Parenthood (1989, Ron Howard & Steve Martin) Re-release
 

Does anyone know if this movie is being re-released anytime soon and possibly with WS?

Thanks.

if it does get a re-release it will have widescreen...

nothing in site

also need a new copy of the jerk

If this ever got released I would buy it in a second. This movie has always been a family favorite for us. Also it would be kinda interesting to get the TV Show on DVD to see some of Joss Whedon's earliest work.

I believed that an SE was announced for that for later this year.

^^^hope it holds true...wish a firm date would show up.

I love Parenthood, it has been several years since I watched it. A friend of mine has it on DVD, but I don't, I would buy it W/S though.

I'd love to see an SE of this one. Great flick!

also house sitter

Definatly need a new version of The Jerk... Parenthood would be a nice follow up.

Just a quick bump, fishing for any new information I may have missed. :)

Is this movie OOP or something?

yes it is oop, and the dvd that is out is lame

That is why I still have a laserdisc I got in a collection I purchased. It is full Screen, but the DVD is as well and more expensive. I may pick it up if they ever reslease a decent version.

I keep hoping with the new pink panther movie on the horizon some of these Steve martin titles will see new light

Good news, Parenthood is being rereleased!
 

one of the more underrated comdies of the eighties is being rereleased on Sept 6th. bummer is it's still a barebones release but still better than paying 30-40 on Ebay.

it is listed as a full frame release, but don't fret. this film was shot in that format and was matted for theater release. so what you see at home will actually be more than was shown at the cineplex.

Parenthood DVD release...

Hahah, ok, I won't fret. It'll look great on my widescreen tv. ;)

Is this a joke? Parenthood is already available on DVD, in useless and incorrect "full frame." Thanks for the reassurance and the quick lesson in aspect ratios, but I'll wait for a proper widescreen release.

could you be more of an ass...you could try but i doubt it. this DVD has been OOP for a couple of years, and according to IMDB.com it was filmed at 1.37 negative aspect ratio. if you want to correct me, if in fact i was wrong, that's cool. just trying to pass along news on a release i was excited about. JERK.

First off welcome to DVDtalk :wave:

Second please take some time to look around and read through some of the rules http://www.dvdtalk.com/legal.html We encourage people to discuss things but it should be done in a civilized manner. The tone in this post could be considered a personal attack. You could have easily gotten your point across w/o adopting such a hostile manner.

Thanks

And everything could have been avoided altogether if SkooBooz had actually read the thread before responding.

Not disagreeing with the mod on what they said (I fully agree), but i'm just sayin'...

You make a good point ;)

hey, i apologize for violating said rule, and i'll accept the rebuke in the spirit it was given and will abide by the standards that have been set upon each and every member. my offense may have been more blatant, but the poster it was directed at couldn't have been more rude even if his remark was veiled with sarcasm and general disdain.

what would reading the thread do? If it's actually available already and this release is no different from the one currently out there (and really...how many of us actually give a shit about full screen releases unless it's to boycott the company), then how is it a re-release?

i will state this one more time...this movie was shot in full screen ratio , just like the Kubrick movies,(not that i'm comparing the quality of said movie). if you want a widescreen version that was never intended, so be it.

Great flick! And I'd love to add it to my collection. I'll have ta pass on a full frame/Open Matte version tho. (I hate those black bars on the right and left of my screen!) :)

Amazon shows "new and used copies from 18.99", and no word on a reissue. Hmmm... Gonna have ta look into it and check back with this thread a bit. Thanks tho!
