Well I guess what I should have said was what's the point of having a shelf full of DVD's you'll never watch? Wouldn't a smaller collection that gets constant replays be better?
I admire Luke and I'm grateful for his effort but in the words of Chris Rock: You are tossing his salad!!! Obviously you are looking for sympathy here, but let me be clear about this: sympathy will not buy you the movies!!!Escapay wrote:Here's something I'd like to know. What does reyquila think of the Lukester?
After all, Luke has written over 300 reviews for this site. He's maintained it for about six years now, pays for it out of his own pocket. It's not his professional job, more of a really expensive hobby and labor of love. But the Lukester makes sure to keep us up to date on Disney DVD news and reviews, and the site itself has grown beyond just Disney reviews. It offers material by Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension, etc. It's swelled to a point where he also has a staff of other reviewers to handle reviews as well. And in recent years it's become a wonderful Disney site that also offers event reports like movie premieres and theme park celebrations. Luke and other staffers conduct interviews with people like Leonard Maltin, Moira Kelly, Irene Bedard, Don Hahn, Brenda Song, etc. Not to mention there are seasonal site contests, an immense database of information regarding Disney DVDs, and a sprawling messageboard that is good, bad, ugly, crazy, and kickass all at the same time. UD is more than just a fanpage, it's a testament to the love and devotion a LOT of people have for Disney. It's Disney for the people, by the people.
But Luke doesn't own every Disney DVD out there. And I'm sure he doesn't wish to either, especially since some are titles he probably has no use for beyond review purposes. What good is a Disney Princess Sing-Along DVD for him? Or a Baby Einstein title? And I highly doubt Luke gets his jollies on weekends by watching a marathon of Playhouse Disney shows on DVD (regardless how enjoyable "Higglytown Heroes" is).
So, reyquila, is Luke a lesser Disney fan than you simply because he doesn't have all the Disney DVDs? If you say yes, he is a lesser fan, then you've proven once again just how arrogant you are about your collection. If you say no, it proves you're making a double-standard towards your ridiculous opinion of "no collection, no standing".

You can never overpaid for a Disney DVD!!! In fact, it was $19.99, a pretty standard price. Secondly, I already took my head out my ass and believe me mine smells wonderful when compared with your mother's!!!xxhplinkxx wrote:reyquila wrote:I'm back from Borders!! Have CIII!!!

We all know what it looks like. And if you went to Borders, theres a good chance you overpaid.
Oh yea, one more thing... get your head out of your ass.
"Two things", you say. Well, it may also have somehing to do with the fact that you've been overselling this particular point for a very long time. That's what I sometimes find just slightly bothering with your collecting game.reyquila wrote:Well I live for this shit!!! First of all I did not name names, yet several members felt alluded. That tells two things: (1) Having 25 dvd is really "brothering" someone and some people try to "escape" from reality by claiming principles in a very simple debate: who's the collector? Me. Because I have what you'd love to own but are refusing to admit that.
netty, apparently some people can't accept different ways of thinking from people of some different cultures and personalities, and don't see reyqilas natural boastful and loud pride in ownership as 'normal". He's a prima donna about his purchases, but that's the way he is!. Probably the same as people here showing proud pictures of their babies in their thick walletsI don't want this to turn into a repeat of the earlier reyquila incident, of which lots of people helped contribute to it's decline.
but for some reason, when reyquila does it, some people get "upset", just don't read his posts if you don't like them, and move on! have you stopped to think, that maybe where reyquila lives, stores like Borders and Suncoast etc may be the only game in town? There's no BestBuys there, and everything is sold at full MSRP except for the first week sale on some places, and Amazon/etc shipping is near "overseas" level.. Just ask Jafar about his ordering online woes.We all know what it looks like. And if you went to Borders, theres a good chance you overpaid.
