I've been waiting for a disc release of this movie for more than 20 years, only when it was finally released on disc for the first time ever, in 2018, I didn't want it already, because it was precisely just a DVD, a single-layer barebones DVD5 - while it's been two new formats by then, 12 years since BD, and 2 since UHD. So I just downloaded a 1080p digital copy, as there's no BD still.
It looks good, about the same quality as an average early HD DVD or Blu-ray.
But I'm just glad to have this Richard Linklater movie about my 90's generation in good quality. I was about the same age as its characters in 1996, and it's fun to return to that time, if only for a couple of hours, like hanging out with old friends. Parker Posey shows up on 39th minute, and is perfect, as always.
The movie is basically a filmed play, all taking place at one location almost in real time, and it is based on a play. It's like if someone took Jay and Silent Bob standing near a convenience store, and made a full 2 hour movie out of it. But it's good, if you like those sorts of character driven dialogue films, like Dazed and Confused.
I wish this film would get a special edition with a commentary and a retrospective documentary with interviews.
