: 1. Are you building any collections of films?
Yes. I am trying to get my own DVD collection up, but somehow my brother siphons hem off when I'm not looking. Then he insults my taste in movies. Then he steals more of my movies.
: 2. Do your choices of films parallel anyone else's?
No one person I've met has the same taste in films as I do. My brother and I like some of the same comedies, but he doesn't realize the awesomeness of Monty Python. My roommates share my love for bad movies and artsy movies, but they also like horror. I'm not a horror fan, but I love the Evil Dead movies. So, no, I've yet to find someone who likes all the same movies as me.
: 3. Would you tell a friend/relative their film taste is poor?
No. Someone told me that because I think Last Crusade was better than Raiders, and The Pirate Movie was one of the all-time best movies. Man, was I mad for days. I told everyone what 'poor taste' in movies I had.
: 4. What's your fave genre (if at all)?
Probably comedy, because I like to laugh. But I love all kinds of comedy, so that leaves it pretty open. As long as the story is solid, I'll probably like the movie.
: 5. Do you buy straight away, or do you have another method?
I buy when I have the money. I have a list of movies I want, which I constantly add to. I look around on Amazon, ebay, Target, Walmart, Hastings, etc. I compare prices, and when I get paid, I buy one or two movies off my list, at pretty reasonable prices.
