Completist?

I do consider myself a completist, but I'm in no rush to get Spiderman 3. I'll probably wait a year or two when it's on the shelf at HMV for about $12. Eventually I'll also get young Indy Volumes 1, 2, and 3 - probably next year when Kingdom of he Crystal Skull is released.

I've never been a completist. If I don't like a particular movie in a series of movies I otherwise enjoy, I won't bother getting that one.

Well, call me sucker because I'm a completist.

I don't see myself buying one movie, not buy the 2nd one and then buy the 3rd one (or 4th) just because the one in the middle was weaker.

In my view, Spider-Man 3 was the weakest of all the movies but, that didn't stop me from getting it. Yes it was crap but at least, it's something that continues the other movies.

I guess it's just a personal thing.

And I will buy the 4th Die Hard because it was really good.

Wow. Revolutions was the only Matrix movie I could stomach, and T3 was my favourite of the series. I'm sure somewhere down the line my tastes align with yours; I mean, I too hated POTC: Dead Man's Chest, even if I found the first one rather dull.

I gotta have them all even if they suck. I won't rush out and buy them the day they come out though like i used, specially if it's a movie series.
For example, I have the first 4 Harry Potters but I won't buy the 5th one until all 7 are out in a nice Blu Ray box set like the first 5 are coming out in Januray.

I don't think "Live Free or Die Hard" was meant to complete the epic tale of John McClane that the creators intended to tell all along. I doubt any of them paced around their Santa Monica houses, just burning to realize their vision on the big screen and show the world what they have to say about what happens when a guy with guns shoots at a bunch of other guys with guns.

And I'll call all you completests suckers, because that's what the movie studios think of you.

And how much money do you people have that you can just buy things you don't like?

I think box sets are the perfect way to pick up the films you don't like. Sure Die Hard 2 wasn't the best but it did have it's moments, but i loved 1, 3, and 4. After awhile they go on sale or are cheap when the next one comes out... Example the Saw collection (1-3) next year when Saw V comes out shuld be dirt cheap.

I guess being a completist isn't being 100% a sucker because in the end, I would assume we do buy movies because we like them to a certain level.

I would never buy a movie that I didn't like that was sold seperatelly but was part of a trilogy.

If it comes in a box set, then it's ok. Best exemple, the Mummy movies, the box set included the Scorpion King (we al know it wasn't the best). there is no way I would've bought Scorpions King but I only bough the Mummy box set because it was cheap and had an etra movie in it.

Compared to the Harry Potter series, I'd rather have them bough as they come out and I don't care to have a box set for them. I wouldn't see myself buying part 1,3, 5 and 7 even if some of them were weaker. I'd like to have the whole series because it's part of the serie itself and there good movies, some are just betters then others.

I'm sucker then. The answer to your $$ question I guess would be, enough $$ to buy movies I don't care for.

jedi, I would like to buy the HP movies as they come out but I know I'll be upset when the full set comes out. I always want to buy the Friends comple Series and the Seinfeld Complete Series but I bought the seasons when they come out. I hate seeing those sets, I want them, but I'm not paying for the samething twice. I don't want that to happen with HP, so I'm waiting for now. Maybe when I get enough $$ where I can buy things twice then I can get those :)

I am a completist. I have Star Trek V, Spiderman 3, and all the James Bond movies. I liked Live Free or Die Hard and will get it on DVD. I hope the Blu Ray is the unrated edition. I hope to get a PS3 for Christmas.
