What's your next blind buy?

[The Ween]

I hear you have a box thingy as well

Yes, I do and it's magnificent!

WAIT!

 

[crows]

Well personally I do a lot of research before I blind buy. I usually only blind buy if I think I will really like it. Plus I usually don't get them at full price.

well to me that's not really a blind buy then,
because I bought those movies not knowing much, I only saw the trailer for some of them,
I guess I did a really really blind buy LOL

Um YEAH. I usually don't blind buy movies that are widely agreed upon as totally sucking.

Hey blackmask, have you seen Elektra? Its awesome, trust me, just go out and buy it right now.

It gets flung on evilbay or traded in against next purchase.

on ebay those movies are worth 1.99, same to trade, it would be like 1 or 2 bucks worth

When people were first talking about this, I was kinda excited about it, then when it came out in the theater and people were talking about it, and it was everywhere, I got disinterested about it because it started sounding like another Twilight series. Too much giddiness or something. I got turned off and didn't go see it.

It's a pretty solid movie and the books are great. Twilight could only hope to be as good as this series of books and this movie is miles better than any twilight film.

Why would anyone blind buy when you can get Netflix for $20 a month?

Why would anyone blind buy when you can get Netflix for $20 a month?

Because two or three blind buys a year is better than $240 in Netflix fees?

 

[ProgMatinee]

People with Netflix only watch 2 or 3 movies a year?

I have no idea how many movies people with Netflix watch. You were suggesting that some go out and get a Netflix subscription for hundreds of dollars a year as a cost effective alternative to the occasional blind purchase. Now if someone were buying more than 12 blu-rays "blind" each year then yeah, they could do the same thing and more with Netflix. But I can't imagine a blind purchase every month can be very common.

I would think that most people that buy movies they're not sure they like are probably also buying movies they do like. So their Netflix subscription covers more than just blind buys.

I'm assuming that the thread was directed to people who "collect" movies. Not 3 a year.

 

[Khev]

I'm assuming that the thread was directed to people who "collect" movies.

And that's where you're wrong. Dead wrong.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Saw a thread on Blu-ray.com like this and figured I would start one up here. Part of collecting movies is the joy of blind buying. I love picking up a new movie usually for cheap if I haven't seen it and going home and watching it for the first time. Next blind buy for me will be The Raid:Redemption. I have heard nothing but good things about it.

And that's where you're wrong. Dead wrong.

"Dead wrong" huh? The OP said as much. LOL is my opinion on buying movies so offensive to you that you have to act like a knob? "Dead wrong." I don't even know what the hell that means. Are you saying that this issue is a life and death situation?

 

[Khev]

"Dead wrong" huh? The OP said as much. LOL is this thread important enough to you to act like a knob?

No, I just figured it was good enough way to end the discussion.

I'm actually laughing that you took that so seriously. "Dead wrong." Like I'm about to blow you away or something because we disagreed about blu-ray purchases.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Might as well say, "you're so wrong, you're an idiot." If you're going to act like your opinion is so righteous, at least make it about something a little bit more important than this. Otherwise you just sound like a ******.

Anyway, blind buy or not, I am surprised people "collect" movies any more. I love Netflix even with all their flaws like throttling . The concept of being able to get almost any movie I desire in 3 or 4 days is just awesome. The movie would have to be freaking awesome for me to even consider buying it anymore.

 

[Khev]

Again, you missed the joke, but anyway.

See the "3-4 days" is what has always killed Netflix for me. If I'm in the mood for a movie I want to watch it *now* (and anyone who disagrees is dead, and I mean *dead* wrong.)

For me, it would take a lot longer than 3-4 days to save up enough to have a library of 100,000 movies. So I'm willing to wait 3-4 days and sometimes even longer! to view any movie I can think of.

I have netflix but just for streaming. I like the instant factor of owning something. Like if I'm in the mood for a certain movie to watch I can just walk downstairs grab it and watch it that night. I'm always in a mood to watch something so having my own library is better for me. Now I do agree if you are someone who doesn't watch a lot of movies waiting 3-4 days isn't bad at all. However, my days off I spend most of the day watching movies. I sometimes will watch up to 5-6 movies in one day.

If your "mood" compels you to watch movies you don't own, you gotta go buy them. If you can afford to build a huge library to complement any mood you may be in, great. But for me, it's a lot more cost efficient for me to only buy my absolute favorites and then rent the rest. If you're watching 5-6 movies a week you're either watching the same movies over and over again or you're spending a lot of money.

My wife and I watch probably 3 or 4 movies a week on Netflix plus another 5-6 hours of TV per week. I consider that an unhealthy amount, but I do it anyway. 8-10 hours a day is OMFG.

Well considering I bought 100 newer blu-rays meaning they aren't old crap ass movies for a dollar each not much money at all. I don't ever buy one at full price unless it is one I have to have when it first releases. Honestly if it's not less than 8 bucks I probably don't own it. I probably have put a lot less money into my collection than one would think. I have a hastings by parents house so I am able to get a lot of blu rays for buy 1 get 1. But hey this is just me. I love movies, love talking about them and I enjoy collecting them.
