The AL-timate Video Collection

yo · Post by yo » Mon Nov 10, 2003 4:52 pm

Just picked up it up yesterday; up until then I had seen NONE of the videos, and I really liked them. I can't tell you what I think of the sound and picture over previous editions, but compared to other DVDs I own it's great!

I never had trouble finding it, I just never had a chance to go out and get it..... UNTILL TODAY!

My friends copy was perfect for him, but for me, it just didnt fit me right. But mine fits me like a glove! I must say, it feels very gratifiying to finally have all the Al videos on DVD. I dont say this to make anybody that doesnt have their own yet feel bad or anything. Take it as an encouragement to buy one for themselfs and feel very gratified!

Hi, im sorry if this has already been reported or something. But i got the video collection the other day and ive not heard the song on the main menu before. Where can i find that song? Is it off In 3D or UHF? because out of Al's main albums, those are the 2 i have yet to get.

Thanks in advance!

You need to buy the UHF cd to listen to that song which is called, "Fun Zone." You can also hear that little ditty from the UHF movie (available on DVD right now!) while Stanley rides around. Also, to hear it again, go to a live show and it plays right before the concert actually starts.

Note: All starting concert times vary from when a venue will say the show will start.

Received my copy today. Here's my quick review.

Packaging- The cover image is pretty cool with all the videos in the background. A hard case is nice too. Glad the misnamed MFN/BH was fixed. The liner notes were a little anticlimatic, considering most of it was already on the first Videos DVD.

Videos - I was surprised that the random order didn't bother me at all. I was expecting a random ordering would be annoying and I wouldn't like it, but the videos flowed nicely into each other. If the videos were cleaned up at all, I didn't notice. It's been a while since I've watched the videos so it was nice to see them all again.

The Tom Snyder performance - was really neat. I had seen it at ALCON '98, but it's nice to have it. Tom's little joke was funny!

TWAS clips - were kind of short, and it would have been nice to see a greatest hits montage of clips from the show, but I enjoyed watching the LITF video again. I wish he had made a full video out of that one.

Bonus clip - First time I had seen this. Very cute. But what happened to Al's hat?

Photo gallery - Nice photos. I like the Amish one at the beginning.

I enjoyed watching the LITF video again. I wish he had made a full video out of that one.

I do too, especially since Aerosmith is my second favorite band! But I can see why he chose not to do a full video for it. Really, how many visual gags can be made out of that song, or that particular Aerosmith video for that matter?

I'm still hoping and praying that one day Al will do an Aerosmith polka medley!!!

I love the lousy haircut vid! As I moved to the USA a couple of years after CBS pulled the plug on TWAS, it was great to see these little clips....The actual show must have been quite something! I wish I could see more!
OH CBS, WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL TO US?
And the tomorrow show thing was really cool! It's amazing to see how far Al has come...and I loved the velvet pants! And Al was barefoot.....very interesting....

And everything else was fab! Even my parents loved it, and they're pretty hard to please! I am proud to say that I have converted them from

"Weird who?" to

"he's a genius!"

Good work, SquishSquashGirl!

BTW, what DID you do with that squash?

Was there a full vid for "Lasagna", or just what was on the DVD? That was hilarious! Plus, Elvis, you forgot to mention the whole TWAS opening sequence was on there! Go Harvey!
