Doh.
In my never-ending quest to ensure I cannot spend a single moment without something to do or a task to accomplish, I have begun the DVD project.
I'm going to watch every DVD I own and all their special features. I seriously expect this to take years.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 980 DVDs and TV seasons. So far, I have watched 21 movies/seasons. I have a long way to go.
On the plus side, I've watched the special features for something like 120 of them (so far, I've tackled a lot of movies that just have the trailers and yes, I have checked off the ones that don't have any). It's my goal to finish a DVD (either movie or special features) a day and maybe do more on my weekends (or tackle the longer ones then).
I am still doing the book project and expect to finish the book I'm currently reading tomorrow or Wednesday. (Maybe Thursday.)
The super part? I've learned that a few of my movies have rated and unrated versions on there. I think I'll just go with the unrated versions and call it good. Although I think the ones where there are director's cuts (the Alien series and Almost Famous), I'll try and watch both.
And I'm seriously amazed at what movies have extras. For example, My Cousin Vinny has a commentary. The Family Man has THREE commentaries. Is that really necessary?
I'm currently moving my way through the special features on the Office DVDs. And as a by the way, I don't know who told Rainn Wilson it's funny when he pretends to be Jenna Fischer, but that person lied to him.
This seriously may be the dumbest move I have ever made EVER.

Did you see that link I posted to some website like Shelfari but it's for movies.
Traxor or something.
Yes, I could. If I still loaned movies out, which I don't, because people keep them for a really long time. (Maybe you're right and charging is the way to go...)
No, I didn't see that post.
Since Jan 1 I've rented 130 discs (movies and shows) and watched every single commentary and extra. I've even done the commentaries in foreign languages and had to read the subtitles of the commentary; although I'm kind of starting to wonder about the translation of the commentary...
I'm on the 6 at a time plan and don't have a job right now and can't seem to make any headway on my list. Still almost 400 discs.
Also I constantly rent movies so yeah that's also caused me not to watch my own.
Well, you're 300ish away from me, so if you keep going like you are, I think you'll catch up. :)
(I don't think this is something to aspire to.)
