114. Criterion rereleases 'Salo' (nuff said)

115. Ever relocated because you had to decide between DVD storage and furniture.

116. Your children included drawings of your DVD collection in their homemade Father's Day cards.

Whoops. Thanks for pointing that out (I was looking at the post above and 98 became stuck in my head)...

Ok I was just thinking of changing my growing Criterion collection to by Spine number..it is already seperated :). Seems like that might be better way to go to keep track vs alphabetical?

sorry...i have a few here....


117 You update DVDProfiler on a weekly basis (ok - it could be daily depending on your habit !!)

118 When entering barcodes into DVD Profiler - you already know the first few numbers dependant on the distributor...... MGM.... 27616 ..... Paramount....9736.....

119 Any loans (LOL - someone loaning my dvds... in their dreams) must be checked out / written down and returned promptly (now... who has that copy of .... ?)

120 Tin Cases must be 'displayed' seperate from the rest of the collection - even if the movie was crap (see Region 4 Tin Cases.... yep .... I go the Aeon Flux one .. but it was only $10 !!)

121 You spent 'WHAT' on that ugly Planet of The Apes head ????

122 TV Seasons NEVER come in the same box size with Season 2 (See Six Feet Under / The Munsters !)

123 If its a TV Show from Universal - get ready for two sided DVD18s that stuff up !!!

124 Yes - I own all three different sets of the LORD OF THE RINGS - just in case I've missed something .... either from the film or a special feature

125 I don't buy Sony or Fox DVDs on their first release - as I definitely know that they will come out another 3 times.

126 That section which contains LEONARD PART 6 and ISHTAR is my FAVOURITES section (to think it cost them hundreds of millions of $$$ and I got it for less than $10 !!) Now where is Howard the Duck ???

127 A HOLOGRAPHIC cover is a 'cheap and nasty' way to get me to buy the title on its initial release (when its at its dearest as well !!)

:lol: That's good.

You own a region free player just to own certain movies in anamorphic widescreen or dts, when not offered in america (guily cause i own the region 3 version of "casino royale" for the dts track, and the region 4 version of sudden death for annamorphic widescreen

128. You see your UPS delivery man more often than your girlfriend. (Let's face it. This list is for guys).

:lol: I had a choice between the UPS guy or my girlfriend, Guess which one I choose?
Just kidding-I've never had a girlfriend because I collect to many DVDs and if she touched them I would probally have a huge bitchfest.

It's funny because it's true.

I've done this, lots of times even!

and for the truly anal folks: after you search through the entire stock of a particular movie looking for a possible misprice, you then give it the tried and true shake test, if said copy passes this test you then meticulously inspect the placement of the security stickers in relation to the cover art only to find that the one and only copy that passes every other test fails this because those stupid security stickers are stuck right to the cover art which you just know is going to ruin the whole damn cover when peeled off no matter how hard you try otherwise and end up leaving the store sad and empty handed.

Go to local dvd shop to buy somthing to add to your collection, find nothing intresting. Instead go and come back later, Off course you buy some shit because you had to buy dvd.

131. You remove that "black magnetic thing" whenever it's possible to do so without damage to the case.

132 You get divorced and now there is no one to restrain your dvd passion from growing like a virus at geometrical rate. You smile devilishly at all the "Open Space"
you now have in your home.

133. Your 16, and when release day comes, you leave your Dad a note with some money, stating:
"Your mission, should you choose to accept it..."

And then you state the price, the edition, and repeatedly write WIDESCREEN in large letters in case he forgets...all because he works near a Best Buy.

Great thread indeed! It's scary to me how many of these actually apply to myself. I knew I was an avid collector, but it just looks bad when you write it all down like that.

134. Looking at discs at the store, you see several that you already have at home but have never watched, and think you ought to get around to them soon.

135. Buy the sequels, doesnt matter if it sucks you must have the series.

:lol: I'm older than 16 (way older) but sometimes when I have to work overtime thur tuesday morning (work nights) my Grandma picks my DVDs cause shes one hell of a nice person & what I do is print out a sheet with the name of the title, picture of it & in big fuckin' bold letter type WIDESCREEN so she doesn't get messed up when she gets there.
Unlike some people, the odd time when I did get a FULL SCREEN DVD I didn't have a huge freak out because when my GMa gets the DVDs she refuses to accept money from me & I end up getting the DVDs for free! -so I ain't complaining.
Of course when I go the next week to pick up the DVDs for myself I usually end up getting a few DVDs for her to watch together. We just keep all the DVDs in the same place cause it's my collection technically but alot of the DVDs I buy are for both of us to enjoy.

136. Owning nearly every Region 1 release that is worth having(don't laugh-you know who you are)-You begin collecting other Region Dvds-including special "Limited" packaging editions from Korea,4 dvd sets(even though supplements are in another language you do not understand),
the Japan special edition with a "sliver of extra footage, Region 2 editions with a better transfer. It is all good you say as you admire your 4 different editions of "Riddick".

137. You take the insert from your previous out dated DVD and put it in your new upgarded edition that never has an insert.

Does anyone else see the strange 'egg guy' from clerks when you read these???

119a Anyone borrowing DVD's from me has to sign and abide by a 20 page agreement filed with rules and regulations.
