Smith says he’s working closely with a “popular physical media distributor” to get a 4K Steel Book version of Dogma ready for a December release. He says the 4K restoration of the comedy that makes some Catholics cringe looks fantastic, and they didn’t change anything about the original presentation.

I've never really understood the whole "steelbook" thing. I want the disc. For all I care it could come in a cardboard CD case.

It’s for collectors, not people that don’t care.

My issue is the movie wasn’t shot in 4k, it didn’t exist. How the hell do they make it 4k. You knew I want. I want Q&A like he did for Clerks, and Mallrats anniversary editions. Both I have one signed. But not one for Chasing Amy nor Dogma. Where are they?

As helpful as that is, I'm interested in collecting films on UHD. I just don't get the steelbook angle.
If the answer is just a Marge Simpson "I just think they're neat" then fair enough. I was just hoping there was something more to it. Perhaps it has an interesting origin story or it's in reference to some historic packaging for a different format that didn't particularly take off.

They look cool. That’s really it for me.

Fair enough! I hoped there was something more to it. I used to have Bioshock in a steelbook but that was purely because it was what a game shop near me had available.
I also don't get the appeal of hardback books so it's probably just me being weird.

For me, its about longevity. My standard 4K sleeves are all fading from the sun, and the steelbooks look Day 1.

Now that is rather interesting. I hadn't considered UV damage (mine live in a shelf with a cover that limits exposure - not intentionally, purely because it's a shelf I rescued from my childhood bedroom!).
