I was pleasantly surprised when I found out this film was based on one of my favorite Hong Kong flicks Infernal Affairs. Highly recommended if you have not see it yet. Criterion has a nice set for it that can be had for a relatively decent price.

Criterion's 50% flash sale should be coming up soon, too, I think.

I appreciate that my friend I'll keep an eye out for that.

No problem! Should be this month or sometime in March based on historical offerings. Always a good time to stock up!

Pre-order is live on Amazon!

The film is a masterpiece, obviously, but I'm not sure about going for the full 4K upgrade unless there was some sort of premium release. It is Warner Bros., but they've never done premium with "The Departed". I'll keep on the lookout.

 

This steelbook is still really cool. I particularly like the back cover art giving the middle finger to Kevin Smith.

I'm excited for the 4K upgrade, but yeah I'm going to hold out hope for a premium release too

Never been a premium release?  I'm kind of surprised honestly. I'm getting in on this because I don't have a physical copy so no worries of double dipping.......for now.

How is that a middle finger to Kevin Smith?

Because he was notoriously butthurt about the rat at the end of "The Departed" and worked that into a whole monologue at the climax of "Clerks III". Come on, man, it's a movie forum. You're not supposed to ask about people's obscure references.

[MikeH5856]

I didn’t get the Kevin Smith thing, either, since I haven’t watched Clerks 3 yet. That said, I’d love to see DOGMA finally be able to get its due with a stacked 4K release. I’d love to see what Arrow or Vinegar Syndrome could do with this film. It’s a damn shame it’s stuck languishing in Weinstein’s vault.

That’s what I get for not having seen Clerks 3.  Was pretty smart, naming the movie after the number of people who were going to see it.

 

(Kidding, I mostly like Smith, second Mike in wishing for a Dogma release)

Just pre-ordered on Amazon. Really excited for this one! Praying WB doesn't stuff up the 4k transfer (hopefully Scoresese has had direct involvement here)

Nearly a week early from GRUV! It's matte crap though. 🤪

Yeah, I ordered it too but was never thrilled with the look even before I knew it was matte.  I just hope the movie looks good, makes the upgrade worthwhile.
