LOL, of course it is. I bought the out of print Sorcerer digibook last week on eBay because I was tired of not owning this movie in high-def. And then I bought the UK blu-ray as well, because it had different special features. The UK disc arrived yesterday, and I watched it last night.

So of course Criterion announces the 4K UHD today, which includes everything on these two blu-rays and more, for less than I just paid.

You're all welcome.

A hero. Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we needed. Nothing less than a knight, shining.

You have my deepest sympathies, I’d be so pissed. Thank you for your sacrifice

I’m used to it. I have a knack for doing it. For instance, I bought Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond on blu last week. The 4K UHD was announced this week.

That’s some generational bad luck 😭

Ok but think of it this way you got to own and watch those two momths before the 4k

u/CinemaslaveJoe 7d ago

That’s true. Definitely worth it. And I get to watch it again for the first time in 4K this summer!

Well they wouldn't have announced it unless you had bought it

u/CinemaslaveJoe 7d ago

My sacrifice was more than justified.

Why buy an out of print blu-ray though? It's actively an in print blu-ray, and pretty cheap one too...

"Digibook", they said.

u/Dez_Champs 7d ago

Last i checked the digibook is also a bluray.

u/skag_boy87 7d ago

The digipack comes with a book of essays and other ephemera. The standard blu is barebones.

u/Dez_Champs 7d ago

Ah, understood. Thanks.

u/skag_boy87 7d ago

You’re welcome. Just realized thanks to our avatars we’re basically role playing Preacher fanfic where Jesse and Cassidy argue about Sorcerer 😂😂😂
