Yes.

Sorry, what was the question?..Oh...right. Whenever someone asks me if they are an idiot, i just automatically say yes.

So, in regard to your question, i would have to say it depends on the "other" stuff you could have spent it on. If it's food, water, rent, health etc, then you are an idiot. If it is stuff like games, magazines etc, then you are not an idiot.

As long as it doesn't physically hurt you or anyone, you're not an idiot.

If you spend it all without saving for food or anything more necessary, you might be.

I feel like calling you an idiot just because you are planing to buy 'Bee Movie' instead of something like Rambo or Natural Born Killers.

My only question is to you even like or enjoy most of those movies? Do you buy them for the hell of it or do you think you will watch most of those over and over?

Films bolded are more than worth the money. You are the exact opposite of an idiot for purchasing these items.

Films in red are not worth the money. You should not have bought them for any reason, unless they were extremely cheap or free. If you haven't already seen them, you are not an idiot for buying them, just rent them first and/or make better decisions in the future regarding BDs. Please dispose of these items.

Films red and bolded are absolute atrocities. You are an idiot for purchasing these items. Dispose of items immediately.

Films in italic are most-likely worth the money. You are not an idiot for purchasing these items, and if you haven't already seen them these make great blind-buys.

Films without any markup text are up to you to decide whether you were an idiot to have bought them. I have not seen all of them, but for the ones I have seen, I can tell you I personally wouldn't have bought them but that is just me and to each their own.

Not an idiot, just fortunate enough to have a lot of disposable income.

If I were in your shoes, I'd put 50 in the bank, and spend the other 50 on two blus each week.

But on days like the 20th and 27th this month it's ok to make exceptions

Default The envelope please...

The answer is "Yes".

Just kidding.

Personally, I just buy movies that I want to watch over and over again. About half my BD Library is rebuys from DVD, the other half were gifts (Thank you Amazon BOGOs). I think I'm in the Under 40 BD mark...
