Hey guys, so about that whole "Make sure it's the Theatrical Release!" thing I've been tooting for the past week...welllll. It turns out that, through an error on my part, the guys actually riffed the Director's Cut. I'm extremely sorry for the mix up on this one.. Fortunately, the Director's cut is widely available (actually, it's the easiest to find in stores now from my personal experience) and the product that we have linked to from the main page and that first link I posted earlier contains both versions, also those that have the Quadrilogy are still in decent shape.

So once again, the correct version is the Director's Cut which runs 116 minutes. And again, I offer my apologies for any inconveniences this causes...feel free to call for my blood/soul/head/any other scary mortal coil-shaking-free-of obscenities that you so choose.

I'm going by imdb, and had it confirmed by our resident Alien superfan.

Oh crap.  So much for being ready.  I went out today and bought the wrong copy.  Son of a bitch.  No biggie, I'll find the DC somewhere, just means I'll have to wait a day before I can enjoy this riff.

Using DVD Shrink on the Quadriolgy Disc:

The Director's Cut (TITLE 01) has a run time of 1:55:42
Theatrical Version (TITLE 02) has a run time of 1:56:29

Well, regardless of what the actual times are (Damn you IMDB!!! :angry:) The proper version is the shortest of the two (The Director's Cut). Sorry to confuse the confusion of the confused situation of confusedness even more. I swear I'm trying to help...SWEAR!!!  :'(

... So just to clarify, since there has been a bit of confusion going on up there, it IS the Director's Cut, yes?
FINE

Yeap, the Director's Cut is the version that you want.

Well, I have the quadrilogy, so I guess I'm set.  I'll flip a coin when it comes time to record it and see how it turns out.
