Concerning so called 'Space Westerns', does anyone here have a fondness for OUTLAND?

Alas, the American DVD of Outland is go-se, the non-anamorphic widescreen is jumpy due to the poor transfer, and the full-screen is a mite pixel-y (although entirely watchable), you Brits no doubt have an anamorphic and beautiful R2 dvd at your disposal...
And anamorphic Dark Angel...

I love outland. I believe Aliens was mentioned somewhere, and I have heard that it 'unofficially' takes place in the Aliens universe, though how true that is I don't know.
'81 huh, year of my Birth...
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

How weird.
I was trawling through HMV just yesterday, and happened upon a copy of Outland in there. I remembered watching it years back, and it occurred to me that it shared some common ground with our Firefly, coming from that whole 'space-western' sub-genre. Never even thought about it before. So I bought it to watch again at a later date.
I log on today, and spot this thread. Spoo-kee!

HMV...in the UK I guess?
Is your copy anamorphic? I bet it is. You UK peeps always get the best lookin' dvd's (if a little late)

I remember Outland, loved it too. Don't see it much on the movie cable Channels but I record and watch it every time its scheduled. Never thought about it but now that you mention it, it was like the town Sheriff standing up to the outlaw gang coming in to kill him off.

I've never actually seen OUTLANDER, but when I saw this thread, mymind flashed to CHILDREN OF THE CORN and the famous "Outlander" quote, which was used in SOUTH PARK.
"Outlander!! We have your woman. Her blood will spill, outlander. Outlander!!"
Oddly enough, I think if FIREFLY had continued, they would have found a way to use that phrase mroe or less.
