Ah I didn't realize that. This is a bummer, for me, who may be the last person on this board not to be 4k yet? It may indeed finally be time.

I’m not and will never be, so you’ll never be the last

I'm not either. I'll buy the dual format if the price difference isn't too great in an effort at future-proofing, but lack of dual format doesn't keep me from picking up the blu-only versions of titles I love (or even those I don't -- Wild at Heart isn't anywhere close to my favorite Lynch).

Just announced: a UHD-only Complete Michel Deville box

I'm hoping it means we're getting a Kobayashi (60s?) box (Radical Japan?) eventually. BAMPFA has a Kobayashi series coming this fall. Unfortunately Kwadan is the only one with a 4k restoration.

I haven’t either. Can’t say I never will, but it doesn’t interest me at all. The only release that’s been a problem is that 4k only Amadeus. Worried they might do the same with The Devils
