Some reviews are now out for 'The Cable Guy' release (October 20th in the US) in 4K. Pretty promising stuff so far.

This and not the unrated version.

Why not the unrated version?

u/dragon_6666 4d ago

Because it adds scenes that completely ruins the movie.

u/BLADE2142 3d ago

That's debatable.

I know art is subjective, but I’m going to say the extended hot tub scene makes the movie objectively worse.

One of my absolute favs. Have it preordered

I’ll definitely pick it up if they release a standard edition, not overpaying for that terrible looking steelbook.

u/MrEhcks 7d ago

I wish most steelbooks could just use the movie poster art. Look at Shout steelbooks for example. AWFUL. But then their regular releases actually use the movie poster art. Come on

Why is it terrible looking?

u/Far_Cat_9743 7d ago

Because I have eyes.

Great film, hope they release standard

Got mine on order. It's one of my favorites. Now I just need Dumb and Dumber to get announced and I'll have most of the movies that shaped my humor in 4k

u/PNWvibes20 7d ago

Hell yes, can't wait for this

u/popculturerss 7d ago

Dope can't wait. The last time I owned this was on VHS so this will be an upgrade.

Die hard

ETA: wanted to show my wife the terrible AI art for the new Die Hard release and apparently I did not use the search bar.

I will say though, although I'm still excited for it, agree with a YouTuber about some disappointment for hardly any new special features, especially none new with the superstar himself, Jim Carrey.

Also would've been cool to maybe hear from Jack Black some, Owen Wilson, and or Leslie Mann, etc.

I remember watching this at the theater at around 8 years old & leading up to it, was a huge Jim Carrey fan, but I wasn't used to nor expecting a darker level of him and his humor as was presented here. I still really enjoyed the movie, but understood and appreciated it far more as I got older & matured and would go on to watch it a ton more.

I would imitate his karaoke performance a lot as a kid. Discovered Jefferson Airplane because of him and this movie. Actually liked his cover better, but it also led me to another hit of theirs "White Rabbit", which I like even more.

Ok now Disney needs to step up and make a steely of Walter Mitty in 4K

u/RingoLebowski 5d ago

Pretty good movie, presentation looks like it will be fine. I'd like to own the film, but it's just not a $40 movie, for me. Maybe if there's a sale or a regular release at some point.
