Imagine complaining about 4K releases of classic films...

By the time this one releases the Blu-ray version will be two years and four months old. That's not "recent times" and if you think that's "money grabbing" you're in the wrong hobby.

Come, on two years and four months is pretty recent (back in my day that's how long you had to wait after the theatrical release before you could buy a movie on VHS), especially when they could have released the 4K version back then already since it was sourced from the 4K remaster...!

It does not seem to be an exclusive, I am thinking yes.

DVD Josh · 12-17-2021, 03:40 PM

The recent release looks amazing, not sure I will buy this just for the 4K disc.

Cool. We're not back in your day. We're in 2021 with 2022 just weeks away. Also, since you seem to know so much about what they could and couldn't have done I'll just leave this here.

Spine has updated MGM logo and the BD logo is now a UHD one. Other than that, yeah.

pab1219 · 12-17-2021, 04:59 PM

Probably have the Trilogy Collection.

Sigh. Anybody wanna buy an opened but never watched copy of the 2-disc Blu-ray steelbook?

TK_171 · 12-17-2021, 06:51 PM

Passed on the previous Arrow release as I was waiting for the inevitable 4K disc. Very happy to see the Steelbook get a rerelease too!
