Haha! That's great.
I've another to add to my list... I'm a big movie fan, and many years ago nearly broke into the business (I din't quite make it, so started a new career). Anyway, I have an uncanny ability to stumble into movies being shot on location. And I don't just mean small indie movies, I mean Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" and Spielberg shooting "Ready Player One" (to name just two). Because of my brush with the industry years ago, I know the names for everything, can speak the lingo, etc, I've ended up being mistaken for part of the crew ;-)
Anyway, this has meant a few pointless eBay purchases. I've got a 35mm film trailer of a movie I love. It is utterly useless as I don't have a 35mm projector - they cost tens of thousands. Even my eBay addiction isn't that insane! But I also paid a silly amount of money buying a strip of film from "Dunkirk" in the 70mm IMAX format. Do I have an IMAX projector? Of course not!
