Grumpy Old Men :Double Disc

Does anybody know if the upcoming re-release of "Grumpy Old Men" will be in anamorphic Widescreen, or even widescreen at all?

According to the recent Warner Home Video chat at HTF, yes, GRUMPY OLD MEN and its sequel, GRUMPIER OLD MEN, will be in anamorphic widescreen.

It's double-sided. Doesm't seem to be any sort of a SE.

Unless WB has changed their policy with these double feature discs, the odds are 70-30 that both are still full frame.

Good to know it's finally widescreen. Went ahead and preordered at DDD. Too bad it's double-sided though, but that'll have to do - these movies are just too damn fun.

BAD NEWS:



Unless that cover is wrong, these are the same shitty 1.33:1 open-matte transfers from before.

Glad I held onto my snappers, though I am not to surprised Warner messed this up. As for Warner, they missed the boat here by being cheap and taking the dvds from the snappers instead. Nobody will upgrade at all now! I still hope that may be an unrevised image, but I doubt it!

I've just confirmed that both are full-screen.

Have a nice day.

"You'll guffaw down laughing"?

Was that actually the tagline?

And to think I almost gave away the nice box set that includes both dvds from the previous release. Even though they are foolscreen, my family watches these movies more than most in the entire dvd collection. What a shame WB!

They are working on another release that will be 16:9.

The info is posted on Home Theater Forum.

We have to wait a little longer for the anamophic versions, which I can handle. I would be pissed if I had this pre-ordered.

If you think about it this makes more sense than Warner giving us 2 16x9 transfers of 2 classic movies at such a low price, it seemed to perfect to be true which is why I was so excited about this release intially. However Warner deserves major heat for false marketing again on the peoples behalf, I can't believe they get away with this crap and now many people have to cancel any preorders or have given away their snappers of the 2 movies. Warner get it right the 1st time will you, this looks so unprofessional on Warners part it hurts.
