Well, that was a productive use of a couple of hours of my Friday night.
Look upon my works ye socially adequate and despair.
Best guess, that’s the better part of 300 DVDs and 500 or so hours sitting there. We’re only including feature films not TV series, standup sets or music DVDs. There is still some debate as to whether we should be watching every DVD in the house (and subjecting ourselves to Blue Man III’s petrol-station bargain-bucket action/light horror collection, or Ms. Blue Man’s diabolical taste in romcoms) or just the stuff that either Mrs. Blue Man or myself voluntarily bought.
Number Of DVDs Still Shrinkwrapped: 6 (Anvil! The Story Of Anvil, Cruel Intentions, KIll Bill vol. 1, Kill Bill vol. 2, Terminator 2, Velvet Goldmine)
Number Of DVDs That I Know We Own That Have Mysteriously Gone Walkabout: 5 (28 Weeks Later, Almost Famous: Untitled Edition, Batman Begins, Bulletproof Monk, Pirates Of The Caribbean)
Number Of DVDs That I Had No Idea We Owned: 2 (Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End, Underworld: Rise Of The Lychans)
Number Of Films That We Own At Least Two Copies Of: 11 (A Matter Of Life And Death, Blade Runner, The Longest Yard, Mission Impossible 2, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, True Romance, Goodfellas, Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers, Return Of The King)
DVD That I’m Most Embarassed To Admit Owning: Dead heat between Bring It On and Basic Instinct 2.
Well, that’s your next 6 months blog sorted right there!
All you need is a massive bin liner and a mahoosive bag O Snacks, and you too could play “random film bonanza!”
Put all the DVD’s in a bin liner. Pick a film at random and watch it. If it’s in your house, then you MUST have wanted to see it one day, so force yourself through whatever you pick out. Review it. Sit back and bask in the glory in the praise of your insight.
Afterwards, you could flog any DVD’s you don’t want to keep anymore on eBay and buy something awesome.
I personally would love to hear you START with the Bargain Bucket of horror, but only because I’m curious about what that would actually contain!
Good luck…
Whoever took your copy of ‘Bulletproof Monk’ did it as a kindness, mate…
I’m with the “bloody big bin liner” thing.
