Mine's the one at the bottom of the page.
That's a lot of anime... I've just never really found buying movies (or TV shows on DVD) worth the money most of the time, unless it's something I really want to be able to re-watch... but otherwise... it's a lot of money for something I'm just going to watch once. That isn't something worth purchasing. Rental, watch on TV, etc, whatever... for many things those are better options.

Buying old videogames makes a lot more sense... :D

I've heard this mentality before. I must be different, because if a movie's good enough, I can watch it multiple times without getting bored, especially if I can catch stuff I missed before. Even just studying the editing and camera work are interesting to me.

That's a lot of stuff. I have a lot of movies, games, and sports memorabila, but I don't come close to that. And I use the Oxford comma too!
Hurray for Oxford comma!
That's quite a collection, but am saddened to see your lit up N64 sign wasn't in the pictures. I was made to understand that is your pride and joy :(
That's not something that I want just anyone to see!

I got the Lord of the Rings trilogy extended edition boxed set for christmas the year before last... I still haven't gotten around to watching the extended version of Return of the King, if I remember correctly (or maybe I just haven't watched any of the extras from the third set? I forget...). And I've only watched one commentary track for each of the first two films. So even for the few I do own, of movies I love, I don't always watch everything...

I got the Revenge of the Sith DVD and then didn't even watch it once for months, and only watched it once (the one time I watched the DVD) because some other people wanted to see it so we watched it together!

I don't think I've watched the RotS extras, though I'm not certain...
I, on the other hand, watch DVDs nearly everyday, so I like to have a nice selection to give me something to fit whatever mood I might be in.
I bought a bunch of movies recently (about 6?) but I've only watched one of them recently. The others have impressed me enough to know that I'll want to watch them again at some point.

Sometimes I'll like a movie so much that I'll watch it a few times in a short span of time (say a week?). The last movie that did that for me was Harold and Maude.

Sorry to derail. Have you no sense of proprietry, Eden? Johnny-boy has shown us parts that he will not show to the rest of the world. Wait. :Gonk:

Impressive collection, anyway. How long did it take you accumulate all those movies? You should post pictures directly so I can be lazy and not go to that site every time. I promise you, your little nerd-nest is not interesting enough for us to click it a sufficient amount of times to be bandwidth leeches. :D

My DVD collection has taken roughly 6-7 years to amass.
A full set of pictures of my game collection would be somewhat impressive, I think... I don't have any though.
