The Official HTF DVD Challenge 2005 - Page 4

I crashed and burned amazingly hard. X-Men 1.5 was what did it. So much content in one day just killed me.

It's a shame. I've acquired quite a few DVD's this year, and this week so far I've watched all the disk 1 and 2 extras for Titanic, and listened to two commentary tracks.

Ah well, next year... Which is made all the more harder by this years purchases.

Should have done this in 2001. I owned 2 DVD's

So, who's up for DVD Challenge 2006? I actually have pushed past 50% of my 2005 acquisitions watched, thanks to a last minute reviewing drive to clear out my review queue by the end of the year. That's substantially better than last year. Oy, too many DVDs, not enough time.

I belly flopped on the challenge LOL. I actually thought at the beginning of the year that getting through 200+ DVD's would be easy, probably done by June. Boy was I wrong LOL, I only got through about half.

Oh well, maybe next year!
