theres something somewhat endearing about the graininess of the original Alien movie. i dont know if its just because ive seen it 100 times like in that format (originally on VHS and then the DVD collectors Edition) or because it actually benefits the look/feel of the film -- but i think a cleanup of the masters would almost be a disservice.

that being said, i think an HD/Blu Ray release would be fantastic if not for the audio alone. watching the entire collectors edition in one sitting for the first time (in 5.1 DTS) was like seeing it in theaters again for the first time.

Yeah, I hope they come out with an extremely good transfer of Aliens.  I fear the original master may be just grainy though.  I wouldn't want noise reduction either because that tends to make some ugly side effects in HD.

Heres hoping for an actual new transfer of aliens along with a full frame by frame restoration, for a movie that has generally been accepted as the best textbook example of action/sci-fi in history it has never really had the picture and sound treatment it deserves.

The sound also needs remastering from scratch, and it would be nice to see it finally in dts master audio.

So you guys would classify a 10 day old baby as old??   ;)

No, but I'd classify 10 day old news as old...  They don't call it news for nothin'.  :P

But if that were the case, than the term 'old news' really wouldn't make much sense.............

Now that I think of it, old news does sound rather funny!

Yeah, fairly old news...

It was only announced on January 4th, so unless you're a schoolgirl who considers 2 minutes ago to be old, it'n not that old.

Not 2 minutes, try 10 days  ;)

I just heard that Warner Bros, who make 70% of HD Dvd's movies, and is 1 of the 3 large distributers for HD has just announced that they will be supporting Blu-ray only as of May.  Bye bye HD!

The Aliens DVD looks pretty darn good in a good upscaling player.. But I will be buying the HD version.  :)
