And so it continues...

I mentioned either in my last post (or in the main Stupid Movies Collection blog post) that I was going to start creating blog entries for each of the movie sets I have.  Well, I've gone and created a whole new blog specifically for this.   

I present "Darrin's Movie Collection".   

As explained previously, each movie pack will get a blog entry and the blog entry will consist of the checklist that I typically make for each movie pack.  This checklist contains the name of the movie, the year it was made, it's IMDB rating, three or four of the main actors in the movie, the running time for the movie and if it's in B&W or Color.  I've added some additional information such as what the packaging is like (including photos), how many of them were unique to my movie collection when I purchased it, the total movie count and run time for the entire movie pack, total movie count and run time for only the movies that are unique, when and where I purchased it and how much I paid for the movie pack.   All the good things that an obsessive collector does.

I started with my newest acquisitions since those were the first to be in the latest checklist format, however I am now starting back at the beginning and redoing the checkoff lists for the older ones.  I even managed to track down old emails and receipts for when I purchased each collection.  Starting at the beginning also gives me a chance to correctly reassess which movies were unique to the collection when I bought them.  This in turn allows me get a better estimate on the number of unique movies I have and the total running time and how long it would take me to watch them all if I watched non-stop or if I watched one a day.  Silly things that I like to keep track of.   The last pass will be to mark the online versions of the check lists with the movies I have actually watched.  

The Movie Collection blog currently has the five most recent and the first two movie collections (well, technically the third and fourth but I don't want to get into that).

Now, if you don't mind, I have some madness to get back to.  Only 66 more movie packs to go!
