Yeah, I get the practice of broadcast TV doing this for pretty much every movie to fill in the needed air space which I've seen firsthand for years. But with it being bandied about that the only "cut" of TBC is what we already know it to be, getting this added content out of nowhere is a mystery.....for everyone.

The 30th Anniversary of the Breakfast Club. In theaters Thu Mar 26. More information as it becomes available, but right now, I've got the date written down

I'm not seeing anything online about a theatrical release.

Fathom Event... doesn't look like they're actively promoting it yet. Found it listed on Fandango while I was compiling a list of upcoming release dates.

Since it was on Historical Pics twitter feed today, and we always like our Breakfast Club content, here's a picture from the production:

The Breakfast Club 30th Anniversary Edition

Depending on exactly how long the 12-Part doc is, this still seems to be very light in the extras department. But, I do like the idea of a Commentary Track with Hall and Nelson, but somewhat disappointed that it's only them. With that said, I would and will still end up buying this DVD just for the Resolution bump, which would be a huge step up. I mentioned it a few post back how soft the film looked on my original DVD pressing. So, the idea of seeing TBC at 6x's the resolution has me pumped. This is definitely a Must-Buy for me. As for the theatrical re-release, I highly doubt it will be offered here.

It looks like the trivia track is the only new thing on here. Everything else is same as the DVD I got for less than ten bucks brand new at Target.

Well that blows. Why the f*ck can't Universal get anything right with this movie? Why is it always treated as an afterthought. Since I skipped the most recent pressing of the DVD, I don't know what is or isn't new. But the fact that they are just porting stuff over tells me the studio doesn't give a f*ck. Trivia tracks on DVDs as a whole suck donkey balls. Well, the ones I've seen do. I'm guessing the Doc I watched a couple of months back on YouTube is going to be the same one huh? If that's the case, it doesn't clock in more than 20 minutes total. That's just a guess and not a factual number. But that's still weak in my book.

The only trivia track I remember liking was the one on Galaxy Quest b/c Mike and Denise Okuda wrote it, the whole thing was full of jokes and fake trivia about the fake show (including episode summaries), "info" on the ship, background on the characters (Tim Allen's character had a sitcom called "Hello Nighbor!" and released a polka album). There was some actual trivia about the movie, I think, but it was few and far between.

Anyway, if you don't have TBC on DVD, get the Flashback edition from Target, 10 bucks new. Or wait until the blu-ray gets cheap. Or wait for the movie to pop back onto Netflix.

I have the Original Pressing. I skipped the 2 other pressings that came after. I will still get the 30th Ann. Edition just for the Higher Resolution.

What's on the original pressing?

What's on the original pressing?

Nothing. Doesn't even have a f*cking trailer! That's why I get really annoyed with Universal. They have f*cked up every release for the film.

Neumatic · « **Reply #73 on:** February 12, 2015, 05:21:50 pm »

When did the original pressing come out?

The problem with old flicks is that there isn't a lot of supplemental material, and since John Hughes never really did commentaries or anything when he was like (well, one on a Ferris Bueller DVD), so there's little they can actually put IN the discs. They'd have to commission new material and that's expensive, and they probably don't get viewed as much as the regular movie by a wide margin.

Supercut f John Hughes flicks. very Breakfast Club heavy, which is why it's in this thread (which I think has become our go-to JH thread)
