DVD extras

I heard from Contender, who release the UK Lexx DVDs, that when they asked for a Blooper reel that Salter went crazy and denied one existed and said that if one did it would never see the light of day. Yet many fans who have been to the LexxCons over the years have seen it with their own eyes. Hopefully one day one will see the light of day.
Oh, dear. I think we may have driven Salter over the edge with our persistent asking for bloopers. I know that a tape of outtakes was supposedly handed out at an UnCon, and that the tapes were in some kind of pick-and-choose grab-bag of videocassettes, or at least that’s my understanding. I don’t know if Salter even knew what was in the box o’ tapes. But I have heard that a tape of outtakes exists (and, in fact, I’ve seen some outtakes from the scenes between Kai and Tish, thanks ever so much to an anonymous board member [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]), but getting them from the official source (inasmuch as S2 or 3 is concerned) is problematic. I *have* been reassured that there will be outtakes from S4, though. Those *should* be available on the S4 DVDs. Hopefully. But don’t quote me on that.
As for putting all of the extras on one DVD, it’s a good idea, but I don’t think it’ll happen. There is only so much I can do, and getting Acorn to release all the extras for all the discs on one DVD far exceeds my reach and influence. Not that I’m condoning any illegal activities (no distribution! for personal use only!), but I don’t think that we have these things copy-protected. You may very well be able to dub all of the making of and [i]Rated:LEXX[/i] segments onto one VHS tape. If so, judicious use of the pause button on your DVD player and VCR could produce a nice, flowing composite.
But hey, I’m not *saying* to do it. These instructions are given for entertainment purposes only. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
