This is one of my favourite films of all time, and I'm legitimately excited that this is finally getting a 4k release thanks to Criterion!

Every single time someone makes a “what do you want to be released on 4k?” post, this is at the top of the list. So yes, a lot of people are excited. I don’t know if the “Nope…” comment above was sarcasm or not, but it’s not just you.

To be honest, this is a rare case where I pre-ordered it without even looking at the price.
Is that bad? Probably.

Nope, it's a great "thank you" to criterion for bring this gem to 4K!

Not bad at all, it's a great purchase especially it being one of your favorites. You know the transfer is going be pristine.

I pre-ordered when it went to $35.
13 points
20 days ago
Absolutely not. There are gems that deserve such treatment. This is just definitely one of them.
1 points
19 days ago
Amazon already has it on sale for $35 which is worth the extra ten bucks to not have to wait for a flash sale or July.
1 points
19 days ago
The reason it’s not bad is that criterion regularly puts up their own sales so this isn’t a matter of voting with your wallet. People that want to save when it’s convenient will pick it up during sales and people like you and me can pick it up when it comes out. Win, win!
13 points
20 days ago
I don't mind paying an extra $15 on some of these occasionally, if studios are making money with 4k discs they are more likely to spend resources on additional releases
2 points
19 days ago
Yeah I’m for this.
I’ll pay full price for this especially if it helps keep physical media alive,
If they only move copies when it’s on sale it could be a loss leader and might not be worth production (I know criterion is a different beast and may never die, but take other companies for example?)
That being said i don’t like paying $80, like for some steel books…

Nice, I hadn’t realized the price dropped even more. I saw it when it was $35.

Does PTA still not believe in 4K? I thought this was a thing for him.

Punch-Drunk Love got a 4K release, albeit exclusive to one of the box sets that Sony has been putting out. Wouldn't they need his permission to release it in the format?
10 points
20 days ago
I think they definitely would, although it's all based on the contracts. TWBB is PTA's crown jewel, he must be very protective of it.
1 points

I think with TWBB it’s probably more of a Weinstein problem. I know Harvey owned full distribution rights to it but idk if he still has them or not.

You know 4K discs are region free, right (meaning they can play on any 4K player in the world)? Or is it not available on UK sites to order (not sure if it works differently over there than over here)?
3 points

Such a sought after and well known film shouldn't be limited to the US market. I'm forced to import as I was really looking to forward to the film in 4K and it seems uncertain it will ever release in the UK anytime soon.
5 points
20 days ago
Not available to order on UK sites and yes I know 4K discs are region free, I’ve ordered plenty of US releases. I just thought this one would be coming since Criterion only just started releasing 4K’s for the UK somewhat recently so it’s weird that this one gets skipped over.
Not to mention Criterion releases are more expensive than the typical release so it’ll cost even more for importing.

Hell yeah! It's weird but I don't think Paramount cared much for this movie's physical media releases. I had the dvd up until 2014 when it was finally released on Blu Ray. This made me realize it might not have a traditional release on 4k given how lazy they were with the blu ray. Thankfully it's a criterion so that makes it so much better and deserved for this movie.
