    Breaking: Scientists unveil 20,000 y/o ice mummy “perfectly preserved” in the Eurasian Steppe. What they found from a CT scan of his stomach was described as “shocking” and “made it difficult to imagine how an ancient human on this kind of diet could live to such an old age”.

      Edit

      Holy shit are movie execs fucking greedy. I can’t imagine spending money to get what is hardly better than an old-school shit tv broadcast minus the ads.

      The film was released in 4:3 pan and scan on DVD by Universal on December 28, 2004.

      Kino Lorber released the film on Blu-ray on December 10, 2019, preserving the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

        I feel like there’s a whole pipeline of really bad dvd or blueray repressings of things they just put out there to try and make a quick buck.

        Something has to go in the 5 dollar ball-pit style bin at Walmart though. I remember when they used to have that for VHS tapes in dollar stores too. At least men and black 2 for 99c is something you could have on in the background with a plugin VCR-CRT combo on the table while you cooked or whatever.

          I know it’s the movie business and studios are always trying to squeeze out another dollar. In the aughts I can imagine Universal doing a pan-and-scan if they didn’t have a - whatchamacallit - master copy for some obscure movie from an obscure studio from (many) decades before.

          But they did that to a movie they released themselves 20 years before. Not only that. Adjusted for inflation it had a ~$31 million budget. That’s next level lazy and greedy.
