[Proposal] Monty Python's Meaning of Life

[Doctor M]

I recently found out about Meaning of Life having a 4k UHD release. I researched to see what bonus features are there versus my old DVD and found there was only one new extra.

What really got me down (Mrs. Brown) is discovering that there is no Director's Cut of the movie included. 4k or 1080p even.

Has anyone been considering reconstructing this?
I haven't done any edits like this in a long time and 4k/HDR source material is, at the moment, outside of my skill set. (Things seem hard or tough.)

I just haven't had this kind of free time in years (And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft.)

In the end, I just don't have interest in getting a 4k disc that's going backwards to the theatrical cut. I'm sick of studios doing this: upgrade the quality and downgrade the cut. (And you feel that you've had quite enough....)

Is there any HD release of the Director's Cut?
If you're inserting footage from the DVD, you're probably better off going with either the BD or down-sampling the UHD to 1080p SDR. Much easier to work with and will be less noticeable having SD inserts.

I don't know. The deleted scenes added back are available as bonus features on the 4k release, but I don't know in what resolution.

DVDCompare.net doesn't mention what resolution the deleted scenes are in regarding both the 4K and BD releases.

Pity the 4K UHD only has English DTS:X and not the original cinema audio available. Wonder which LD, for the Theatrical Cut, has the best audio available to sync.
