I thought of that, but then the PG sticker would be upside down and I wouldn't know whether or not I am allowed to watch it.

Oh, yes, all of my wrong-way spines get filed upside-down. Artificial Eye, Minerva Classics, MK2, even (sob) my Jacques Demy Integrale. Curse you, Europe, must you do everything backwards?

Slow day on the forum, huh? I have to admit that I've never even noticed that some of those spines read different ways, so I just file everything front forwards, right way up. Whatsamatter, can't you guys read and write upside down?

Actually, now it's probably going to bug me and I'll be shaking my metaphorical fist at you when I get home.

I'm sure many of us have foreign language books on our shelves as well. I definitely don't file those upside down.

You could try these

They have the following advantages
No fixing required, they may look like unstable but the more you load on them, the more stable they are, because they lean into the wall,
You can move them around, take them with you, they are easy to build (like really easy, the shelves fit into the hangars and the whole lot is held together with two thick screws each side)
Lots of choice of colours
Nice and open
You can add to them (they screw into each other) The full size ones will take six shelves, not the five they are pictured with, at 46 DVDs per shelf. I have nine as bookcases and a further five for DVDs, and still some videos
And best of all, while they look fine and dandy with just one row of DVDs, you can stack them two deep...

I simple don't care about the spine... right, left, down, up

You must be very supple.

Ahah

I'm just saying that with so many dvds from all around the world the spine doesn't matter.

Gen-Yers are apparently getting rid of their physical media.

Didn't George Clooney's character in Up in the Air, who's about two generations behind Gen-Y, already show the problem with this line of thinking?

EDIT: Wait, this is from Hipster Runoff. Why am I responding seriously to a site that at one time was solely obsessed with finding "perfect indie breasts"

I like having my dvds stacked all over my bedroom. It makes me look incredibly busy and intelligent.

Okay, so the linked article is more interesting than the easy targets Carles takes. The idea of needing suicide counseling when your hard drive crashes says too much about society right now

At one time? The quest continues . . .

Shows how often I check Hipster Runoff. Though I saw a girl wearing one of those I Am Carles shirts the other day

Didn't what happened to this very forum yesterday show the problem with this line of thinking?

Carles himself made fun of the same thing recently. Apparently, hipster runoff has doubled back and is now making fun of itself as "entry level." It actually kind of hurts your head to think about . . .

I still think the dumbest part of that article is the guy who decided to just sleep on the mattress that had been left behind in his newly-rented apartment. That is one large pair of Bad Idea Jeans.

And I'm still not sure it's a hundred percent. I've had to log-in twice today (and usually my log-in holds unless I actually log off...).
Oh, and ditto on the left-behind mattress being the part of the article that hit me.

I'm having an existential crisis over whether this should go next to the boxset or replace the DVD inside the box, and if so, WHAT DO I DO WITH THE DVD???

1st World Problems,

They're called white people problems, when will people understand?

Next to the box, obviously. The petite BluRay will just rattle around in that big ol' box. (And then you'll lose the stray disc and be unable to sell off the box set for a pretty penny when you need that hip replacement.)

But how can something that's part of the Orphic trilogy be next to the Orphic trilogy? That doesn't make any sense!

Well, you could always try my filing method. Toss it on top of the midden, inside a corridor of old newspapers and safely above the rising tide of cat pee.

(Anyway, doesn't your dilemma happen all the time with music, when you've got an edition of something that's also included in a box set?)

I have a whole room for movies, where my organizational decisions are under constant scrutiny by all who enter. For music, the "avoid cat pee" system is sufficient.
