Elders (Admins) The Old Man Posted December 1, 2003 Elders (Admins) Share Posted December 1, 2003 From todays News Update at MillenniuM Desktop UK: ...It was with interest then that apart from spotting that they had miss spelt Lance Henriksen's name, I also noticed the unique graphic design box illustration for the REGION 1 USA Version of Alien Quadrilogy DVD Box Set, being a Alien/Ouroboros hybrid, the Ouroboros being instantly recognisable to MillenniuM fans as the mythological symbol of The MillenniuM Group. Why and how this image came to be is unknown, but it cannot be ignored that Disk 3 of the set contains the movie "Aliens" complete with a Commentary by Lance Henriksen amongst other actors and production crew. Perhaps the graphic designer is a fan of MillenniuM and Lance Henriksen? The UK Region 2 Version contains a different illustration and possibly no Commentary although it is still 9 discs.

Guest LauraKrycek Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 OoOoOo! Pretty cool! Ouroborous or not, though, that's a pretty cool design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Justa Fan Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hey...you're right...the UK release of Quadrilogy doesn't have the cool design....bummer. I hope they don't screw up the actual material on the discs. Why does Fox think they have to be so clever when it comes to global marketing? Who asks them to do all this tinkering? I never understood why the UK releases of the X-Files (the two part eps.) were slammed together to make a "feature" film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voidprime Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 It is a cool design for the DVD case even though I hate the fold-out case format. they should have just did 5 DVD slipcases with 9 DVDs. Lots of cool extras it looks like on that DVD set. I want it. Be seeing You, David Blackwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest se7en Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 It sia cool design for teh site even though I hate the fold-out case format. they should have just did 5 DVD slipcases with 9 DVDs.

Be seeing You, David Blackwell ....just curious why you don't gatefolds? i think they are pretty cool,especially the highlander ones and,of course,the incredible work of art that is the "BAND OF BROTHERS" packaging. -(though if there is a lot of discs i suppose it can get a bit cumbersome,but i still like the look of them when they are creatively done) ~se7en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suck. If you have a cracked case, you have to replace the only thing or just bear it. If you break the gatefold at a fold, you have to buy a new gatefold set. DVDs are sometimes hard to get out of DVD cases and sometimes they fall out too easily. Also it will be a pain folding out 9 DVD discs for the Alien Quad. set. I like regular DVD cases because you can replace the slip case if you break the case or if the case is damaged where it is a pain if a gatefold gets damaged. Finally, it is easier to deal with gettinga DVD out in a normal case instead of the extra effort one goes through on a gatefold to get at a certain DVD.

voidprime Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 has anyone bought the Alien Quadrilogy set? Is anyone going to buy it? I have entered of contests in an attempt to win it (and I also entered at least 10 contests on seperate websites to win a copy of the FIREFLY: THE COMPLETE SERIES DVD set).
