So I lucked out. But after I've seen it, it's definitely worth $10, no doubt. Amazon is also streaming The Director's Cut for $1.99.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-6510687964712960102012-06-29T14:10:20.053-07:002012-06-29T14:10:20.053-07:00Dammit.

I love the film as it is already. I've only seen the theatrical cut, and I also hated the region 1 DVD cover, which is why I bought the region 2 version.

I probably would have. lol.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on that book, I love stuff like that.

It was footag...Yeah, sorry that's what I meant. It was footage of Fincher on the set of Alien 3 with his head in his hands. I'm surprised how honest Fox were about his mistreatment.<br /><br />I'm sure I also read in "Down and Dirty Pictures" that the Harvey Weinstein tried to remove Del Toro from this project halfway through but Tarantino stepped in and told him to back off. That's a great book if you haven't read it.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-87067259532032681772012-06-25T17:24:56.325-07:002012-06-25T17:24:56.325-07:00No, it's not very scary, but it had some nice ...No, it's not very scary, but it had some nice tension here and there and then it gets kind of exciting towards the end, which was fine for me because it all looked really nice. I've never seen the theatrical cut though, so I can't compare the two. But this was a fun watch. <br /><br />I have Alien Anthology on blu-ray and I don't remember Fincher participating at all in the special features, only in the footage they shot of him when he was filming Alien 3. Is that what you mean?robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-73251135987532517082012-06-25T00:53:28.754-07:002012-06-25T00:53:28.754-07:00Yeah, this isn't a great film but I've sti...Yeah, this isn't a great film but I've still watched it quite a few times. Haven't seen this extended cut yet but I remember the original version always seemed quite... chopped up. Like someone had cut out huge portions.<br /><br />The problem I always have with it is that even though the effects and cinematography are great it never feels very scary.<br /><br />Love it when DVD features are really honest. Kudos to Del Toro for still participating with this version. My favourite special features has to be the Alien 3 Making of where they actually show David Fincher with his head in his hands!Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.com
