analyze me via my dvds!

[kylerexpop]

i'm thinking that my dvd collection somehow reflects upon me in a very revealing way, and since i'm going through my schedule quarterlife crisis (see: current issue of utne reader) i need validation, attention, and to finally learn how to make s'mores (sp?). so if anyone out there with minimal psychological background (taking a couple community college classes makes you qualified in my eyes!) or just a zen for criticism can tell me anything, that would be great! thanks!

Well I'd say the fact that you actually alphabetized and typed all that up indicates borderline obsessive compulsive behavior. ;D

[TheOogieBoogieMan]

Or maybe you are just really really really really REALLY bored...really.

[puggyd]

"Weekend at Bernies"

Add another "really" before that last "bored".

"Mean Girls"

This suggests an overractive imagination, as this movie isn't out on DVD yet.

typing is easy. just get out the laptop, sit in front of my stacks when i pulled them out to redo the bookshelves, and typed at my usual 90-words-a-minute. microsoft word organizes them alphabetically for me, and voila! a list to trade with friends.

and actually, a perk of living in southern california (though i think it's the same for any big city, certainly in new york city) that with very little effort you can buy pretty quality bootleg dvds of movies currently in theaters for as little as $5. i bought bootlegs of hellboy and mean girls on birthday (may 29) out at venice beach, and i have a bunch more in my collection. the only real drawback is the picture quality is around 6-7 sometimes (on a scale of 10) and you get no special features, but all i care about is the movie, so i don't mind. bootlegs: totally illegal but fun!

[puggyd]

Microsoft Word can alphabetize? How? Do I have to put it into a table first, or what?

[bladestarr]

Looking at the list, all I can think of is multiple personality disorder. I mean, three different versions of Hamlet.... and then..... Mr. Mom

'nuff said!

[pythianlegume]

WTF? There's a Kevin Kline Hamlet?

[kylerexpop]

it's a dvd presentation of a play that was filmed for being broadcast on television, so it has the sparse sets and all, but the camera is used creatively so it's not just like it was filmed from a vantage point of an audience member: there are different angles and close-ups and all the trappings of a cinematic production. it's not too bad, and sometimes virgin records has sales on their dvds and you can get it for cheap.

[Lissa]

Isn't that the one where they're all in business suits? I think I've seen that.
