There's not enough hours in the day to watch this much TV

Posting on the new Safari 4.0. Which is INSANELY slow and keeps hanging. I should know not to download software updates until at least a couple of weeks after they first appear.

Anyhoo...

Just been running through my "To Watch" list in my head. My conclusion? I have way too many DVDs. Prompted by the discussion of Astonishing X-men over on Scans_Daily and my current... dissatisfaction with Whedon, I was reminded I still have a boxed set of Firefly to watch. And absolutely no desire to watch it after Whedon's recent output's turned me off. BUT, I shall make the effort.



However, I realized that it's just one of many many DVDs and collections I have to watch. Just trying to compile a list in my head and these include:

Ken Burn's The West
The Complete Firefly & Serenity
House - Seasons 1-4
The Ultimate Westerns Collection Box Set (Rio Bravo, Chisum, Pale Rider, Wild Bunch, The Searchers, Outlaw Josey Wales, Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, Unforgiven)
Western Classics Triple (The Magnificent Seven, The Big Country, The Long Riders)
Sherlock Holmes The Definitive Collection (All of the Basil Rathbone movies)
Primeval Series 2
Alias: Season 2
Life on Mars: Series 1
The Complete Muppet Show
Heroes Season 2
Michael Palin: Round the World in 80 Days
The Tudors: Season 1
Teachers: Series 4
Doc Martin: Complete Series 1 & 2
ER Season 1 & 2 (Rewatch, but I bought on DVD since I only had them on VHS)
Alfred Hitchcock Box Set (14 movies)
Tru Calling: The Complete Series (I've watched about 6 episodes of this)
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 3 (Rewatch, again because I only had it on VHS)
The Osbournes - Series 2 (Apparently. I don't remember buying this but Play.com says I did)
The Complete Steptoe & Son
The Street - Series 1

That doesn't even include individual movies I've picked up.

What does this tell me?

A) I have a tendency to slurge when I see a bargain
B) I REALLY NEED TO STOP BUYING STUFF.

Someone give me strength not to buy those Deadwood and Rome boxed sets that are calling out to me.

I tend to splurge on DVDs too. The other week I bought Universal Soldier for something like £3. I don't even like Jean Claude Van Damme!

The amount of money I spent on DVDs is indecent. I sometimes buy DVDs because they have the actor I like and then fail to see it (I'm talking to you, 4 DVDs with Sam Rockwell. God, why does he have to make movies that are so... Indy ^^;) Every month I promise myself "no more" and then I end up with as boxset because it was on sale.
Only this month I got myself Bones 1 & 2, Scrubs 5, 2 movies with Simon Pegg (liking-him-atm-syndrome!) and I'm thinking about Bones 3 - they have a sale at HMV ^^;

The Complete Muppet Show
