Just picked up The Simpsons Season 1 package and for the first time thought "what the hell I am doing?". Do I really want to invest $520 on The Simpsons, on something I will probably be able to watch in syndication for free for the rest of my life?
Let me say that I have 104 DVDs (by DVD Profiler count - counting The Godfather set as one and such) and another 40 in the wishlist the I am confident I will buy at some point. I have collected these over almost three years (I think) which is probably on the slow side for this forum. My purchase philosophy is to buy anything that I think I would enjoy watching from time to time. Although I have purchased things like JP2 and 3 because I had to have the whole set, not because I liked the movie. However, this is the first time I have ever thought about the money invested in it all and it is not really an issue of money as much as it is sanity. At first I attributed this to purchasing a TV show, but I already have Buffy S1.
Has anyone else gone though this? I know there have been several threads of this kind, but I feel the need to talk about this. I think maybe my problem is for the first time I am collecting things. I have not collected things in the past nor I am pack rattish by nature.
So here I sit....Simpsons Season One in hand and already thinking of buying Seasons Two through....wherever they end up and I have no logical explanation for it.
Other wierd things that have happened lately:
Dreaming of the directors cut of Fellowship of the Ring and being giddy over the purchase of Say Anything at $12.99. 13 bucks WOW!
That's it, I have lost it.....
