    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.
