I love The Cable Guy. Totally in.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Yes! Blue ray!

Probably a double release with some other Carrey stinker.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

If he's doing commentary, I doubt it. Brand new bonuses only to be slapped into a 2-pack?

Also, the only other Carrey movie I can think of that Sony owns is Fun With Dick and Jane.

Hoping for some deleted scenes. I imagine Ben Stiller is also on this track.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Could always be repackaged with Number 23 (or The Mask or The Majestic).

Saw this last year through VuDu...not a bad film, but probably something I'd never watch again. I know it has it's fans, though.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Those are New Line/Warner Bros. films, not Sony.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

This was verified months and months ago by a tweet from Ben Stiller.

edit: found it

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Sweet. Still, I never would've expected a Jim Carrey commentary. First commentary ever. It'd be nice to think we could get commentary on a bunch of his movies, namely The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine...

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

I remember right after Ben Stiller Tweeted that, I replied to him and asked very nicely if he could somehow get Jim Carrey to do a commentary track on this. You're welcome, guys.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Nice, don't recall being a big fan of TCG but it has been years since I've seen it. I may give it a shot thanks to Carrey's commentary.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Great news! I would preorder it today if I could.

I remember when I saw this in theaters, I was laughing until I cried and the rest of the audience was like dead silent for the most part. It just really worked for me.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Love this movie, still can't believe it never got a SE after the 12 year old DVD release.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

It'd be really nice to imagine the commentary is a group affair: Stiller on most of the scenes, plus Carrey, Broderick, Judd Apatow, Jack Black (and Kyle Gass), Owen Wilson, Leslie Mann, Janeane Garofalo and Andy Dick, David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, etc. Or, at least a featurette with these people, who as far as I know are still friends with Stiller.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Oh wow. I thought Cable Guy was a WB release. Damn.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Stiller also tweeted that there would be audition footage of the cast.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Just in time for the 15th anniversary.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Stiller Tweeted this early this morning:

"RedHourBen

Just did the Cable Guy commentary with Jim Carrey and Judd Apatow.. Same things make me laugh 15 years later."

Awesome news.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Now I am really interested in listening to that commentary.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Sounds great. I never got the DVD, but loved this movie. I'll definitely be picking up the Blu-ray release with the great sounding commentary track.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Wonder if Stiller had any say in this release, because I'd really like to see Reality Bites too.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

I'll pick this up. I always thought it was a great dark comedy. Still, I'll wait until it's <$15.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

I remember that Chris Farley was originally going to play Carrey's part. I don't suppose that ever got to the point where they would have footage, did it?

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Man, I need to hear the complete specs for this release ASAP. Commentary, a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, auditions, and trailers, and I'll be good.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Carrey/Apatow/Stiller commentary? No way!

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Nice, one of my favorite comedies.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Amazing specs! Can't fucking wait.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

That's more like it!

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

I cannot wait for that.

Thanks for updating the specs, that is exciting.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

That should be one great commentary track!

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

It's a horrible, boring, totally unfunny movie so I don't want it to come out, but you know it's going to. Up until this, I didn't think that neither Matthew Broderick or Jim Carrey could make a bad movie. I was wrong. Carrey commentary....yes. Stiller commentary....yes. But Judd Apatow...hell, no. I can't stand him. He's the most overrated director I have ever heard of. He has never done anything the least bit funny. I really wanted to like The Cable Guy, but I just couldn't do it. It is so boring. Sort of like Tim Burton's commentary on Edward Scissorhands.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Glad to see your streak of utterly terrible posting continue unabated.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Well, I for one will be getting this. I love these types of commentaries and a retrospective one at that, so day 1 purchase.

re: THE CABLE GUY Blu-Ray >> 3/1/11
 

Tell us how you really feel.

Nice to see some brand new features for this release.
Definately a underated film. One of my favorites from both Jim carry and Ben stiller
