Ivanhoe van Rooyen, age 57, South African, RavenGlamDVDCollector@gmail.com, collects original DVDs featuring pretty actresses, movies ranging from BLACK SWAN to Bikinis Away, just as long as there is considerable droolworthiness. My other interests? Actually, none. I am trying to write my novels as well, “TimeStayer: Angel Fox� and sequel “TimeStayer: ForEver Young�, an endless project! But that is in the same vein, as it features a darling heroine, reckoned by myself to be 'just what Hollywood is waiting for'. Everything centers around my magnificent obsession being this Silver Rainbow Chaser at ElectricLadyLand. My thanks to IMDb, and I would like to tell Col Needham that we are in at least one way two of a kind, both of us totally under the spell of Those Eyes, of which I have done in-depth studies for hours on end. My apologies for currently delivering sad excuses as reviews, as they are meant as rants against 'studio bosses/network executives/whomever' not releasing favorite titles, especially TV shows and music videos, on DVD. It is my personal opinion that if these 'children' are so abandoned, they should be fostered by whoever takes pity on them, damned be copyright, so put that in your pipes and smoke it, Sirs! Release, or lose your rights! That one should move ya! I can lay claim to having spent a small fortune and owning virtually all glamour-filled titles of note, without it being too much of an exaggeration, but several titles, like MODELS INC. and UNHAPPILY EVER AFTER forever elude me. My offers to reward persons who can bring these targets to justice are actually genuine, but I live in South Africa and you'll obviously have to take a leap of faith in sending me a securely-packed disc, but if you are the real thing, I would be cutting off my own throat if I cheated you, 'cause a real thing would give more of the same. Unfortunately, I don't have a credit card and find it therefore very difficult to order off the Net, also no computer, and no YouTube compatibility with my touch-screen BlackBerry, also a bit of a technophobe. But I can get your reward to you by Western Union Money Transfer or international money order.I am into good drama, I can look past bad acting, I love a good story, I thrive on naughty stuff, kinkier the better, so anything goes! But I'm only looking for items on my Hard-to-Find list, which is available on request as well.
A request to IMDb: what about music videos? Okay,so some of the contemporary top stars do have sites for their music videos, but it is very selective, leaving the vast majority of them out in the cold. Many of them are junior movies in their own right, like Meat Loaf's I WOULD DO AYTHING FOR LOVE (BUT I WON'T DO THAT) which is one of my Hard-to-Find on DVD quests as well. And there is no sign of my favorite singer Eighties songstress Mandy Smith...
Check out my reviews to see which titles I'm searching for, which ones carry rewards, and also the titles I am proud to own and joyously watch. Hopefully all going well, I will be updating my entries as I go along, reflecting on my passions for individual titles.

Please note that my e-mail address is all in one line. Some darned technical glitch sometimes cuts it in two. The last word is Collector.
Oh, and by the way, if I do not show any activity on IMDb, I am perhaps too busy with DVDs or downloading, but if it becomes a long time, perhaps my cell-phone is broken. I'm really trying to say that I am a frequent flyer on IMDb, so, if I'm still around, I'm here at my favorite site. If you ever notice a really long absence, kindly inform IMDb and they could hold a little memorial service for me.
Yes, and then it happened. The saddest story. On 4 June, my TV set blew, my huge beloved TV set, and in the ensuing drama, after a misunderstanding with the TV repair crew, I walked into the way of a car. I am now crippled. My TV set has, reportedly, been repaired, but convalescing in an old age home, I have no access to it.
Hopefully this is not farewell, but it might be.
Jamie Luner, Mischa Barton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, I loved you all. I'm gonna miss you all dearly.
This is RavenGlamDVDCollector signing out. Until further notice, if ever.
Thank you, IMDb, for more than 14 months of a really glorious time.
Addendum, 2015/07/28, 2:37:36 PM. I've been back on the scene for five days. Crippled, limping badly, but reunited with my Tedelex EC3407, and thankful for every second of watching again after seven hellish weeks. All offers still stand.
Notice: Experienced problems with my beloved touch-screen phone at the end of March, had to switch to another phone, it's not equipped with JavaScript, which is why I am now so silent on the Board Posts front. Also unable to do further Synopsis work, explaining the absence of my synopsis for MELROSE PLACE "Wilshire" aw, the irony, just as I was poised to do the final episode. I'm still on the Review scene, and Storylines, Quotes, and rectifying other people's mistakes, and if I can save this notice I'm writing now, Lists. 2016/05/03, 7:20:06 PM.
2016/05/19. Almost a week of absense. A miserable time. But I'm back. Touchscreen with JavaScript and all. Until the next disaster, I suppose. Let it be made known, if anything goes irrevocably wrong with my setup, if I'm still breathing, I'll come back as ElectricLadyLand@gmail.com. But here's hoping this holds.
New Year's message: Last year some guy assured me I am responsible for the most entertaining page on IMDb, this very one. Oh, well, better success with it then than with my (mostly unseen, I suppose) reviews, synopses and contributions. I'm still at it, successes here and there, especially with getting to see "an edited version" of FALL FROM GRACE again, thanks to Ralphus44, thanks guy! 2017/01/05, 12:36:28 PM
Currently finally doing the long-intended updating of UNHAPPILY EVER AFTER's episodes, the ones I had been able to download, anyway. It is going well, the first season anyway, that's where I am now. I fear it won't go so well further on, because there is a whole lot I do not have, 2017/01/25, 6:18:59 AM
