This was fine. I demanded my money back for Cable Guy and got it.

I have a predilection for bad movies to. Every time Time Cops on the TV i watch it and it's on a lot.

I enjoyed The Cable Guy. I think it was one of the best dark comedy's.

Maybe cause it came out right after Dumb & Dumber (classic). I'd have to give it another go I guess.

(Fe)Man · 11-27-2008, 01:08 AM

Descent movie. I'll wait till it goes down to like $10 before I buy though.

The Cable Guy is a great movie but it took a few views before I could really enjoy it.

Is it just me or does the transfer not look much better than the DVD? The screen shots aren't very flattering.

dvd_mazter · 11-27-2008, 01:02 AM

Man, this is disappointing. The Mask is one of my favourite comedies and I'm super upset that the disc is so poor. I guess I won't be buying this

mrgreed202 · 11-27-2008, 01:05 AM

this was the first dvd i had gotten when we got a dvd player, i figured this one would be superb on blu. i guess not

Just saw The Truman Show a few nights ago and thought it wasn't bad. Interesting concept.

It's just you.

Just kidding. The Beaver reviewer stated the PQ is very soft. I will PASS on this release mainly due to the poor image quality.

Midnightsailor · 11-27-2008, 02:51 AM

I think the transfer looks a lot better than the dvd, personally. Anyway, The Cable Guy is awesome.

Ditto... looks better than the DVD to me, too.

Moviefan2k4 · 05-20-2010, 05:53 AM

Personally, I think those screenshots from the Blu-Ray are way too dark, and the greens in that shot of Jim as the Mask looks extremely over-saturated. For anyone who actually has this, and watches it on a HDTV, does the picture deliver or not?

It is possible that the image is soft due to when the film was made and the amount of cgi that was used? I haven't seen this film theatrically, but saw it on a hdtv channel and it looked significantly better then the dvd I had seen.

Only the last screen shot with the dog looked a little DVD. I was impressed with how green the mask looked.

The image as the reviewer said is considerably darker than the DVD but that's not bad thing. It's just unlike the DVD where the picture was warmed up to try and compensate for the poor quality.

The Blu-Ray is trying to look as natural as possible so it does not have that over warm affect.

ryoohki · 11-27-2008, 03:00 PM

Very soft.. look like mostly every single catalog from New Line. This one look like an excellent Hardware upscaled 720x480p source to 1080p... there's no detail whatsoever in anything..

RedIsNotBlue · 11-27-2008, 03:03 PM

Looks better than the DVD but not exactly a demo disc.
