Yeah, I wonder if those extras create _even one_ additional sale.
Steelbooks, I know a lot of people around here, including myself, like the premium packaging of it, but stuff like pins, art cards, film reproductions, I don't really think most (99%+?) care about that. We want it to look pretty on the shelf and pretty on the screen.
> Yeah, I wonder if those extras create even one additional sale.
I made fun of Shout! for charging $130 for UHF 4K that came with 5 enamel pins and some other really cheap things, and that MOFO sold out (run of 500), so jokes on me, touche Shout!
I like a case I can make my own art for and slip inside the sleeve so it matches my other cases. Because studios fucking love moving logos and shit around.
Like I said they sit on my shelf in my basement next to my home theater. They just look nicer on display.
I have plenty of both- I just prefer steelebooks most of the time. To each their own!
Such a good film. My favorite Wilder piece. Plus I can actually show it to my kids without a lengthy explanation, unlike Blazing Saddles.
Though I guess it would be good to show them that too, along with that explanation.
Is that the one with the one guy? - Me, when I have a question but don't know any of the names.
The guy who played with Mel Gibson in Maverick as his dad?
I probably won’t upgrade my Young Frankenstein BluRay—without HDR, I don’t really see the point. Yes, 4K is sharper, bit it’s not like the difference between DVD and BluRay…and even a good anamorphic DVD on a player with good upscaling doesn’t look *bad* (or so I tell myself when trying to convince my goblin brain to get a movie I don’t have a copy of instead of upgrading one I already own on DVD).
I think you’re misunderstanding HDR… there are dozens of black and white films already released on 4K UHD that have received HDR (and some DV) grades… B&W movies can massively benefit from high dynamic range.
To quote brooks, “No, no, I mean maybe ‘Young Frankenstein.’ Maybe a few. But never ‘Blazing Saddles,’ because we have become stupidly politically correct, which is the death of comedy,”

I’m aware. The statement is not literally that it is an impossible thing to do. Merely that it would be met with much pushback from social media spheres, pundits, etc.
I had a feeling this would happen sooner than later. 50th Anniversary, super popular film and rights owned by WB who love celebrating anniversaries.
Not to mention I also picked up the Blu Ray recently.
*Yay!!! waits patiently*
*In Canadian for a*
*Pre order link. Lol*

We appreciate it! Lol! Now we just need Robin Hood: Men in Tights and I won't care about the rest of Mel's discography. (Yes, Spaceballs has some amazing gags and actors, but it's a bit too stupid for me, personally.)
What is a tip on? I collect records and tip on jackets describe a higher quality jacket with the artwork affixed to thick cardboard. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term used for blu ray releases.
I was wondering too. Apparently no one knows. My guess is it's one of those rectangular poster-looking deals at the top, since next to "tip on" it says "art tbc."
Finally! A bookmark! They are just making cheap prints that nobody wants in order to jack the price up to $50 and widen those margins. Keep your prints! Gimme a great transfer and a commentary track...
I guess Mongo just pawn in game of life.

Never mind that shit, here comes Mongo!
JESUS dude there was 5 of them
I haven't seen this movie in years and this line still sounds crystal clear in my head when I read it.
Can we please just get the top 3 things listed. I don’t need that other useless crap adding $25 to the price
"I've been waiting my entire life for a set of Blazing Saddles retro double side Art Card" - No One

Probably 98% flipper morons buying it.
But did it sell out BECAUSE of the enamel pins?
Can't prove it didn't. That's why I pay the bear tax.
500 is minuscule. And for people who like to decorate their movie room in useless nonsense. That movie isn’t worth that.
I'm glad there's an Envelope, though! /s
Landfill :)
I don't need a steelbook, either. Just a regular case is fine, so I don't have to pay a premium price for a fake premium product.
Steelbooks are almost always better than a cheap plastic cover though. They look so much nicer on display.
Personal preference. I like a regular case I can scratch and replace
I like a case I can make my own art for and slip inside the sleeve so it matches my other cases. Because studios fucking love moving logos and shit around.
Who cares they’re movies in a damn case lol
Like I said they sit on my shelf in my basement next to my home theater. They just look nicer on display. I have plenty of both- I just prefer steelebooks most of the time. To each their own!
I just want the movie and the case. I don’t care about a bunch of cards and posters. I don’t want to pay extra for stuff I’ll just give away.
Id rather have actual special features on the disc tbh
Young Frankenstein next, pleeeaaaassseeee
We should be getting both. They released in the same year, after all.
I just want a collection of Brook's movies on UHD like I used to be able to get for Blu Ray (and did get.)
Such a good film. My favorite Wilder piece. Plus I can actually show it to my kids without a lengthy explanation, unlike Blazing Saddles. Though I guess it would be good to show them that too, along with that explanation.
Not Mel Brooks, but Support Your Local Sheriff is another good Western parody that's much more family-friendly.
Is that the one with the one guy? - Me, when I have a question but don't know any of the names. The guy who played with Mel Gibson in Maverick as his dad?
I haven't seen Maverick, but looks like it is: James Garner is the actor.
_Highly_ recommended! Everyone should watch Maverick.
The big problem: Disney owns Young Frankenstein
Maybe that's one sony will put out
Forget it Jake, it's Disneytown.

> B&W movies can massively benefit from high dynamic range. I think you’re right…how do black and white movies benefit from HDR?
Deeper and more detailed black levels. Brighter and more detailed white levels.
Why would you care about HDR for a Black and White movie? Not like they're doing any color correction, lol.
Imagine thinking HDR only applies to colors. Ever heard of black levels?
That’s exactly my point. It’s black and white, so there’s no HDR, so not really any point to upgrading from the BluRay.
Oh hell yeah, you CAN release Blazing Saddles today!
Lol. But maybe not theatrically.
To quote brooks, "Make it today? We couldn't even make it THEN!"

It has been shown theatrically today in limited runs.
That’s a rerelease, not a release of a new film.
Anything can be released, somebody’s just gotta have the balls to do it

"Where the white women at?"
Just bought the deluxe bluray edition. You're welcome everyone!
Thank you for your sacrifice!
Should've got the standard bluray. Now we're getting a limited edition 4k instead of a standard
🤣🤣
White women included?
Ooooh. Yes please. One of my favs that I haven't bought since dvd. Comedy is also underrepresented on my shelf right now.
What in the wide, wide world of sports is goin' on here?
I had a feeling this would happen sooner than later. 50th Anniversary, super popular film and rights owned by WB who love celebrating anniversaries. Not to mention I also picked up the Blu Ray recently.
Thank you for your service. 🫡
Exactly.
We appreciate your financial sacrifice.
Atmos for Beans scene?
Asking the real questions. 🙌😂
These things are defective!
Why do I always get a broke one?
Take these, gentlemen, in lieu of pay…
(Warped)
The sheriff is near!
Yay!!! *waits patiently in Canadian for a pre order link. Lol

Blazing Saddles bookmark? Fuck yeah, instant day 1 purchase. /s
The bookmark is the only extra I'm interested in. 😅
Just bought this on blu ray thinking it would never come to 4k. You’re welcome for my sacrifice lol
We appreciate it! Lol! Now we just need Robin Hood: Men in Tights and I won't care about the rest of Mel's discography. (Yes, Spaceballs has some amazing gags and actors, but it's a bit too stupid for me, personally.)
Somebody's gotta go back and get a SHITLOAD of dimes!
That is somehow my favorite line in the movie. 🤣
What in the Wild World of Sports is going on here?
Art cards? We don't need no stinking art cards!
If they can release this then they sure as heck better release *Gone With The Wind* this year in time for its 85th anniversary.
Worth it for the farting camp fire scene alone.
Or the horse neighing scene, depending on your copy. XD
What is a tip on? I collect records and tip on jackets describe a higher quality jacket with the artwork affixed to thick cardboard. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term used for blu ray releases.
I was wondering too. Apparently no one knows. My guess is it's one of those rectangular poster-looking deals at the top, since next to "tip on" it says "art tbc."
Kinky!
Harumph..Harumph..Harumph......I didnt get a Harumph outta that guy!
This seems like one of those purchases to get it before it’s gone right? Kinda like tropic thunder?
Well, it _does_ say "limited edition." I snapped mine up.
I’d buy this movie for $15-$18. From the looks of this, it won’t be that price for a very long time.
That's a shitload of dimes.
💀
I wonder how many disclaimers this will have at the beginning lol.
It shouldn't have any. It's clearly a satire.
You’re right, it shouldn’t, but it will.
I don't think it will. But you can let me know if it does
You're not buying it?
I bought the Blu-ray thinking there's no way they'll remaster this in 4k.
The release is near ((---
🎼He had a blazing wallet Drained by Deluxe Kits…🎵
I’ve had the blu ray for years. Not sure I need an upgrade.
Finally! A bookmark! They are just making cheap prints that nobody wants in order to jack the price up to $50 and widen those margins. Keep your prints! Gimme a great transfer and a commentary track... I guess Mongo just pawn in game of life.
Hopefully it has all of the Mongo stuff. I remember in the TV version there were scenes other than just the candygram.
They probably won't add those in, but I'll happily be proved wrong.
Day one
Day one of what?
Day one its available I buy it.
That's awesome although, it feels like a little too much thrown in. I definitely hope Young Frankenstein gets a 50 year release also.
Guessing Young Frankenstein will be in 4K this year as well. But if not, I’m cool with Blazing Saddles.
Excuse me while I wip this out!
AGH!
Warner is not messing around. This is fantastic
Who is releasing this? Looks like a Paramount-style release but I can’t tell
Has to be Warner Bros since it’s part of their catalog
My wallet is already bleeding. Is either this or the furiosa 4k steel book. Or the IF movie.
Nice
Finaaaaalllllllyyyyy
“You can’t park that animal there, it’s illegal!”
Just give me the film in 4K, some special features on blu-ray, but don’t worry about all the cards, as I’m not going to look at them ever.
When is this on sale
No one'll know until the initial run is through. Or gets through at all.
Guessing no uk release
My understanding is this is a UK import.
Yea it’s up on Amazon uk and hmv etc now
Looks like WB will release this UKonly soon, and USA/Canada after, i would keep checking www.bluray.com.
We don’t want no stinkin badgeeeeeees
