Collection Count

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

Three new additions this week, of which the biggest (in every respect) is The Wicker Man on 4K. Despite being one of StudioCanal's fancy big-box editions (with five discs, including a music CD, and a bunch of posters and art cards and whatnot), because it replaces my old Blu-ray copy it actually does almost nothing to the numbers below (but the other two additions do, of course). Still, it's a definite upgrade: all three cuts in 4K (meaning the Director's Cut jumps from an SD NTSC-to-PAL conversion straight to 4K), plus some new special features (as well as all the old ones). Now, I just need to actually watch it — when I last saw the film, the Director's Cut didn't even exist, never mind the Final Cut.
