I bought the first five seasons of Stargate SG1 before the big boxes went OOP. So the remaining five seasons (see: #29) will be thin. At least I got a little lucky with them being half and half.

Part 2 is not that bad,3 and 4 are crap.

Are you talking about Jaws? I agree, although 3 was goofy fun the last time I watched it, I had zero expectations of quality drama and just enjoyed the cheese.

I thought I was alone!!!! You know me so well.!!! sigh

41. You have to decide between food and DVDs. You pick DVDs of course. You can't watch food - well, you can but it doesn't do anything.

42. Before you go to bed you say good night to your DVD collection.

So true. So true.

I have done that several times.

Similiar to 41,

43. You go out to eat and afterwords all you think is "I could have bought 2 dvd's for that"

LOL!

43 a.Everything I don't want to pay has the currency of "X amount of DVDs"...I had to pay a $25 parking ticket (I said I could have bought the three packs of lethal weapon and beverly hills cop)

this is hilarious.

Here's one I recall there being a thread on so I know I'm not the only one guilty of it:

44. Whenever applicable in opening dvds, uses a precision knife to cut only what is necessary, allowing the contents to slip out of the sleeve or slipcover while preserving the shrinkwrap in most of its protective glory.

I guess my contribution would be 24a: The collector will check the DVD's ratio at least three times to be certain that it is the OAR. Ya never know when it might just change itself on you.

Yes it is hilarious!! I care not admit how many are true.

Though, you beat me my ritual out.

45. You're so concerned about ripping/damaging the plastic lining on an amaray case, that you've finally learned that:

1) slice through the security sticker completely
2) open the case
3) carefully remove by peeling security sticker (now in halves) really gently
4) for those really sticky ones, use the sticky side of another removed half to aid in peeling off

I may not be explaining that well, but some of you know ..





.. admit it!!?

Peeling off security stickers is sort of an art form

I'm guilty of the following:

1. But never bought an OOP dvd (or any dvd) from ebay...just happened to finally cave in and buy a dvd only to have the Uber Edition show up soon after.

6. I don't examine ALL cases, but I'll look at like three of them and take the best of the three. If they all look kind of f'd, I'll look at more of them.

10. I no longer buy snapper cases, I'm not a fan of double sided disks (especially since I started putting most of my dvds in "notebooks"), etc., but I don't have a vendetta against any of it per se.

12. Guilty of not buying because of incorrect OAR all the time. Note: #24 is redundant to this entry.

14. I don't shake the dvds, just turn 'em upside down and back to hear if it's loose.

19. Have purchased the same one on at least 3 different occasions (and 3 different movies I should add).

22. Have run out of space enough times to begin putting the majority of my collection said folder/wallet things.

30. Terminator 2, Memento, and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head.

33. Damn you Penn & Teller's Bullshit Season 2! The only one not in slimcase.

45. Used to do it all the time, but now I usually just leave the sticker on because I'm probably going to put the disk into the folder/wallet. However, I do keep the double-siders in their cases, and ones with really nice/different box like the Vista Series ones and TV shows.

Nahhh....like a band-aid, one motion. RIGHT OFF! and then you proceed to remove any remaining residue.

46. Bought Star Trek V because having a missing number between IV and VI just seemed wrong.

^^^ I have managed to not succumb to #46. I will remain strong. Fear is the mind killer.

47. You have 1500 DVDs, and they are all arranged in EXACT alphabetical order.

48. If one of your DVDs has been borrowed, you can figure out the title by looking to the left and right of the empty space on the shelf

The Sting... empty space on shelf... Streetcar Named Desire

Ahhh, someone must have borrowed The Straight Story!

49. You double-dipped on a title to a version that is far superior in almost every way - but you're keeping the crappy earlier release ONLY because it includes the original theatrical trailer.

I do this one. And maybe you can help me with the below far right list.

So true.
& sometimes depending on how long you haven't eaten anything, when you say good night to the DVDs they say good night back!

GET OUT NOW!

50. You get defensive about your hobby and have over time developed a patt response to people who question why you hae so many DVDs.

51. There are movies you would kill to have on dvd in your collection.

52. If a #51 is announced for release you get so excited you pee your pants.

53. After you actually own a #51 it ain't such a big deal anymore.

54. You can't decide between the single dvd-18 or two disc dvd-9 edition of Terminator 2 SE, so you buy both. You're afraid the dvd-18 may eventually fail.

Yes, I did this.

55. Occasionally you decide to trim down your collection, you end up with 5 dvds out of 1000, and even though you can get more for them than you paid, you've never watched them and you probably will never watch them, you decide it's not worth it to give them up.

56. The only time you ever sell an item, is when you know you can get a premium for it, buy it back cheaper at a later date, and use the profit to buy more DVDs.

Before every buy I do this. I've got my wife doing it now too. Fry's had a stack of 10 Bruce Almighty HD DVD's yesterday and I went through 8 to get one without a loose disc!
