Do you collect anything? How did you start? (lemmy.world)

I find that most people in my life have at least one "thing" they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

I totally get it. I love the extras like directors' commentaries, and streaming feels like it has lost so much. But I don't want the hassle/space of dvds, I just want to buy complete digital versions that have all the extra bits. And until they will sell me it...

I was a total film buff. I watched every special, bought limited editions, even imports from Japan because the cut was different. I went to festivals, studied film techniques, watched 3-4 movies a week, old and new. It’s all gone. I don’t know, it was kinda pushed away by other hobbies and stopped being as interesting to me. Which is a bit sad because there are still amazing and obscure movies coming out. Now I watch 1, maybe 2 a week and I sometimes have to push myself to do that.
