You know, it's funny. I do the same thing. I do a lot of blind buys based on the collections of members with similar tastes, but they're educated blind buys. If I find something that piques my interest, I'll do a little reading about the film, either on AFI's site, or maybe Wikipedia-just to get a general overview. If the film involves actors or directors who have done movies I've enjoyed, and the narrative interests me, it's pretty much a no-brainer. The way I look at it, I'm building a library that is going to be with me for life. It's really an investment in my future. And since I never know what kind of mood I'll be in from one day to the next, the diversity of films in my collection allows me to be spontaneous. Anytime you'd like to talk about movies, or if you have a question about a movie that interests you, please feel free to send me a message whenever you like. I enjoy meeting new people, and talking about common interests. Have a great weekend!

How's it going? Thanks for the kind words. Always nice to be complimented by a fellow film, music and sports lover. I looked through your collection and I have to agree with you. We have scary close tastes. Keep it going man as it's really good. What I like doing is going through other collections that are similar to mine and get ideas on what I want to buy. I've actually blind bought quite a few titles from a someone's collection that's similar to mine and it's worked out about 90% of the time. Anytime you feel like chatting, just send a message. I'm pretty much on every day so talking movies is always a good thing for me. Take care!

Hey Koover, I just wanted to comment how much I love your collection, and how frighteningly similar it is to my own (though mine is comparatively smaller, as I have only seriously been collecting since April). Dexter, Game of Thrones, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Breaking Bad, a lot of the same movies (many in DigiBook, to boot), your Criterion collection, all the way down to the Alter Bridge, Dream Theater, Rush and Toto concerts, and baseball favorites like 42 and 61*. I'm really enjoying watching my library grow, and collectors like you, who put a lot of thought and care into their collections, inspire me to keep going. Have a great rest of the week! Bill
