Topic: [BOAT] Show off your movie library

Pretty self-explanatory! Feel free to throw in info about why it's organized the way it is, any particular significance attached to part of it, etc.

Mine's the simple setup--fiction and nonfiction, each alphabetized by title. Woefully incomplete, of course.

Titles to the lower right that are glared out of visibility: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street; 12 Years a Slave; Two Days, One Night; Under the Skin; Vanya on 42nd Street; The Wall.

Not my entire collection, some stuff is scattered around the house I just couldn't be bothered collecting them. Organized the way they are because that's the order I grabbed them out of the pile when I was moving my room around the other day...and because I watch stuff and leave it in piles.

(If you're wondering a spectacular amount of that is stuff I randomly find at thrift stores cause I'm too poor to buy the actual sets new.)

Re: [BOAT] Show off your movie library

Heh, to an extent. The problem is I keep finding random compilation DVD's, but they only have 2-3 episodes each. So it looks like more than it is.

Re: [BOAT] Show off your movie library

Well, I don't have many movies, but I'll show ya what I got. My setup is a square.

Sure, I could have spent three seconds squaring up all the picture frames before taking this photo, but I didn't. This is the new reality. The framed pictures are prints from Paulou's art project in Creations, btw.

Movie Shelf #1

Mostly movies I bought for DIF/WAYDM.

Items of note include:

  • Project London — feature by friend of the show Ian Hubert.

  • Apocalypse, CA — feature by friend of the show Chad Peter. I did one of the posters for this movie, a print of it hangs elsewhere in the living room. (All of the art that hangs in our living room / kitchen area is by artists we know personally.) (Or by me.) (Who we don't know at all.)

  • It's not really a movie in this photo, but... some of the aforementioned living room artwork is by my buddy Alex Pardee, who designed the Sucker Punch logo, which is a movie in this photo, so ha.

  • "Star Tours" mug on top of Star Tours ship model. You don't see that every day. But I do.

Movie Shelf #2

A couple more DIF/WAYDM movies, plus Cloe's box-set of The Prisoner, plus some drum loops, and that Hitchcock box-set I talked about once. Plus Queen at Wembley.

Movie Shelf #3

The rest of the movies I've accumulated over the years.

Items of note include:

  • 2010: Moby Dick — feature by Trey.

  • Brooklyn Force — short by TFN's Adam Bertocci, first thing I ever scored.

  • Hunter Prey — feature by friend of the show Sandy Collora, with VFX by Weebs.

  • The Z-Team Star Wars Parodies — collection of shorts by friend of the show John Hudgens.

  • Feast 3 — I did VFX on this one, and when we needed to bring on another artist, I emailed Dorkman out of the blue and asked if he was still doing VFX. (As far as I knew, and know, all of the VFX he'd done prior to that point had been personal projects and fanfilms. I knew he was good, but I didn't know if he'd worked on a "real" show before.) (You know, a "real" show, like Feast 3.) (I guess he hadn't.)

  • Undercut — MTV-Movie-Award-nominated short by friend of the show Steve Reedy. (The Fountain guy.)

  • USS Iowa — feature doc by someone I know but you don't so it doesn't count; the really amazing story of how a couple enterprising fellas bought the battleship USS Iowa off of the government to keep it from becoming target practice, and restored it with the help of a flock of volunteers.

  • Monsters, Inc. — nothing interesting here, just that I never returned it to Blockbuster.

The glare on those art prints during live recordings was always just wrong enough that I couldn't tell what they were and assumed they were vinyl album art. This clears up a years-long mystery.

Re: [BOAT] Show off your movie library

2010: Moby Dick is next to Harold and Maude. This pleases me.

Bonus points to the first person to just post a picture of a hard drive.  tongue

Re: [BOAT] Show off your movie library

I think I did that the last time this thread happened. Not proud of it. I've changed my ways since then.

This photo reminds me that it's a crime against humanity that neither all the seasons of the original Muppet Show or Muppets Tonight is available on DVD.   sad

Re: [BOAT] Show off your movie library

I did have a feisty collection of DVD's a few years back, but with Blu-Rays and the likes of Netflix coming along, I've gotten rid of most of it. I just didn't want to start another collection after swapping my VHS collection with DVD's. I've got about 40 items on the shelves, most of which is box sets and Doctor Who.
