On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

A post by Kevin Smith on his Instagram account reads:

We shot DOGMA here 26 years ago, at the Saints Peter and Paul Church in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh! #alanrickman and #georgecarlin (and my Dad) all stood on the steps of this cinematically sacred place back then, whilst they lived. And this year, we’re gonna honor all of ‘em… when we resurrect #Dogma! More info very soon, Parishioners! #KevinSmith #dogmachurch #catholicismwow

If I remember correctly, Smith, has obtained the rights for Dogma recently as they were held personally by Harvey Weinstein as opposed to Miramax. This is why once all the Dogma Blu-rays were sold out, there hasn't been any reprinting. Therefore, the Blu-ray goes for quite high prices on the second hand market.

I wonder if there will be any new retrospective documentaries if it gets a new release? There was a documentary called Judge Not: In Defence Of Dogma which was planned for the US special edition DVD but for legal reasons was not included.

That instead ended up on another US DVD for the film Vulgar, a black comedy written and directed by Kevin Smith's friend Bryan Johnson and staying Brian O'Halloran.

Although it can easily be found on YouTube.

An absolute corker of a movie. Chock full of quotable moments and hilarity. Long live Dogma.

Ha! I'd completely forgotten about that. Smith tends to annouce a lot of stuff. I'm still waiting for Mallrats 2 which was a film, then possibly a TV series. I'm not sure if that's still floating around.

It would be nice to see the original Dogma resurface. The rights are so old, it's not even streaming anywhere.

Your only option is second hand physical media. The DVD should be quite easy to find.

Went and saw Kevin Smith do a stand-up/spoken word set recently. Towards the end he mentioned in addition to a sequel, that Dogma would be getting an Arrow 4K release similar to Mallrats. I haven't seen any official announcements so I guess take that with a grain of salt.

Bro, I still want Hit Somebody even though I know, in my heart of hearts, it's never coming...

There's another option besides second hand physical media.

I think it's on YouTube in 720P. Nope, just checked, I'm sure it used to be. There's just SD copies now. One of them is 4:3!

There's a beautiful 1080p version on my Plex server.

I think the high quality ones came down after he recovered the rights, I also remember there being a high quality video on yt

So stoked for this. The Judge Not documentary is fantastic. May be biased though, my screen name is taken from Vulgar.

I feel like we could use a Buddy Christ right about now.
