Ladies? Love Steelbooks? - Blu-ray Forum

digitalbabe · 01-07-2010, 03:00 AM

Hi All,

I originally started a discussion in the Steelbook Junkies Social Group, but per the suggestion of another member am adding a thread here.

So, I occasionally am jokingly reminded that "we" SB Chicks are in the minority. As a 15+ year member of the distribution industry, avid movie fan/collector I find this type of chat interesting. So, I thought I'd start this discussion as a way to connect online with other female collectors.

About Me: Early 30's, committed relationship, 70+ BD Steelbooks, live in USA, movie nut.

How about you? Why do you love Steels? What got you into them, and what are your favorites? How many do you have, yadda yadda?

And yes, if you're a dude, feel free to stop by too-we won't make you watch the Spanish Steelbook of "Twilight" until your eyes bleed. If "Wreck" is around, he'll catch my joke

Hey digitalbabe! Boy, am I glad I caught you and you started this thread! You have no idea how I've been trying to connect with other gals on this site. Everytime I try to start a thread trying to connect w/ other girls, the thread gets closed.

I was actually thinking of starting a new social group for the women of Blu-ray.com since there are so few of us and frankly I'm tired of the enormous amount of sexist comments on this site... Ok, yeah, that's another topic.

I do love Steelbooks although I'm not a die-hard collector, I only have a handful, usually only buy ones of movies I really like. I got interested in Steels thanks to this site! Why else? Lol!

Yeah, I really do love this site and appreciate the people keeping it up. I'm a movie nut too! In NYC!

I was going to post in your Steelbook Social Group thread as I am a little shy, but what the heck! We need more chicks on this site seriously!

In the few years I have been visiting this site, and in the brief months that I have begun commenting...I have never really noted any "sexist comments". Especially here in the Steelbook thread. I hope your experience changes as you (like I), begin to post more often.

PS - I'm a guy

No, not on the Steel boards

, but I've seen quiet a number (I've been on here a year) and I'm not talking about the "Women We Love" threads which are great and more appreciation threads, but mostly in the Discussion boards. Stuff like "women are like this or like that..." or "do this or that to her" or "they can't or aren't blah, blah, blah..." or body part talk, etc.

No biggie, I've never had to report anything that really got out of hand that eventually didn't get taken care of by the Mods. It's just a disparity of proportion of number of women on here compared to men; if more women were on here it'd balance the discussions more and I think not be as easy for certain things to be said.

Just my two cents, but back to the topic! I really want more "chick flicks" on Steel!

I'm a lady. 40ish. Been with my partner Tami for ten years on the 20th of this month.

I have one steel book. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre on DVD. Found it at Best Buy in the $5 bin and picked it up because it is one of Tami's all time favorite movies. Oh and I have one video game, Pefect Dark Zero. I think steel books are nice, but I have no intertest in collecting them.

I do see a lot of the typical locker room macho talk; women can't drive type crapola, but it doesn't usually bother me unless they are malicious about it.
