Tenzor, you can find him on eBay for about $50. Gentle Giant created some other maquettes from the Clone Wars cartoon and they have a few more coming out later this year. You can find out about them on their website: http://www.gentlegiantltd.com/catalog/?id=WEB6061

Throw in some buttery popcorn, sticky floors, and random cell phones/babies going off in the background and you got yourself a genuine full blown theater. Sweet stuff.

Sitting here intoxicated and having a laugh.

i just noticed that from the beginning of the thread.

i do the same thing.
but i also put clear cellophane scotch tape around the edge of the oening to keep the plastic wrap from tearing.

Third Baseman

I can't even afford alcohol.

Awesome. Nothing like a dedicated set up. Do you have pics of the gear and media storage?

This is my final version of the floating DVD project. I tried string, sticking the dvd to the walls using putty, velcro, and finally just used clear plexiglass to create 'invisible' shelves.

and that's my tv, where i "enjoy" my dvds

R2 discs get all the cool covers...

for examples... Natural Born Killers, Reservoir Dogs, Back To The Future, Leon & Saw.

tad|pk

except of back to the future, the other releases you mentioned were released by independant labels, thats why they differ from rc1 or uk releases
since you mentioned saw
i recommend it, because its the best release worldwide with 3 discs (dc, theatrical version, ost)
this version is like a book
i read that the director's cut is still to be released in the us, am i right
i took 2 photos, maybe you're interested:



get that dvd

I'm not trying to be rude, because my question comes from major jealousy issues, but I don't really understand how people can collect so many movies.

I am nearing 100 right now and have been buying since Fight Club came out (is that five years?). I watch movies constantly, I love them beyond belief, but I just don't feel the need to own everything that comes out. I'll watch anything at least once, but I am soooooo particular about what I will commit my money to.

So, does it get to the point where you can think of nothing else except for all of tuesday's releases? Or is the point to build a collection that simply looks good and daunting to other people? Or do you just get caught up in the moment without thinking "do I really need another edition of Black Hawk Down?"

Again, I'm not trying to be an ass. I am honestly curious. But at what point do you think, maybe 3,000 is enough? Or when do you realize that maybe you don't need to purchase a copy of The Girl Next Door? Just seems with this many discs, the fun of picking and choosing has taken a back seat. The fun of buying the movies that you just love is completely gone.

Some honest replies would be great, but I will understand if some people can't think level headed and bash me for not having a big enough collection.

Where can I get some poster frames like the ones above? I would like some cheap ones for my dorm room because I got Sin City, War of the Worlds, Halloween, and Goodfellas posters.

This may not be the right place for this, but I'll go ahead and answer anyways.

Some people (like myself) build their collection as a library. I may only watch some of my discs every 5 years, but it's comforting knowing that anytime I want to watch it, it's there. Also, the cost of a dvd is equal to or less than taking the family to the theatre.

So, I say, buy what you like, as long as you enjoy it. Some people's tastes are more varied, and therefore they'll have a much smaller collection, whereas some people are huge fans of cinema in general, and will have large libraries. I've got 1300+ titles, and my wishlist is probably still in the 1000-2000 range between me and my wife, so I don't see the dvds coming into the household slowing down anytime soon.

Hey. I do need that home copy. I feel much more confortable watching this movie at home.

gutwrencher

Then Jesus Christ man....do a fucking search. There are TONS of threads and posts dealing with these same silly questions. I've answered the same for years....but it now bores me.

atari2600

i agree. i know many here collect for the sake of collecting. i collect for the sake of getting what i really like. i am picky and thats why i like my modest (~120 or so) collection. i know some here have 2000, 3000, 5000 or more which is fine...not my money

but i have a hard time believing that some people can love or like nearly EVERY MOVIE. its all about opinion and i guess its good that people buy many dvds...helps the business and ensures that they will keep pumping them out.
