Alien Romulus Blu-Ray

I can't remember if PAL/NTSC was an issue.

I'd trade this in for an art book in a heartbeat tbh.

Where and when will be able to purchase this?

Gorgeous real art!  And great great graphic design. Really looking forward to this

I love this and will 100% be purchasing;

BUT: it has to be said - whilst I miss the days of VHS artwork, this doesn't fit the 'Alien' style; the Alien VHS tapes usually used photo imagery (the egg on the first movie, the warrior on Aliens: Special Edition, or a promo shot of Ripley for Alien 3 (uk)/ the queen chestburster (USA)- this feel a tad 'try-hard' like "it's VHS, so it must be artwork!" Kind of like every modern movie that tries to mimic the 80s makes everything pink and blue neon with bad over-the-top vhs lines; it kind of reeks of "you weren't really there, but following the cliches" 😅 not a complaint; but I'd rather have a photo promo shot of Rain crouching clutching a pulse rifle looking directly at the camera  with a red-lit corridor behind, a play on the uk Alien 3 vhs, with taglines on one side, and a sticker on the other side advertising some alien promo inside, kind of like the 'free tickets to Alien War London' stickers (just me)😊 would have been more authentic.

So a pretty accurate representation of the film, then.

I only want to listen to the soundtrack on a wax cylinder like it should be.

I only want to listen to the soundtrack on a wax cylinder like it should be.

I only want to watch it as a noisy analogue TV transmission on a 15" black and white CRT TV in pan-and-scan 4:3 aspect ratio like God intended.

With crummy tracking.

It wasen't locked like DVD´s. But usually NTSC was american standard and ran... like, at 29-ish fps.
PAL was 25 fps and mostly in Europe.
Usually the TV was the problem, and needed a special VCR, that usually was kind of expencive.
But after a while NTSC-kompatible machines became pretty common aswell.
...although, I'm no expert, but that's pretty much the diffrence.

I actually just this weekend was home and saw Alien on my old VCR, was kinda wierd, but cool.

[SM]

VCRs that could play both Pal and Never The Same Colour were pretty common in the late 80s from memory.

I only remember needing an adapter for my SNES

Is the prequel comic still a thing?

[Corporal Hicks]

It was released yesterday. It was pretty lackluster.
