RE: The Abyss(R2) branching software problems
I don`t think its a disc/batch problem: it just sounds like your players can`t cope with dual layer discs correctly.
It plays perfectly on a scan, and incidentally rates as probably the best R2 special edition set I`ve seen. Excellent extras disk, crisp transfers, a fine film. *shrug*
RE: ALIEN LEGACY
Alien 3 is actually my favourite of the series.
I can`t understand how someone could say "Ripley dying at the end spoils it" - does every story in movieworld have to have a conventionally happy ending for the main characters? The theme of ultimate triumph through sacrifice has been around at least for 2000 years...
Theres a medieval/monastic atmosphere to the film that appeals (visually and soundtrack), and it is marginally less predictable than Alien (horror movie) and Aliens (vietnam in space). It`s got a touch of `Name of the Rose` in the casting, too.
Alien Resurrection, number 4, lost its way in trying to explore the radical feminist iconography that grew up around the Ripley character. They could`ve have done `Ripley as mother of the beast` rather more subtly - in fact, in the way they did it in Alien 3 death scene. That and its rather ludicrous "GM is bad, scientists are evil" theme...
They`re all watchable, but only get classic status through the dearth of any really decent scifi movies to compete with.
