I’ve hinted at it and mentioned it a few times before, but I had a DVD-buying problem for about three or four years between 2005 and around 2008. I don’t know how to explain it. I wanted every good movie ever made. I wanted to own them. Maybe part of me thought that in the future, I will draw a comic strip based around movies, so this will all be my research.<\/p>\n
That certainly was a dumb idea.<\/p>\n
I never counted how many DVD’s I owned, but I’d estimate it was near or over 300. Sure, that’s not a record, but who needs to own that many movies? I would buy them five or six at a time on sale at Best Buy. It wasn’t until I looked at my DVD shelf and noticed that I had roughly 40 or 50 still unopened in their original packaging that I decided to pare down.<\/p>\n
So I sold almost all of them expect for the choice 25 or so that I really like. These include the Lord of The Rings<\/span> Trilogy, Kill Bill<\/span>, Casablanca<\/span>, Almost Famous<\/span>, etc. I felt really good about my collection.<\/p>\n Until DVD’s started phasing out as Blu-Ray has come. I really like HD movies, and I told myself I wouldn’t try to own every movie this time around, but rather replace my DVD’s with their Blu-Ray counterpart. The trouble is, most of my all-time favorites aren’t on Blu-Ray yet.<\/p>\n IGN posted this article<\/a><\/strong> the other day listing all the good movies not yet on Blu-Ray. Look at this list! Citizen Kane<\/span>, The Incredibles<\/span>, The Indiana Jones Trilogy<\/span>, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly<\/span>, Pulp Fiction<\/span>, and The Star Wars Trilogy<\/span>! It’s like Blu-Ray makers took a look at my DVD shelf and decided, “Nope, can’t make any of these.” That list doesn’t mention it, but The Lord of The Ring<\/span>s extended editions are still missing from Blu-Ray as well.<\/p>\n I don’t understand this. These are awesome movies. Put them out, and I will buy them. I’m a movie addict, and you’re missing out on the action I could bring. You could put out all the crappy movies you want thinking I’m going to buy them just to utilize my Blu-Ray player, but the\u00a0joke’s on you!<\/p>\n I’m not even buying a Blu-Ray player until these movies are available (or until PS3’s aren’t back-ordered anymore.) So bring on the good Blu-Rays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve hinted at it and mentioned it a few times before, but I had a DVD-buying problem for about three or four years between 2005 and around 2008.
