DVD Tuesday

Yah so what, that was yesterday but I wanted to spill my guts on DVD's. So as I was saying, DVD Tuesday is my favourite day of the week. The day when new movies are released on DVD. The best part are the special features, I always try to buy the best version of a film. I love to get up early almost every Tuesday ( the only day I do get up early). The days that I don't get up early are the days when something is released that I don't need to have when the stores open but I end up picking up by the middle of the afternonn. I love the anticipation the night before, then going to different stores to find who has it and who doesn't and for the cheapest prices. I find that it doesn't take a lot for me to be happy in life, and the smallest things do it for me. It really pisses me off that b/c I live in a smaller town than say Vancouver that sometimes the stores don't get a copy of a movie on the day or that they don't have it the shelves when the door opens. Its the only thing in life that really makes me mad, but I get over it fast. I'm always reminded of the Future shop commercial when two guy are waiting outside the store to open then they run into the store to get the same movie and one guy pushes the other guy out of the way. It always makes me laugh.

If you have read this far then you might think that I'm obsessed or addicted. And yes you are right, I'm addicted. But I figure its a safe addiction. It doesn't hurt anyone, except my bank account, but hey I got a awesome paying second job to support my habit and I'm left with a killer movie library. So you may be wondering how many movies I own or you may not but I going to tell you anyway, my last count was around 776. If you would like to see what I have go to http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Dr.%20G . It is this really cool program that you can download called DVD profiler, it allows you to enter you DVD's into a database. So what kind of movies do I watch? I watch anything and everything, old Hollywood, action, comedy, horror, chick flicks, western, drama, cartoons, but I would say Horror is my favourite.

This Tuesday I bought Four Brothers, and Must Love Dogs. I also received my first online order from amazon, where I got Popcorn, The substitute, mischief, and F/X 2. These movies are some of the last back log movies I've been looking for over the last few years that even I was unable to find in big cites like Vancouver and Edmonton. I think I've been buying DVD's since late 1999. Recently a friends of mine wanted to find out how much money I have invested in DVD's. Since not everything I buy is new we times my total by about $15, and I have spent about 12 thousand dollars. Holy shit just imagine if I had that just in cash. So that's pretty much all I have to say about the subject so far, but I expect I will talk about it again in the future.
