I hope Paramount at least reissues ALL of the OOP titles. Not getting this on blu would suck.

If they do, or if I can come across the Criterion blu-ray, I'll grab it for sure. Just want the film. I really don't enjoy watching DVDs that much anymore, but I'll take it over poor streaming quality any day.

Available on BN.com and at least a dozen B&N stores in NC -- not sure which part of the state you're in. If you aren't close to a store and don't mind paying $40 of course, you could call a store with shelf stock and see if they'll ship it to you. I've had pretty good luck with that -- just call at a slower time of the day b/c it can take a few minutes extra. Not every store will do it, but most will

I am in High Point, NC. My closest in Winston Salem (because Greensboro, NC doesn't carry physical media) is OOS. I am considering that price and ditching my order of the DVD. Thank you for pointing it out to me!!

That's funny, since streaming in most places is far better than a DVD. You only had 8 years to "grab it," so what's 8 more?

I wasn't aware of the film until about 6 months ago and just so you know I only started collecting at the end of 2018. Had I expected this I would have purchased it before now.

That's probably what their goal is. I already own the Criterion and Masters of Cinema discs but I'll most likely pick up a theoretical Paramount Blu since it's one of my favorite films.

I wouldn't say that's likely, especially for this title...but I would be happy to be surprised. Certain things like this just might pop up over on Paramount+.

Saw this at grad film school myself...otherwise I probably also would have never really been introduced to it. Glad I was, and I picked this up years ago because of that connection.
