So, I decided the other day that I really like the Guzzlefish stats. I find them very interesting and was curious to see if people would be amenable to sharing the stats from their Guzzlefish collections in a thread. I thought it would be much easier than going through all of the posts and clicking on all of those sig links and a little more informative than the all of the "I have 32,378 DVD's" posts.

Anyway, here's mine . . . join in if you wish . . . make any comments (justifications? ) to your stats where you'd like.

The thing that I don't like about Guzzlefish is that if a boxset is submitted, the director is only attributed to one film. Example: Steven Spielberg only gets one directing credit for the Indiana Jones Boxset. I'm okay with the whole boxset counting as just one entry (makes sense), but there should be some way to separate the directors/actors/writers of each individual film within the boxset. Other than that, Guzzlefish is great!

I like seeing everyone's stats....but I find Guzz stats are way off. I tried once...just for kicks. they wanted many obscure horror titles to be filed under "general interest". this would throw my stats way off. last I checked...there is no way to alter genre titles yerself. the format of genres they have....clashes with mine.

It's not as updated as my Aficionado one, but it's pretty close.

The odd is I think Luis Guzman will remain near the top of my favorite actors as i complete my collection of Paul Thomas Anderson films. Whats scary is, when I'm out buying dvds I'm thinking about how this will affect my Stats while standing in line!

Observations so far . . .

1) A with the number of people who have Ben Affleck as the top (or close to the top) actor, it seems that many of us have an affinity for Kevin Smith, Armaggedon (hopefully the CC version), Pearl Harbor, and, maybe, Good Will Hunting, as well (hopefully nobody owns School Ties yet, because it's only a bare bones release ).

2) I'm a little frightened that Erik68's top actor is "Rock". Is that "The Rock"?

3) Yakuza Bengoshi has a fantastic stockpile of the Criterion Collection's, but it is, unfortunately, outweighed by an unhealthy appreciation of William Shatner's acting skills.

Thanks for "playing along" everyone . . . this has been really interesting so far.
