Luckily I still think I just have the DVD. "WE AIN'T FOUND SHIT!"

Rinse, repeat.

For me, personally, this is probably a Day None purchase, because in spite of enjoying the film, I don't need to double dip on it, and I already have in on a sufficient Blu-ray.

But, yeah, finally another chestburster scene in 4K. Just not the one most people want.

You forgot the part where someone posts a youtube link to the FilmsatHome review and it turns into a page of "How the hell does guy have 40k subscribers?"

And a good thing, too...

When Paramount Pictures studio executives were shown a cut of this movie, they wanted the opening and closing surrealist sequences to be cut. Executive producer Mel Brooks, according to producer Stuart Cornfeld, said to them: "We are involved in a business venture. We screened the film for you, to bring you up to date as to the status of that venture. Do not misconstrue this as our soliciting the input of raging primitives."

Indeed. He basically launched David Lynch.

day 1 love it

Moar MGM 4K pleassseee!

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein should be big sellers.
(Although the anti-comedy brigade would undoubtedly rise up with their pitchforks...)

Day 1 for sure. It will be a quintiple dip (dvd, ce dvd, bluray, se bluray) but worth it.

Nothing like checking out Barf in 4k. Day one...

Well, since he’s on the forums as Jrauseo, maybe you should ask him.

Will there be a steelbook Ludicrous Edition with plaid cover art?

Let's also not forget

• The 4K sucks because its darker
• This isn't "real" 4K because...
• People making judgements on the entire disc based on 2 badly prepared comparison screenshots
• Saying the release is wrong because they saw it in the theater 30 years ago and it doesn't look like that
• My pre-order hasn't shipped yet
• Delivery service x sucks
• I didn't get a slipcover
• This movie is amazing/sucks
• To really appreciate this disc you need x equipment
• Where does the code redeem
• Is there/why isn't there a remastered bluray
• The artwork would be much better if they used this instead
• Why is/isnt their grain

Indeed. Sometimes I can't remember a movie I saw a week ago.

Not really uncredited, it was a Brooksfilms production.

He/they also produced Cronenberg's The Fly.
