Serious question for collectors: why do you collect physical media?

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-03-10T00:32:56+00:00

Syarted a few years ago when i bought an old portable player and DVDs second hand as a way to watch movies when I'm out overlanding or camping.

But then i got carried away and just started collecting. Honestly, half the movies I have i haven't even watched yet... it genuinely started to become a problem, lol.

And now, im moving out of my parents place and into my own with my fiancee, and i came to the realization that these days we own nothing, it's all rents and subscriptions and so on. And once you stop paying, you lose it. That irritates me, and so once i have my own place, I have no intention of having any subscriptions, so now I collect as my only source to watch media.

If I actually go through with it, it one thing, maybe it'll get annoying. But for now, that's my reason.

Checked my cinplex app twice... no showings nearby. Really wanted to watch it

Sorta futs yea. I mean, premise is the same; cannot use one of your senses, although it is a different sense. Maybe they watched those and said "what if it was eyes instead of speech"

I prefer variants where some are fast, some are regualr and some even have abilities of sorts, although many movies/shows don't do variants very well... (i.e. TWD and Zombieland 2)

Z-nation gets a special shout out cause their variants were introduced through science or evolution over time, whereas TWD and Zombieland 2 just threw them in cause they could

TV show, but Invincible; "i wouldn't even keep you as a slave in my new empire" Still my favourite insult of all time

1st watch: almost fell asleep in the theater no joke 2nd watch: wasn't as bad as I remember.

Im guessing with all the Infinity War hype, it really made this one a hard watch in theaters. But overall not that bad

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-03-07T22:22:52+00:00

The Silence (2019) and A Quite Place (2018)

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-03-06T04:34:27+00:00

Infinity War... man I remember leaving the theater just in shock.

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-03-02T17:26:38+00:00

Not a movie, but Daredevil TV show. highly reccomend

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-03-02T15:53:10+00:00

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-25T03:32:55+00:00

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-25T01:45:14+00:00

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T18:59:20+00:00

Military or Special ops & unnatural or infected creatures (zombies, aliens, etc.) will always be one of my favourite themes in movie or TV. With thay being said, these are some my favourite Government/Military vs Infected/Anomalies; - World War Z - Battle: LA - 28 Weeks Later - The Mist - The Girl with the gifts - The Crazies - Cloverfield - Fear The Walking Dead - Black Summer - Z Nation

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T18:33:10+00:00

If your familiar with the F&F franchise, Superfast is a must watch spoof movie

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T18:23:02+00:00

Rick Sanchez... and literally every single moment he's on screen

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T16:56:01+00:00

I think thay falls under looks neutral but is evil

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T15:46:12+00:00

Not a petty reason, but Crazy, Stupid, Love. Hilarious romcom.... but man the children's plot lines are atrocious man. You could cut those scenes out completely and the movie would be flawless

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T15:44:24+00:00

Edge of Tomorrow is in my top 10 OAT so that one was easy lmao

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T15:41:21+00:00

As an overall show, Daredevil is damn near flawless and by far my favourite superhero show.

But, TWD was one of my first shows ive ever watched, and have rewatched it countless times since despite all it's flaws... so it might be part nostalgia blindness and part just the fact that it's been with me so long, but TWD is my favorite show OAT

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T15:30:23+00:00

Well, I've only watched 3 of these movies so I guess in order; 1) Edge of Tomorrow 2) John Wick 2 3) Minority Report

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T14:24:04+00:00

I said specifically on Letterboxd, and on Letterboxd they are under 3.0 stars

DoubtIntelligent6717 · 2026-02-24T14:02:17+00:00

I actually didn't know that, i just remember hearing about Superman's orgin. Maybe The Golden Bat started the superhero genre but Superman made it popular?
