Have at it!
700! I wish I had so many DVDs....
ReplyDeleteHaha. That's a safe estimate, but I probably have around 800 or 900. :)
DeleteWow, thanks so much Josh! I'll try to do these sometime in January :D
ReplyDeleteOh man, you watched so many movies this year! Hey, I still prefer CDs to purchasing music through iTunes, too. In fact, I still listen to my fave CDs in the car as well. My taste in music is a bit old school, ahah.
You're welcome Ruth!
DeleteI still listen to CDs in the car too.
Once again, you're welcome for the awards. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna!
DeleteWow, 700 DVDs! I'm headed there. I have around 250 at the moment, and I've run out of the extra shelving in my room. Argh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awards!
Yeah, I wish DVD cases were thinner, so I could put more on my bookshelf, which is full of DVDs. :)
DeleteYou're welcome!
700 DVDs ... Wow! On second thought, you don't even want to know how many books I have. I might be able to give you a run for your money there. :-D
ReplyDeleteCool that you're a descendant of Edward Teach. I grew up in Eastern N.C., not far from the Outer Banks, and Blackbeard is a very popular historical figure there.
Thanks so much for the awards. The compliment means a lot, especially coming an awesome blogger like you. ;-)
Haha. It's probably closer to 900, but I couldn't be bothered to dig all of them up and count them. :)
DeleteInteresting. I should research Blackbeard, because I don't know much about him, actually.
Aww, thanks! And you're welcome!
You're a descendant of Blackbeard? :O
ReplyDeleteArrrggghhhh! ;)
DeleteThanks for including me, appreciate the mention!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy visiting your blog, and nearly always stumble upon a classic film to add to my ever-growing watchlist. The screenplay series you did was my favorite. Good work, Josh.
Wow, 125 films from 2012, I look forward to your best new films list, is it on the way?
You're welcome!
DeleteThanks, Chris. Glad you enjoy the screenplay series.
My list should be up by late January. Just want to see a few films like Zero Dark Thirty (out Jan. 11) and Amour first. There are some films that I won't get to see for months, such as Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights, whenever it's released on DVD. But I can't wait THAT long before posting my list. ;)
Thanks man! This is quite an honor! I'll be sure to get on this today.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome man! Your blog totally deserves it!
Delete700 dvds and 125 films from 2012 are both very impressive numbers :) I'm not sure I even saw 60 of 2012 movies ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award, I'll try to do a post about it soon!
I might even have 1000 DVDS, but I didn't bother counting them. "Over 700" is a very loose estimate. :)
DeleteHaha. It helps that I've been cramming in 2012 films since early November.
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for BOTH awards, my friend. Discovering your blog was one of my best finds of 2012. Thanks for the constant support and for consistently putting up great content!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome man! Aww, thanks so much, and right back at ya! :)
Deletegee that's a lot of DVD's, Josh! Congrats on your awards, you sure deserve them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sofia!
DeleteHaha. I have a lot of movies to choose from, but storage space is becoming a problem. :)
