Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

Another slew of new additions this week, including a bumper lot of 4K — among them, Criterion's first UK release on the format (hooray!) Also an upgrade from BD to 4K, for a BD I bought a few months ago and hadn't even opened. I suppose it's not the first time that's more-or-less happened, but it feels like one of my shortest repurchase windows ever. I'm not happy about it... and yet, at the same time, I did it.

That's not the most uncommon addition of the week though, an honour which goes to a true rarity: an entire release for just a short film. That would be Pedro Almodóvar's Strange Way of Life, which is exclusive to HMV on Blu-ray and comes out on Monday. It's streaming in 4K on MUBI, mind, so I'll probably watch it there. Yeah, maybe I am a fool...
