I feel like there’s a whole pipeline of really bad dvd or blueray repressings of things they just put out there to try and make a quick buck.
Something has to go in the 5 dollar ball-pit style bin at Walmart though. I remember when they used to have that for VHS tapes in dollar stores too. At least men and black 2 for 99c is something you could have on in the background with a plugin VCR-CRT combo on the table while you cooked or whatever.
I know it’s the movie business and studios are always trying to squeeze out another dollar. In the aughts I can imagine Universal doing a pan-and-scan if they didn’t have a - whatchamacallit - master copy for some obscure movie from an obscure studio from (many) decades before.
But they did that to a movie they released themselves 20 years before. Not only that. Adjusted for inflation it had a ~$31 million budget. That’s next level lazy and greedy.
