Collection feedback

[RBBrittain]

Cool. I came here looking for a thread like this because I wondered why my official BD count jumped from 126 to 140 without adding anything. I've actually gone back thru my collection and counted the number of actual titles before (the Bond boxes, Austin Powers, Bourne, Spider-Man, The Godfather, LOTR, etc.), so I like it.

Your logic is logical too though.

Here we go again. Ummm no. When did 3 movies become 1? The Alien boxset is just one movie? How about unrelated movies like the Bloodsport/Timecop Blu? Is that one movie? Hehe. I'm happy for the change. Finally!

yea but when someone asks you, How many blu-rays do you have? I cant say 2012 as I dont have that many, it is 17 something

I agree with this. The count should reflect the number of movies (or TV Seasons) you have, not the number of discs or blu-ray packages. Otherwise, my Planet of the Apes Collection would count as "1" when there are 5 Blu-ray movies in the set.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i see now. oh well.

I've recently noticed some errors with my blu-ray collection here. Under my profile and "my blu-ray.com", it says I have 263 movies in my collection, but I only have 224. When I click it, it shows the correct 224 movies.
Also, when I "search collection", it shows a few other movies that I do not have in my collection. Anyway to fix this? Thanks

Edit: Okay, it appears the 224 movies showing 263 is because of the new tallies feature that counts extra movies on box sets. But what about movies that I don't own showing up under search collection. For example, I searched horror and Constantine and Dark Water showed up along with my other titles, but I don't own those 2.

I think people here go for quantity rather than quality of representation.
I like consize collections.

[LordoftheRings]

"Harry Potter" box set (the next full complete one) = 1 movie or 7 movies?
"James Bond" (full complete box set) = 1 movie or 22?

...And that is the question.

* At the Cinema Theater, can you watch the entire seven movies (or 22) in a row in only one screening?
That's what I also tought...

I rest my case.

[LordoftheRings]

One title = One movie = One day screening experience.

One BD disc with two movies = Two movies = Two titles.

One Box-Set with five movies = Five movies = Five titles.

One TV Box-Set with twenty TV hows = Twenty individual TV shows with one TV show per screening day = Twenty TV show titles.

* Me it's just the way I count in life. ...But what counts for me doesn't necessarily count for others.
...And Quality or Quantity doesn't have anything to do with it!

** How do you count your money? One dollar at a time or by bundles?
What's better, more dollars or cleaner money?

Man! I just luv it!

P.S. Should this post be part of the first one from last page, or a separate second post?

[MaCruz]

I adjusted my collection now adding the Box Set editions, and deleting the individual movies.

[Chrysagon]

Thanks for the change. I want to track my movies by title. I'm not interested how the movie studio sold my movies to me. I collect movies, not bundles. So now my Star Trek movie collection accurately reflects the true number of movies I own -- 6, and not 1, as it used to be.

[Silo5]

My philosophy is that if a movie comes in it's own case, then I count it separately. If it comes in one case, then I separate them, put each one in it's own case, print artwork for each case, and count them as one movie.

[LordoftheRings]

What about "Grindhouse" (first versions: "Death Proof" & "Planet Terror") that came in two separate BD cases?
This is supposed to be only one screening experience; so do you now count it as one title, or two?
Now it comes in one BD case and one disc for both films, which is one or two?

"Kill Bill Vol.1 & 2"?

I think you are nitpicking or trying to be funny and confuse people. Kill Bill has 2 separate releases Theatrically and on Disc, same with Death Proof and Planet terror

If i have any concerns , i always refer to imdb

If you update the "unique movies" count for a title, you will need to edit your collection once to re-calculate your total collection count.

OK, just to clarify, if you go into the database and change the "Unique discs" field for a movie, this would be making a change for EVERYONE who owns that movie, and not just your own collection? Or is there a way to change the count for just your own collection?

If it's strictly a global change affecting everyone, then how exactly are we deciding to handle TV series or Miniseries? Band of Brothers (miniseries) boxset is 10 hour-long episodes, still just 1 10-hour "movie?" How about a multi-season series box set like Battlestar Galactica - One "Movie" per season, one "Movie" per physical disc in the box set, or one "Movie" per hour-long episode?

[Diesel]

I believe one season = one "unique movie"


For example.

Lost Collectors Edition.

Six seasons.

The "unique movie" for it is listed as six.

[FREYMAX 3D]

Hmm, OK, so going back to my Battlestar Galactica example, how would the infamous half-seasons be handled, which were aired almost a year apart, and would be boxed separately if you purchase the season boxsets rather than the total series... BSG has seasons 1, 2.0, 2.5, 3, 4.0, and 4.5, four complete seasons but 6 separate box sets...

[Marcus Wright]

I prefer for TV seasons it to be 1 title per one hour episode.
So, for Lost Complete collection it would be.

Lets say 10 episodes in one season, and 6 seasons in total.
that becomes 60 titles in total. 6 times 10.

How about that.

From my experience (cataloging software and sites) count a season as "1" title.

yea and from my experience titles like Funny Farm/Spies like us count as one blu-ray since they are pressed on one disc.....

My count is so screwed up now I stopped using it
