Quote:

Innovative filmmaker, Spike Lee (She's Gotta Have It), brings to the screen a music-filled, offbeat contemporary comedy that takes an unforgettable look at Black college life. Amidst gala coronations, football, fraternities, parades and parties, the stars of the film-Laurence Fishburne ("Dap" Dunlap), an intense student who encourages his buddies ("DaFellas") to fight for his beliefs; Giancarlo Esposito (Julian "Big Brother Almighty" Eaves), out to strengthen the Greek system with his Gamma PhiGamma fraternity brothers; Spike Lee ("Half-Pint"), driven to become a "Gamma man"; and Tisha Campbell (Jane Toussaint), leader of the sorority, "Gamma Rays," find themselves caught up in romance and relationships/rituals and rivalries during one outrageous homecoming weekend. With dynamic music, including EU's hit "Da Butt", and dance numbers choreographed by Otis Sallid (Fame), Lee successfully challenges viewpoints about self-identity and self-esteem in this original, contemporary musical comedy.

Nice! Getting this!

Did not have that on my bingo card but happy to welcome it into my collection.

Great news. Sony is so unpredictable when it comes to their 4K titles. Love it.

maverick22 · 11-09-2023, 02:43 PM

Never watched the BD that came out 5 years ago ha. Man, time flew!

cheez avenger · 11-09-2023, 02:47 PM

Nice!

BobbyMcGee · 11-09-2023, 03:39 PM

Awesome!

School Daze (1988) is my personal favorite Spike Lee film with Do The Right Thing (1989) a very close second.

I would love to see Kino upgrade the Spike Lee titles they released to 4K Blu-ray as well.

That would be nice, though I do recall Kino having some sort of difficulty with Spike Lee and/or waiting a long time for him to approve the releases/record commentary tracks.

I'd love to see Sony MOD put out Baby Boy (2001) finally, it's long overdue.

chip75 · 11-09-2023, 03:52 PM

Had a flashback to Skool Daze on the ZX Spectrum.

maverick22 · 11-09-2023, 05:06 PM

I’m a basketball junkie, so obviously He Got Game is what I am hoping for in 4k!

I know it sounds weird, but I didn’t have time to watch this when I bought it, so I skimmed the digital, and it just didn’t seem as good as Do the Right thing imo. I’ll of course have to give it a proper sit down and watch soon.

Since Sony is upgrading this, I'd love it if they'd finally put out the long-MIA "Get on the Bus" on blu ray. I have "School Daze" on blu, already, and am not 4K.

I won't hold my breath for "Girl 6", since it's with the mouse house. Maybe only if Criterion could wrestle it from them.

New Jersey Drive (exec produced by Spike L. and released through Universal) would be huge, i've been waiting forever and one of the most criminally underrated movies of the 1990s.

SONY continues to always surprise with their catalog title 4K UHD releases.

Always gives me hope for so many. (Marie Antoinette cough cough)

Yes, please. Great movie.

I've had the DVD on my Amazon wishlist forever, but haven't pulled the trigger because I'm hoping for a blu-ray at least.

THF90 · 11-09-2023, 07:04 PM

Tisha Campbell in 4k!

I mentioned NJD to the Kino Lorber Insider and he said it was with another label. I wonder who has it to release?

I was more a fan of Everyone’s a Wally and Jack the Nipper. Much better than modern, identikit CoD games or the yearly FIFA Lootbox editions.

I saw this when it first came out with my friend who was in a fraternity. Great dialogue! I look forward to the 4k UHD.

Assuming this is going to be the typical Sony 4K steel book for this release?
