The Unwatched Media Pile Thread: January 2025 (Resolve to Watch Your Stuff!)
Are you still working your way through the 4K discs purchased during the holidays...from 3 years ago? Do you have a pile of BDs that remain unwatched? A shelf of DVDs you've yet to see? Or would you admit to owning a box of dust-covered VHS tapes that you never got around to checking out? Maybe you've gone digital but have content you've bought, yet never started. If the answer to any of these questions is yes (and of course that's the case), then this thread is the place for you. It's a support group spot where you can track your progress in trying to eliminate those unwatched films or television shows in your collection.
Here's the instructions, courtesy of the former Mister Peepers, (now known as The Man with the Golden Doujinshi), who chaired these unwatched threads for several years:
That's all there is to it. Mister Peepers also created an optional checklist, providing folks with a creative approach to tackling the unwatched pile:
And should you want to go back and check your progress from a previous month..
Now what are you waiting for? Get to watchin'!

Re: The Unwatched Media Pile Thread: January 2025 (Resolve to Watch Your Stuff!)
New Year, I guess I'll try again!
Some larger sets (like Godzilla and the Olympics) are broken down into more watchable pieces, because progress is nice!
DVDs/BDs to Watch at start of month :: 131
-Movies: 66
-TV "Seasons": 65
Goals for 2024
1. Watch every movie I currently own.
2. Watch more than I get/buy each month.
3. Watch something off TV list every month.
4. Watch one from disk from Godzilla and 2 from the Olympics set each month, that will just about finish those bad boys, but by spreading them out I'll enjoy them more.
5. Finish the year under 100 unwatched.
6. Watch at least one other movie each month (non-Godzilla).
7. Keep not buying new movies even if tempted!
Movies to Watch:
TV Seasons/Sets to watch:
Movies Watched: 0
TV Seasons Watched: : 0
TV Seasons In Progress:
1. Aaahh!!!! Real Monsters (something I won a long time ago at DVDTalk and never watched).
