The Jerk: Special Edition - July 26th
According to DVD Answers, Universal's releasing The Jerk in a "26th Anniversary edition" on July 26th. There don't seem to be many features to speak of at all, but it is in 1.85 anamorphic widescreen, which is the important thing.
More details at DVD Answers.

It certainly does look to be slim on the extras, but as long as it's been released in Anamorphic, I'm in. This is one of only two MAR discs in my 800+ collection, and both are being re-released by Universal within weeks of each other. The other being Billy Wilder's "The Front Page".

This is great news. One of a handful of comedies I want that is missing from my collection because only a pan & scan version is available. I'll finally be able to view this again. Here's hoping other OAR versions of comedies come out also, such as Grumpy Old Men, Funny Farm, Kindergarten Cop, etc.

Now we need remastered OAR special editions of THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS and ALL OF ME, two of Steve's absolute best, which are currently available on DVD only in bare-bones P&S crapsville transfers made many years ago.

There was going to be a special packaging variation including a device for those of us who have trouble keeping our glasses on our noses, but apparently Universal's legal department put the kibosh on it due to potential side effects.

An anamorphic widescreen version of this film is all I need. Oh, and I need some extras, too. That's all I need, the anamorphic widescreen transfer and some extras. Oh, and I need good cover art, too. Just the anamorphic transfer, some extras, and cover art.
