The Hold List
By: Chiprocks1 Date: August 24, 2012, 1:05 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I am always maxed out with 25 Holds at the Library for DVD's I'm
waiting for and usually I have plenty more that I want to check
out. I usually write those that I can't Hold on paper. But like
always, they get lost and I forget what title it was. So, this
Thread is geared strictly to extending your Hold List, while
also doing your part to save trees.

If it weren't for the Library, half of what I have reviewed so
far, I would have never gotten around to seeing. I spent way too
much money on DVD's (Blind Buys) that just didn't pan out as
keepers. The Mom and Pop Stores never carried the Big releases
until like a year after the fact and Blockbuster was like paying
for a new copy for Rentals on release day, so that was out. I
just stopped buying all together and missed out on a ton of
releases during a 5 year window. So, I'm slowly hitting those
titles and keeping up with current releases as well.

I will be updating my Extended Hold List with new titles to keep
them all in one place, instead of just posting new stuff.

Big update to my Extended List. I included movies I own on DVD
in with the list as I want to work those in with the stuff that
I've yet to see.

I always have 400+ DVDs on my Netflix queue... I'm such an
addict, but it beats buying. Lot of it is TV shows, since I
don't get HBO it's the only way I can see Game of Thrones or
BoardWalk Empire (just finished the first seasons of both and
loved them... and I have such a crush on Kelly MacDonald).

I don't have HBO or Showtime so I have to avoid spoilers and
wait for it on DVD. I actually prefer it this way. Shows like
Thrones, Breaking Bad, Dexter play so much better when I can
knock out 2-3 episodes a day. If I had to wait a week for one
episode, I'd blow my brains out.

Exactly. And HD over the air isn't as good as HD off a disc.
And now I have a rule: I'll only watch ONE HBO season of one
show at a time, otherwise it gets a little muddly in my mind.

I got rid of premium cable a long time ago and I haven't looked
back since. It was Mac that got me into the idea of hitting my
local library for all the free DVD "rentals". The amount of
money I have saved can't even be calculated. Well, it can, but I
don't have that much time to sit down and do math.
