Unwatched Movie Pile: September 07

What Is This? Where Am I?

Spun off from an idea I had in the Unwatched DVD Pile thread, I decided to let everyone keep track of how they are coming along with their unwatched stuff along with seeing how everyone else is doing compared to you.

It may shock you to see how much you buy compared to how much you watch.

How Do I Start My Own List?

There are 5 different sections for your post.

Section one will be how many movies you have to watch at the beginning of the month. This won't get updated.

Section two will be your list of movies as you watch them. Update as you watch.

Section three will be for the bad, bad man who forces you to buy new movies even though you can't finish what you have. You could either to a count and change it as you get it, or impress us all with a list instead so we can see that you bought the new Power Rangers movie.

Section four will be your monthly net change. It'll be zero at the first first of each month. It works like this, let's say you watch 3 movies, it just became -3. The next day there's a 20% off sale at DDD, add 40 more so now it's +37.

Section five is your total net change. This one will carry over from the previous month or if you are just starting out, it will be zero. As you watch or buy movies, you will adjust this as well as the monthly net change.

Total Net Change is confusing. Why did you do that and a monthly one?

After the first month, my net for the month was +59. I didn't want to start off a new month with such a high number so I made it so you track both. At least that way I could be even for something and not feel like such a loser.

How Do I Count TV sets or double feature DVDs?

You count them how you would normally count them. It's up for you to decide how you want to do it.

What If I Watch Stuff As I Buy? Can I Still Join?

There's no problem if you want to keep track of what you do.

This is sad--a couple weekends ago I sorted DVDPro by 'run time" to pick one of the shortest things to watch, just so I could check something off. Turned out to pick Galaxy Quest, which I had seen before as a rental but it had been a while; enjoyed it again.

I hit a movie like that. I'd guess about 15 years ago I rented some 70s horror movie from Hollywood Video or Blockbuster. I remember looking for it maybe a year later but couldn't remember which place I rented it, nor could I remember the name or what the case looked like.

I few months back, one of the movies I started to watch was that same one. I figured I've owned it for about 2 years before finally watching it and I had no idea it was the same movie when I got it.

And don't ask me the name now because I still don't remember, but I think it starts with a 'B'.

A little disappointed to fall behind by such a large amount, guess I hang around the bargains forum a bit too much. I do feel good that I've spent much of my viewing time on some box sets, finishing 3 tv show seasons and the Cardinals 2006 World Series collection. I'm confident I'll make up some ground next month, especially trying to tackle the Horror Movie Challenge.

I fell behind on updating last month (and sold some titles, along with watching and buying new titles), so I'll start this month off from scratch.

Still keeping it negative...

I was just curious, are people counting just the movies they've never seen or just each dvd until they watch the disc, whether they had seen the movie before or not? I'm only counting completely unwatched movies myself. If was counting every disc I had bought but hadn't gotten around to watching, I'd probably have another couple hundred to my list. Oy vey. I was just curious how others wre going about it.
