I didn't know where else to put this so here's a random note for anyone interested:
AvPR on Star has been brightened and you can actually see things like the PredAlien moulting in reasonable detail. It's still the same grade, I think they've just dropped the contrast/played with gamma.
It's also the theatrical cut.
.... Have fun?
I'm looking forward to ignoring it every time it pops up in the horror section
Indeed.
Alien is the 4k version which is beautiful though.
Might give it a peek.
After I've exhausted everything else I want to watch on Star.
You can finally uncover the mysteries of
What does Chet look like moulting?
Exactly what the f**k happened to Dale?
And others!
If anyone can post a clip of this, of any of the notoriously dark scenes, I would love to see the difference!
I can try comparing the streaming version to the Blu-Ray TE..

You really can see what happened to Dale :o
You can clearly see one of those shitty Alien suits as he gets nabbed.
Let us never speak of it again.

I'd love to see a comparison. This, along with the original AVP also needs a 4K Blu Ray release, both having extended cuts and AVPR finally having its color correction looking like it did in the trailer.

The 'pass' bit was unintentional.
Interestingly lots of stuff missing in the UK.

I expect the years have been kind and you will finally dig the PredAlien.

Although it's worth pointing out that I skipped the "character development", then passed out, then woke up half way through a repeat cycle and watched the high school massacre, then passed out again, then watched the finale. It would be hard to claim I was invested.
Durrrr iM fRoM sPaCe

Shame none of the Alien or Predator movies are on the UK version of Star yet as I'd definitely be interested in watching AVPR: The Actually Visible Cut.
I don't know about watching it, but I'd definitely skim through it, to see the difference.
Skim?!
Watch it in slow motion and bask in it's fabulousness!
Apparently there isn't really much of a difference. Requested a comparison from Alien Theory and he put together a video for me. Not a 1080p comparison but regardless, just comparing the brightness it's hard for anything noticeable to jump out, certainly nothing close to the trailer's levels.
I'll see if I can check mine. It's much more noticeable than that.

Really odd if it's for some reason implemented in one region and not another. It'd be the dimmer theater copies all over again. He's in Canada:
It's clearer than that on my phone.
I usually watch it on a cheap laptop with a shit screen and maintain that I can see (almost) everything fine, I'll have to ask around to see if anyone locally has the service so I can compare.
Is Alien Theory the go-to source for AvP Galaxy now too?
Kinda sad
An understatement.
Agreed :-\

Bit of a conclusion to jump to. But to answer, no he's not.
He was a source for me personally for this very specific thing and I'm grateful to him putting this together, I watched his vid and knew he had Star so I asked if he could provide some examples.
I'm well aware of the gripes people have about some of his stuff on this forum.
I would say if you have to use him or his sources, or more accurately the sources he has stolen, then you should use it in a way that doesn't enable him. Posting his video means he will just get more views.
Not jumping into a debate here.
Feel free to not watch his videos. He didn't steal anything in the one I posted.
I'm just sick of seeing this guy enabled by the community and I've been seeing his involvement more and more lately.
It was unfair of me to ask if AT is your new go to source but t's just really disappointing to see AvPGalaxy staff work with him. I hold this place in the highest regard as a source for fans.
It's just very disappointing
I'll elaborate.
I can understand that, we've been pissed when people like AcidGlow have blatantly stolen our exclusives.
I was pretty unfamiliar with the details of the situation but I actually just caught up with the thread about it. Yes, it seems pretty likely he lifted some segments from Xenopedia. I have loads of respect for the work they do over there. It seems as though he was disregarding these accusations under his interpretation of 'Fair Use', but lifting even segments from the Wiki nearly word for word without attributing isn't fair to Xenopedia at all and I acknowledge that.
Personally I've enjoyed some of his videos, the ones he did for the Legacy DVD set and his recent interview with Alex White were really well done I thought. He's always been friendly to me personally on Twitter.
AvPGalaxy is not working with him, I am not working with him on anything. I don't consider it as such which is why it's on my personal YT channel unlisted and only to share here in the forum for this thread.
I may reach out to him about this issue.
Good luck with that.
I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate Ridgetop
Quote from: SM on Mar 03, 2021, 10:53:26 PM
Good luck with that.
Yeah I agree, this guy doesn't care and won't admit to anything.
Well we all saw how he denied everything when confronted with evidence. I doubt he could be made to reason and cite his sources.
His subscribers don't care about supporting a thief - so why should he?
Maybe one could appeal to his better nature?
Good luck with that.
What are my chances?
Good luck with that.
Could he be classified as Plagiaris Preposterous?

If he starts lactating from his forehead, you better clear out.
