Looks like our pockets are going to take major hits 😂 I'm so glad about Inside Man coming to 4k I absolutely love that movie! Obviously panic room is a no brainer too!
They keep giving us so much loll. I’m glad but my bank isn’t happy loll. I think Inside man will look great on 4K. Hopefully that opens the door up to more Spike Lee 4ks
@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia apart from Malcolm X and Do the right thing I'm not a fan of his other movies outside of those 3 movies. His a great director no doubt, but he has had a lot of miss hits.
@021om6 As much as I love his work I agree. Especially in between 25th hour and Blackkklansman. I wouldn’t say any of those are classics. Even some of his early stuff can be uneven.
I was reading that someone contacted Shout Factory about the Riddick edit. It looks like, David Twohy, the director oversaw the transfer and that it was his decision that he wanted that bit removed
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia I'm not a fan of directors altering the theatrical version. Best to keep it how it was for preservation. If they want to edit a director's cut then that's more understandable
@MrSmellyPotato23 I completely agree because now you’re trying to erase something like it never happened. Once the theatrical is released that should stay in tact
I watched the new Riddick 4k, and can confirm that there is an awkward fade out at the end/climax of the movie. I watched the scene a few times because I thought something was wrong with my disc, but nope, it was just censored out. Which is also lame because it highlighted the flirtatious banter/weird relationship between the two characters. My main issue is that it’s false advertising, it’s not actually the theatrical cut or unrated extended cuts that we’re getting. It might be a little thing, but to me it sets a bad precedent to support these kinds of changes. I’ll be returning mine.
I a 100% agree with you. Yea it might be little but it’s noticeable to fans of the film. I don’t see the reasoning for it but someone else said it was the directors choice. I’m not sure why it was necessary but it didn’t need to be done. I just don’t think we should be making these types of changes.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia As far as I know, this was indeed the directors choice, which I guess is fine. I don’t get it, but that’s irrelevant. But then call it the “new” directors cut or the “No Butt cut” haha Otherwise, it’s false advertising and completely unnecessary. At the minimum give the viewer a choice to select the version they want to watch. I mean, that’s one of the great things about physical media, having that choice. If that’s taken away form us via censorship or whatever else, then what are we even doing here? Scream factory of course didn’t take any accountability, however, they are the ones that marketed and sold it. So, then who would you say is responsible? It’s just another example of poor communication from them, so I have zero empathy for the backlash they’re experiencing. At the end of the day, is it life and death?… absolutely not! Am I screaming from the rooftops in outrage… no. Yet, if I’m paying a premium price for an already niche product. I expect to get what I pay for, and for that product to be accurate. Anything short of that should be rejected.
@LegacyHorror I completely agree. It’s false advertising. You made a change now you age. to own it. Maybe he thought no one would notice. But then you’re already undervaluing the people who watch your films. So either way you just come out and say your peace on it and rename the new cut. I like the but cut loll
Would love The French Connection. Providing that whoever does it,also includes a Blu Ray copy If it was WB or Paramount, it would be no chance in hell(in the U.S.) but if it's Disney via Sony or Criterion, maybe a chance? I don't have it on physical media and the previous BD came out over a decade ago. Plus maybe they could do the sequel too. I don't think French Connection 2 has ever been released on Blu Ray(I could be wrong though)
If it’s Criterion then we’ll definitely get a blu ray scan of the new transfer on there. I believe Disney has the rights so if they release it themselves it should have a blu ray. And that previous blu ray i think is OOP and sells for high prices on ebay because it’s unedited. I’m also not to sure about the french connection 2. I’ll have to look into that.
Thanks for talking about THE FRENCH CONNECTION 4k rumor. I don't think Popeye Doyle is a racist just like Dirty Harry is not a racist. Treating criminals without politeness does not make one racist.
You can treat criminals a certain way without using certain slurs but for the time in the early 70s his portrayal is accurate. And don’t forget he’s not a happy person so people like that look at groups in a negative light just because they feel hate for themselves.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia Criminals don't care about victims they care just getting what they want by any means. You want to treat them like they are Prince Charles or the prime minister of England?
Preordered... Thief. However, Arrow will most likely release their own edition which will probably include the theatrical cut. IMO Thief is far superior to Heat. Godzilla vs Biollante ..is a Day 1 as well! French Connection 4K ... is huge announcement! Disney may be starting to slowly release their Fox titles.
Maybe they have learned the error of their ways and figured out they can make money without doing the work and make fans of these films happy at the same time lol. Thief is close to Heat for me. Maybe this 4K will help pull it ahead. His 3 beats films are all really close i qualify for me.
I think Spike Lee gives us a look into different groups of people and tries to look at them from all angles. Try and illustrate to people that we all don’t come from the same cloth. Given the same chances. inside Man just happens to be a great Heist film.
Already got the Keep and CONGO!!! 😬
I’ll be getting them at some point for sure!
I agree with you on PANIC ROOM! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!! Hey John have you ever seen SIMON BIRCH???????????????
I have seen it. That’s a real teal jerker. I went into that movie not expecting that.
02:32; literally inducted into the National Registry today.
Well deserved too!!
I'm super excited about Coneheads coming to 4k. I have that movie memorized
I’ll have to give that one a research when it comes to 4k!
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia I watched the bluray this year and didn't like it.
2025 is the year of Tarantino and Fincher
It’s going to be a great year!
Looks like our pockets are going to take major hits 😂 I'm so glad about Inside Man coming to 4k I absolutely love that movie! Obviously panic room is a no brainer too!

@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia give me 25th hour, clockers and he got game and I will be a happy bunny
@021om6 That’s the three at the top of my list!!!

Looking forward to panic room, still
Have the dvd
I remember that Dvd lol

Thanks for that info. That’s a strange decision but if it’s the directors then I guess we can’t argue with it.

Thanks buddy! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!

Im bacccck. What are your top 10 insane asylum movies or that deal with the criminally insane? 😈
This is an awesome question! I’m glad your back I was wondering if you were still around.
Spike Lee movies all have hate. INSIDE MAN does not feel like a Spike Lee movie.
I think Spike Lee gives us a look into different groups of people and tries to look at them from all angles. Try and illustrate to people that we all don’t come from the same cloth. Given the same chances. inside Man just happens to be a great Heist film.
25th Hour is my favorite of his
@Chrisratata That’s top 3 for me!!
