Directors and Actors = musicians?

[SonOfArathorn]

Sorry if the title is confusing but couldn't think of any other way to put it.

With the release of the new Dave Matthews Band album this week my fervor and passion for their music has been reignited. I was talking to my girlfriend about how it's funny how music fans will just inhale everything by their favorite artist.

It then got me thinking about my movie collection and the reasons why I buy certain movies etc.

I'm a huge Viggo Mortensen fan, living up here in the northwest an hour or two from the small town he has a ranch at I've been lucky enough to meet him several times when he comes to town, once at the Comic Book shop, the other time at a Best Buy. And the guy actually remembered me, how f-ing cool is that?

Anyway I'll buy any and every movie he is in, along with Johnny Depp, Brendan Gleason, Daniel Craig and others. Same with directors, any Gilliam, Coen Brothers, Peter Jackson movie I will buy, among others.

Am I the only one? Or are there movie fans out there besides me who treat their favorite stars like musicians?

Commence discussion....
