She's says there will be about 12 videos in this series, and she asks viewers to point out the movies that they themselves own.
In this first batch, the only one that I own is Witness. I'm sure I'll have a lot more when she gets to science fiction and fantasy.
I’ve got twice that, wonder how much overlap we have...
Own none of them, though Witness might be a possibility if I saw it cheap.
And, in other news, I will generate and post a 45 minute youtube vid about all the different cans of soup I currently stock and which ones are better than others.
Following that, I plan to purchase an entire box of Crayola crayons and discuss each colour and hue one by one, with its uses and qualities on differing mediums.
Then, which colour stamp is best for which type of letter you mail! What cheek! The crowd is stunned! (/sarc)
BTTT
Bwahahahaha ... needed that belly laugh. Thanks ... BTTT
Im a huge film buff and a collector of movies as well. But the vast majority of her movies she mentions in this video I cant stand. Many of which are 1990s films.
Nadine? Titanic? Prefers the 1981 version of the postman always rings twice?
Blech.
bfl
I’ve got 80+ gigs of movies, tv shows, music and all kinds of other crap downloaded in my old laptop. And the damndest thing is I’ll probably croak before I rewatch all of it. Har! Sure is nice not to have to worry about scratching those dumb brittle DVD/etc discs.
Yeah, because hard drives never fail. Or do they?
I have over 2TB of movies on my hard drive(s). TerraBytes. Hard drives do fail. I have a pair of 6TB drives in a RAID 1 enclosure. If one fails, the enclosure notifies me without skipping a beat. When I swap a replacement drive in, it rebuilds from the other drive, automatically. I additionally have the data backed up to a third drive in a safe. I made a transition to digital storage, it beats having all those stupid DVD platters around (which I still have in storage chests). Easy to quickly select any movie without having to search for and load a DVD, and takes no physical space other than on the hard drive. Additionally, DVD platters can fail within 5 to 20 years, because the layers can decay over time - depends on the manufacturer and many used cheap ingredients. (Don't ask how I got the movies in digital form.)
Well, you're no fun. It doesn't matter, I'm technologically impaired.
Ok, I owned 6, 3 were musicals but I also owned the zombie love flick that she said she thought only teenagers would like. One of the 6 I have never watched.
Ummm... “TerraBytes”?
As in ‘Earth Bite-ings’?
I think you might wish to re- look-up storage values, mate. Just a thought...
Everything fails—it’s Murphy’s law. Redundancy in backups is the key to success in data preservation.
I wonder if she is saying each movie is a dvd - I have a bunch of anthologies that have 100 or 50 or 20 movies in just a few dads - usually 4 to a disc double sided. If she means individual movies then I’ve got her out movie’d in a big way. If she means actual physical DVDs then I’d guess I’m right around where she stands not including TV and cartoon dvds.
I prefer the older black and whites myself since the actors seemed to have to carry the majority of the work and there wasn’t such a reliance on the color and special effects.
Be an interesting series I suppose.
Not exactly true. A corrollary to Murphy's Law:
Nothing you have a spare (backup) for will ever fail.
I agree with you. But I’ve seen plenty of her other videos, and when she gets to other genres, I think you will be very pleased with her taste in movies.
I’ve seen a of her other videos, and she loves horror movies.
Please ping me to that video when you finish it. I also have a large collection of soups. Though lately, I've been more into making my own from scratch.
