[Thor Joachim Haga]

I don’t know if it qualifies as “needless details” about my collection, necessarily, but an ADMISSION, at least, is that my physical film collection never grew to much. Which is kinda embarassing as not only a film music lover, but a professional film journalist as well.

While I lived at home in the early 90s, I only had taped VHSes, films I had taped off of TV. Maybe a couple of original ones, like JURASSIC PARK. When I moved on my own, I acquired a few more, so I maybe had about 40-50 original VHSes at most. Then DVDs came in the early 2000s, and I sold all of the old tapes. Continued to acquire a few more DVDs over the years, but it never really took off. One, because of money (had to prioritize those CDs, dammit!), and two, because I never really had room for them. I still don’t have room for an extensive film collection in my tiny one room apartment, which is why my film collection currently counts some 75-100 titles, out of which maybe 5-6 Blu-rays, the rest DVD. So puny!

Anyone else with the same experience?
