deal is with the first image though. Is it supposed to light up...?

Because Americans don't have money anymore.


I thought you got the memo from the previous administration and then further validated by the current administration.

But hey, healthcare for everyone!

Dunno what you're talking about but all this recession stuff and etc has never affected me. I'm a college kid who pays for everything out of his own pocket (unfortunately...I'd love some more financial help but that's ok).

I just want the first one.

I never bought into the Quadrology or whatever it was called. I think Fox does a nice job of milking the fans on these releases.

The set was totally worth it for the features. I'd say the features are of greater value than the films. I love the Alien and Aliens, appreciate Alien3 for the sake of curiosity, and not that big of a fan for Resurrection but I like the look of the set design.

Not crazy about the boxes (is it too much to ask to actually use the ALIEN font?)... but if there's four separate blu-ray cases inside I'll be happy.
