Are you a collector?

I collect:

1. 8/16mm cameras. 18 to date.
8/16/35mm film especially 8mm home videos of birthdays, weddings, vacations etc.

2. Documentaries & films, especially War & Kid films like: Little Criminals, Stand by me, Fresh, Virgin Suicides, Tex, Basketball diaries, Bugsy Malone, Kids, Bully, Ken Park, Pups, River's Edge etc.

3. Water pistols and replica guns in all shapes, colours and sizes.

4. Art

5. Computer viruses (Worms, Trojan horses, Macro's) including the notorious "I love you" one.
Here's is a link to lists of thousands. Wikipedia

I love old 8mm and 16mm film. I wanted to make a short film using either for class, but I don't own either. I love old footage, there's so much more... art in it, especially for short films. Very visually satisfying, for me.

Erm... I've just opened an email from you. Should I be virus checking my PC each day for the next week or two?

I collect SY records, CDs, books, etc. I bet there's not many around here do that.

You don't have to worry about that. They're not on my computer at work or at home. I have them encapsulated on disc and stashed in a very safe place. I only use them to launch attacks on serious hackers who jeopardise my existance. I've dealt with them appropriately in the past... when the time was right.

Too much clutter.

Very big words, Porkman. Very big. So big they barely fit on your screen?

Do you mean like: If you want to run away, go to page 26. If you want to stab the troll in the face, go to page 59.

LPs & CDs.

Rock T-shirts.

Used to collect German beer glasses but that's become less interesting.

porkmarras · 08.17.2006, 08:38 AM

Apart from the obvious(records) i go through phases when i buy loads of junk
from charity shops,junk shops,markets etc etc.I have a think for vintage music magazines in particular.

gmku · 08.17.2006, 08:40 AM

Oh, yeah, I like vintage music publications, too. Spin was pretty good for a while, late 80s to early 90s. I have some back issues from when I read it a lot back then, and I'm always on the watch for good issues from that era. Alternative Press, believe it or not, used to be good back then, too.
