Zee obligatory dvd collection update

I like movies

quite a bit

this leads me to compulsively buy dvds

and I'm starting to get a pretty darn respectable collection
enough that a while back I got some neat software to manage it all
not that I keep it remotely updated as I should
but still its neat stuff

It lets me search by nearly any field I could desire
and even runs little reports that for example
tell me that my collection has 101 drama flicks
or that Warner Bros, is by far the dominant studio
pretty much it does everything my little heart could desire

recently [as in the past couple of months] I've acquired the following flicks:

2 days in the valley
Along Came a Spider
American Pie 2 (sucked but I have the other two)
Bandits
Bend it like Beckham
The Breakfast Club
Bringing Down the House
The Brothers McMullen
Bull Durham
Catch Me if You Can
The Cooler
Desperado
Double Jeopardy
Ferris Buellers Day Off
A Fish called Wanda
Grosse Pointe Blank
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Heist
Insomnia
Italian Job
Kate & Leopald
Knockaround Guys
The Last of the Mohicans
The Last Samurai
Leap of Faith
Matchstick Men
Mystic River
Paycheck
Reservoir Dogs
Planet of the Apes (remake)
Red Dragon
Red Rock West
Roman Holiday
Run Lola Run
Say Anything
Serendipity
Serpico
Singles
The Stepford Wives (original)
The Story of Us
The Time Machines (remake)
The Weight of Water
We were Soldiers
What Women Want
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Wing Commander
Witness

a few of these were repurchases as my prior copys had magically disappeared along with my copies of:

Big Daddy
Chasing Amy
Murder at 1600
Suicide Kings

you know I think nasty sticky fingered hobbits
wouldnt be nearly as a bad if they had universally bad taste

Big Daddy and Murder at 1600 for example
not great movies but I enjoyed them

but Suicide Kings and Chasing Amy
I am pissed about

fucking bastiches

anyway

you can see the entirity of my dvd collection

I suppose that will have to do
although I can think of many other places
I'd rather have you

*mischeivous grin*

I don't have much patience for movies, but your list is minimally sucky.

yeah, that's neat and all, but can you serve them all up like a jukebox from a central location?

[identity profile] plural.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
heh
I'm actually working on that
in the form of one of those massive dvd jukeboxes

but it will probably be a while seeing as I do not really have an income at the moment

TB raid... Seriously, you could get the VOBs of all those on a TB... then all you'd need is the software to manage it (something I have yet to solve as you likely noticed over christmas).

While I'd love a tb raid, I'm actually suffering a bit for disk space at the moment, it is kind of overkill, not that I didnt think of your solution and consider it but considering I actually own the physical copies of the discs and only have one tv on which I would play them, sticking a dedicated dvd jukebox on top is probably the cheapest and simplest solution.

umm... it just occured to me that my previous two posts my land me in jail, so I deleted them.

[identity profile] plural.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
lol yeah I was gonna mention that

with a minor alteration, you could avoid that however

[identity profile] plural.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
here is a hint
instead of the list you posted
try a list that looks more like mine

[identity profile] budhaboy.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, that occured to me right after I commented.

I'm a little frazzled... can you believe everyone has strep again?

[identity profile] plural.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
nope, thats insane

best luck on a speedy recovery

DVD profiler is da bomb, though I haven't updated in about 2 months...

It's kinda scary when you hit the "500" mark
