The HTF DVD Challenge 2004 (1 Viewer)

[ChrisBEA]

I think I'm gonna burn out, or at least slow down pretty quick. Most of the stuff I've been watching lately has not had much in the way of extras. When I get to stuff like AQ and LOTR:EE's that'll slow me down.
Besides I am also a TV and concert addict....
So much to do....

Updated my list and added a star rating. I tend to like action movies more than anything, if that's not already obvious from what I've been watching. I really liked some of these when I first saw them, but now I find myself checking to see how much time is left. I have a feeling a few titles might be leaving my collection.

[ChrisBEA]

Wow, still haven't missed a day! my luck has been holding. Problem is, the collection keeps growing....
No way am I gonna make it through everything.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I'm doing a better job of watching my collection than I am of editing my post to reflect what I'm watching, but I am keeping everything in an MSWord document.

 

[Angel Pagan]

There's still a week to go in this month.

 

[ChrisBEA]

I've been a bit obsessive lately. I don't think my luck will hold out, especiually when better weather arrives, plus the rate my collection grows at.....

 

[TonyD]

if i watch spider-man every couple of weeks, do0es that count as a new entry?

 

[Scotty_McW]

How are people handling sets like Indiana Jones and the Godfather? Are you counting each disc or the sets as one entry?

 

[ZackR]

I count each movie as one title and one entry on my list...

 

[ChrisBEA]

I count them as they are listed in my DVDP profile.
Ex: Indiana Jones has separate listings so I would enter each movie as a separate entry. Dble feature disks only count after watching both features. I don't have Godfather but if I did, I believe DVDP has that as a sinbgle entry, so i would have to watch all of them to count it. but than I am integrating the way my DVD's are listed into the way I count them, makes it easier to count them.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I count each movie as a separate movie, but I don't count Bonus discs as separate title, so Indiana Jones is 3 titles, same with Godfather, and same with Back to the Future. When I say I don't count the bonus disc, I mean like Freddy Vs. Jason is 1 title for a 2 disc set.

I've just decided that I will edit my post at the beginning of each month to show you guys what I've watched...

 

[Chad A Wright]

I count each individual film.

 

[Mark Zimmer]

I count each boxset as a single package, unless the discs in it are available separately. So the Woody Allen boxsets, each of which is individually available, count as 6 or 7 movies. But the Mondo Cane set, one flimsy box with 8 discs with 5 movies, counts as one entity, since they're not available separately. That's also how I have my DVD Profiler set up. A 2-disc set devoted to a single movie is just one entity. Likewise, a triple feature disc is still only one.

The grey area comes for things like the Blue Underground Christopher Lee boxset of four: three are individually available, but the fourth movie only comes in the boxset. I'm counting that as four, since it's a separate movie and kind of stands alone, but if that had just been a disc of extras I wouldn't count it at all. The Godfather set is one, no matter how you count it.

And Tony, no, you can only count each movie once (though you can count Lord of the Rings:FOTR Theatrical and Extended as two different movies, since they're different cuts).

All IMHO, of course. But I did the Challenge faithfully all year last year and these rules worked pretty well for me.

 

[Scotty_McW]

It makes sense to count each individual film, so that is the path that I will take. I'll have to recount my movies, but if I take the TV shows out, it should equal out. Plus there is the never ending stream of new purchases.....

 

[Scotty_McW]

I've added movies I've rented and movies seen in the theater. I'm doing this just out of curiosity to see how many movies I see this year.

 

[ChrisBEA]

Nice idea, Scotty.
I was thinking of joining the movie challege in the Movies forum, but I didn't quite get everything they were doing there. So, I have added all my theater trips to my list. I color coded and have separate counts for:
Film titles watched
Non-film titles watched
Films seen in a theater
DVD's watched that I do not own

 

[TonyD]

i was gonna add theater too, but so far only big fish.

i dont get to the movies as much anymore.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I suspect I'll go to 2 movies this year, Shrek 2 and the Incredibles, and since I don't rent I'm just sticking with my owned collection.

Anyway, I'll finally update that original post of mine on Sunday to reflect everything I finished in January.

 

[Scotty_McW]

I don't go to the theater much any more either, but figured if I'm keeping track of my own movies, I may as well keep track of everything!

When I told my wife that she just :rolleyes
