What Blu-Ray did you watch last night?

[Graham Ritchie]

Two night ago I have watched this blu-ray a few times now, mostly in 3D which looks brilliant on the Epson VP, The other night it was the 2D version, not as good as the 3D but still fun to watch.

Mike,

I haven't seen this, but I remember Spider Baby was one of CineSea co-founder John Black's favorite films of all time. He was so happy when the DVD was first released. He would have loved this Blu-ray's special features.

Spider Baby. Seriously weird and one of Lon Chaney’s last roles. Documentaries are well worth watching.

Thanks, Graham. I'll look for these.

Hi Doug

The biggest of all the changes in "Alien" was Ridley Scott addition of the cocoon scene, where Ripley discovers Dallas, also with "Aliens" the added story of "Hadley Hope" and Newt's family who discover the alien ship, which was totally missing in the original is now added, which I think gives it more story to it, also added are the sentry guns. Although the original film is good in itself, according to James Cameron, this extended version was the one he wanted to release at the time, but due to the running time, was forced to cut it back, so its great to see those additions as the director originally intended the film to be.
