Brimming with stories, insight, and wonderful personal detail, this four-hour documentary is the most passionate and sophisticated exploration of Aliens ever made; a love letter to the people who made it and the communities who adore it, reflecting and enhancing the incredible legacy of this beloved epic.
Along the way, we offer up a fresh and expanded take on the incredible story behind the film: the chance encounter that led to Cameron taking it on, the intense writing process, the intuitive casting of the marines, winning over Sigourney Weaver, finding Newt, the nightmare shoot, and the ultimate triumph. Famous tales are retold, but enriched with new perspectives.
The Battle with the British Crew: With great humor (in hindsight), James Cameron and his cast recall the culture clash with the dyed-in-the-wool British crew: the tensions, stand-offs, and the legendary confrontation between Cameron and a tea lady, and how the edginess on set fed into the tension within the movie.
Shipping: Shipping is charged at the point of fulfillment at cost (your shipping cost will be the price we pay and we will not make profit on it). In the current economic climate, shipping costs are fluctuating and hard to predict. Delaying payment for shipping benefits both sides as we avoid overcharging (bad for you) and undercharging (bad for our documentary budget).
Fulfillment: Our physical merchandise is manufactured and shipped from California by a trusted partner who we have worked with for many years. Blu-rays are factory-pressed and manufactured to the highest standard possible (the same standard as AAA releases). Backers will receive a tracking number and our items are sent in very study packaging (posters rolled, not folded) to ensure everything arrives with you safely.
Yes. We accept most currencies through our secure payment processing system. Although payments are processed in U.S. Dollars, you will see the equivalent charge in your currency on your bank or credit card statement.
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee from your date of purchase. In the event of a problem with shipping where ourselves or one of our partners is at fault (such as a damaged package) we will send out replacements.

We are not producing a DVD version of Aliens Expanded. Producing physical media is prohibitively expensive at lower volumes, and after surveying ALIENS fans, there wasn't enough demand to make the option viable.
CREATORVC is an independent producer of long-form factual entertainment. Our work includes the In Search of Darkness trilogy, In Search of Tomorrow, First Person Shooter and the upcoming Aliens Expanded and In Search of Darkness: 1990-1994.
Researchers reproduced the online interface of a major U.S. online retailer, Amazon, to test carbon-reducing strategies in online retailing. Amazon Prime members receive free two-day shipping, but can also select free no-rush shipping and earn a $1 credit.
A second experiment gave customers the option to add carbon offsets for shipping to their bills, with the cost of this offset varying with the product and the shipping option selected. When adding the carbon credit was the default, 88.2 percent of customers chose to do so. When the carbon credit was not the default option, 40 percent of customers still chose to add it.
The experiment was similar to that conducted using the Amazon interface, providing customers an option to add the cost of carbon offsets to their bill. The cost of the offset was varied between 2 cents and 20 cents per trip based on estimated costs of carbon of $6 per 1.1 tons and $50 per 1.1 tons and assuming a 10-mile trip and the 2012 U.S. average fuel economy for light-duty vehicles.
Given the scenario of a 10-mile trip every weekday for a year, participants then were asked if they would be willing to add the cost of carbon offsets to their bill for every ride. Depending on the carbon price, this would increase the total cost by either $5.95 or $49.58. Results showed close to three-quarters of customers were willing to add the offset for a single trip at either carbon price and to offset emissions associated with all of their Uber trips when the total yearly cost was $5.95. Even when the cost for all future trips was high, half of all participants remained willing to purchase offsets.
In the realm of short-term lodging, the researchers used the example of Airbnb, a company that connects customers with hosts who offer space in their homes as an alternative to hotels. The researchers found that, on average, potential Airbnb hosts could expect to receive just under $7 more per booking if they qualify as providing an energy-efficient rental. However, when participants were given the option to add between 50 cents and $3 to their bills to make their stays carbon neutral, less than 13 percent indicated that they would be willing to purchase these carbon offsets.
But it won't increase the price of its other plans: a $7.99 a month \"basic\" plan that allows customers to watch on one screen at a time without HD and a \"premium\" plan of $11.99 a month that allows four simultaneous streams.
On its website, Netflix informs customers that those with an \"active account\" may be on a \"price guarantee,\" though they should view their billing page for more details. The billing page indicates a date by which their plan price is guaranteed, such as May 9, 2016.
Hulu's plan that offers no commercials costs $11.99. When you sign up on an iOS device, or iPad and iPhone, and pay for your Hulu subscription with your iTunes account, there's an extra cost due to transaction costs with Apple. That comes to $13.99 a month.
Amazon Prime membership includes Prime Video streaming at $99 a year or $49 for students. That includes unlimited free two-day shipping for eligible purchases and access to Kindle Owner's Lending Library, which allows you to borrow one Kindle book per month from over 800,000 titles without a due date. Members can also listen to \"hundreds\" of Prime music stations for free.
In August, the company introduced a new program called Amazon Households, which limited the way Amazon Prime members can share benefits. Under that program, Prime members with one adult family member and four children the free two-day shipping benefit, plus Kindle Owners' Lending Library, Amazon's video streaming service and early access to Prime sales.
Previously, Prime customers could share their shipping perk with up to four household members, but not the other features. The website gives customers who are presently sharing their membership the option to only share with one adult family member the shipping benefit and the other Amazon services.
Another perk: Amazon Prime Video is the only subscription service to offer members the ability to download \"thousands\" of movies and TV episodes to iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets for offline viewing, the company announced last month.
