A catalog
Today I offer up a simple catalog of my DVD collection. My movie purchasing has declined now that I have no income, so there are several movies that should be on my list but aren't.
One might glean something about who I am from such a list, if one were so inclined.

true romance: christian slater's best movie. christian slater's best role? Gleaming the Cube.
most stereo typical christian slater character: his role in Heathers.
that is, up until you discover that he's a psychopath...
Veronica: "You think you're a rebel? You're not a rebel. You're a psycho!"
JD: "You say tomato, I say to-mah-to."
If I posted my DVD list, it wouldn't be nearly this good. I mean, I don't own "Girl Next Door" or "Harold and Kumar," but there are a few that would bring me to shame.
I don't see a single Sylvester Stalone movie. This list is inferior because of it.
Nikie -- just for this list.
JV -- When armed robbers broke in to my apartment, the didn't take my computer, tv, or iPod . . . they just took my copies of Over the Top and Stop or my Mom Will Shoot.
Over the Top is fuckin sweet
I don't care what anyone else thinks.
HE ARM WRESTLES FOR HIS SONS LOVE
I wouldn't take the music collection of a man with such a pitiful Stallone DVD collection either.
smeyyl
But at least we have both Rocky VI: What the Hell Happened To Me and Rambo IV: I Meant Something in the Reagan Years to look forward to.
Two great American heroes, returning to bring America's pride back.
Thanks, Sly.
i think ronald reagan should come back from the dead and act agian. that comeback would be less difficult to pull off than sly's...
Over the Top.
Kickass shit.
I was always a Schwarzenegger guy myself.
I mean, every (non-family) movie he's made? Brilliant.
I agree. I'll take Arnold over Sly any day. (I'll even take Kindergarten Cop.) Terminator -- brilliant. T2 - brilliant. True Lies -- genius. Total Recall -- amazing. Predator -- I ain't got time to expound.
Let's not forget who else was in Predator...
The other actor turned governor.
See how I took Jesse's famous line from Predator ("I ain't got time to bleed") and made it my own? So no, I didn't forget who else was in Predator.
But of course we use the words "actor" and "governor" quite loosely.
Rocky V = dear god this never actually happened did it?
Don't forget Jesse and Ahnold's other blockbuster hit, "The Running Man."
BONNNEEEEEE SAW
That was an amazing movie. Because I could just imagine like Bob Barker in some future life hosting that exact show like in Running Man.
