This isn't a DVD problem, this is a porno problem!

If you buy 100 DVDs without even owning a player.....You might have a DVD problem.

Ooops... I let out my secret. Hello, my name is Chris and I'm a DVDaholic!

About 5 yrs. ago when DVD just started I was in a store and I started buying DVDs and I didn't even have my player yet.

If you buy a portable dvd player so that you can watch them away from home on vacation....you may have a problem.

Actually, I wish'd that I'd done this....after shelling out for the tv, cable, dvd player & a vcr (I bought them all together) I didn't have any movies to watch for a loooong time except Austin Powers: IMOM. That movie does get better after repeat viewings, but you can only watch any movie so many times in a row before it starts getting old.

What does that say about me?


Great list.

I'm batting over 500 there! Here's a few more:

If you have DVDs in your collection that have never been opened . . .

When your wife and kids will no longer watch fullscreen movies (on 2-sided discs my 7-year old daughter asks "Daddy, which side is just half the movie?") . . .

If you stop at Blockbuster and Hollywood video but have never rented a movie from them . . .

If you can't find anything from Columbia House that you haven't already bought . . .

If you turn your nose up when the girl behind the counter says "We've got it in on tape." . . .

If you aren't sure where your VCR went . . .

Thought of two more:

If you view theatrical trailers as teasers for DVD releases 6 months away . . .

If you refer to a trip to Europe as "going to Region 2" . . .

If you are at the movies, and after a scene change you lean over to your friend and say, "That's where they're gonna put the chapter stop."

You hear about a (yet to be released in theaters) movie you think you'll like, and you find out it's from Warner Bros. and you think, "Damn, that'll probably be in a snapper!"

If you spend more time reading and talking about DVD's than you do watching them, than you have a DVD problem.

...you join numerous point reward programs to earn gift certificates to buy DVDs.

...you keep a spreadsheet listing all your unwatched commentaries and features so you'll be sure to watch them all... eventually...

...you break up with your girlfriend and she wants half of your collection.
