Dead Thread Risin'.

This weeks additions:

Running Scared
Underworld: Evolution
Fast and the Furious: Franchise Collection
Dazed and Confused: Criterion Collection

..and of course my new home theatre components. So, needless to say, I'm broke.

New "Platoon" has a HD remaster, 2 new documentaries, 12 deleted scenes, and a DTS track though, in addition to the specs from the 5 year old SE.

BTW, both "Transformers: The Movie" and "This Island Earth" are getting re-releases in a couple of months. Specs are iffy, but if you couldn't afford the originals, now's the time. I dumped mine already in anticipation.

So the big question is when are you going to upgrade your collection to Blu-Ray?

 

Seriously though, is that SW display full of movies? 

A lot of what I have won't be upgraded, but should I get a HD-DVD player down the road, certain titles are a must, namely Sci Fi.

That indeed is Episodes 1-6 in that DVD display. Nabbed it from work. Six spots, six movies, no brainer.

Nice looking collection Cory!

Thank you, sir. I dig your arch rack, BTW. Never seen anything like it before! I updated my photo above. Better lighting, slightly higher rez, and no scrollbar.

I imagined your collection would be a lot bigger Cory.  Very nice.

Thanks! If I were to have kept all the movies I've had over time, I wouldn't have room for them all. I prune my collection so often, it's not even funny. A lot of times I feel like I have to sell something I own to justify buying anything new, even though I make sizable profits off of the discs I purchase for re-selling.

Working at Hollywood, I rent free of course, so on top of being able to scout potential additions, I also have the freedom to sell off movies I like moderately, would watch again, but wouldn't watch alot, and just rent them whenever. The thing is, what I own, there's a good 1/4 that aren't available for rental, so I just hang on to them.

Back to the whole categorization, this is what I've got in place right now. Just empty amaray cases from work splitting up genres.



I sold 1/2 of my Disney collection the other day, as well as my copy of "This Island Earth" to get a new DVD player (Sony DVP NS75H), and my next project is probably going to be some shelves from IKEA here in Bloomington.

There's been a lot of moving and shaking my collection as of late.

Got that Boondock Saints metalbook. Also picked up Wrestlemania 22 at Wal Mart, just because they were offering "Rey Mysterio: 619" as the bonus disc. Price matched it with CC for $14.99, then took the $5 coupon from the "See No Evil" promo disc from BB, and got WM22 and the bonus disc for $9.99

PS2's aren't designed to double as DVD players.

Then why do they play DVD's?

I thought it was fairly obvious that by what I said, it was implied they weren't designed to be EVERYDAY USE DVD PLAYERS, but I guess not, so here;

PS2's aren't designed to double as everyday use DVD players.

Clarification complete.
