Is this laserdisc even listed on the site database I have looked and looked for the past few nights and I see no listing unless its under a different keyword?

The catalogue number is 1090-85

I have noticed on disc 2 side 4 towards the end of the end credits, minor sparkles of laser-rot possible?

So is it even listed so I can check up on its status?

Cheers

You mean this one here? I think the simple search function doesn't catch it correctly for some reason involving the colon.

Huh, So can this be put into the database by my-self but since I don’t have laser scanner to do a decent enough picture as photo pictures I’m sure are not permitted.

What’s the condition of your Alien, I don’t mean are petting the Alien :D I mean the quality does it have any signs of sparkles on the feature film.

I went through the special features last night and didn’t notice any asides from the nice interview with Ridley Scott and interviewer Don Shay of Cinefex magazine.

How the bloody hell did you find that then! :D
What keywords did you use?

Well thanks for finding then. :)

Well now reading the data file I see its sadly listed as “Possible candidate”, that sucks! :|

Well if side 4 gets worse thou I might transfer the film to DVD-RW and no the lossless won’t bother me.

Actually, I searched for "Alien", clicked on one of the other editions with a "1090" catalog number, then on the page clicked on the second "0". This automatically does a search for all of the catalog numbers beginning with "1090", which pulled it up.

Hi!

Somehow I do filter the colon. What did you type?

Example: http://www.lddb.com/search.php?search=alien+special

Rgds,
