Ahhh CSI is more interlinked than I thought it ever was once I started watching them all :) Normal CSI Vegas for instance has sooo many in jokes to past cases, and past charecters its easy to forget a lot of the little things :) even eposidic shows many times need to be remembered.

I hardly watch any movies at night any more :evil: My mum goes to bed early and the shower makes a noise like a fooking steam engine, thus ruining the movie experience :cry:

Mark: How does your Mum going early to bed stop you from watching DVDs?
Don't you have a player in your living room?


Grim: Yeah, but its R2 only and TBH its really the surround sound she hates.
Mark are you sure this is the right thread for that question?


Mark: Use headphones. Lots of R2 films available.
I don't know how that post ended up in the wrong thread? Must've hit the wrong button or something? Fixed now. You can edit your posts as I've removed mine.

I buy them as they look good on my shelves, and it saves buying wall paper anyway as I dont see the walls anymore.

I've gone from about 650 to 400 DVDs/BDs/HD-DVDs combined. I get around to watching them eventually. I'm hoping to watch Strictly Ballroom tonight. I've had it years.

Many of the 250 DVDs are of films I'd never seen, such is life. There are way more films than time to ever watch them, I'm not missing the loss.

As for GWTW, I need a long afternoon with no interruptions :)

Turn off your computer RIGHT NOW and go watch CHINESE GHOST STORY 2 .There's some mental illness associated with movie fans obsessive compulsiveness and such.if you're a movie you clearly have mental issues.Im speaking from experience...... :|

Damn Buddy,you need to go watch CHINESE GHOST STORY 2 Right Now!!!

Yeah I think alot of movie fans have mental conditions such as Obsessive Compulsiveness and such.,There's those who are completists who buy stuff just so they have the collection on their shelf.Some people if they stopped buying movies cold turkey they will still have more movies they can ever watch.
