Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #47 by CRC Payne & StarBite
Someone posted a gag from this on Twitter, which led me to the full thing (which I'd never heard of before), and... well, the gag they shared was the primary punchline to the whole comic, so there wasn't much point reading it. But it's a decent gag.

Games
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Having enjoyed my replay of the Monkey Island games, I've been looking for more point-and-click-style adventure games to play — and, thanks to sales and whatnot, I've ended up with quite a few to choose from. So, this is where I've decided to start. Why? Not sure, really. It was originally released in 1995, and I vaguelly remember being aware of it back in the day and wanting to play it (because it's Indiana Jones-inspired and I've always loved Indiana Jones), but I never did. So now I finally am. Hurrah!

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
When this week began, it was possible it was going to be a completely dead one. Well, that's... not how things turned out. Between preorders turning up early and some quick-shipping sale buys, there's a grand total of 12 new acquisitions this week. Four of them are upgrades to previous editions, including the second Dalek movie in 4K meaning, my old double-film BD set is removed from the stats (as mentioned when I got the first film in 4K).
Number of titles in collection: 2,882 [up 8]
Of which DVDs: 1,050 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,832 [up 9]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 186 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 7,166 [up 11]
Number of films: 3,446 [up 8]
Number of additional cuts: 273 [up 4]
Number of TV episodes: 9,323 [no change]
Number of short films: 993 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Wimbledon 2022
Men's Final
I've watched bits of Wimbledon on and off this year, but not enough to feel it merited logging. I only half-watched this too, but I did have the full thing on, and it was worth it for the touching tribute to Sue Barker after the match. Even though I don't watch a huge amount of Wimbledon (I haven't bothered to log it since 2014!), I'm always aware of it, and she's been presenting it for as long as I can remember. Definitely an emotional farewell.

this week on 100Films.co.uk
7 new reviews were published to 100Films.co.uk this week...
Bank Holiday (1938)
Lupin the Third: Is Lupin Still Burning? (2018)
2022 | Week 22
More next Sunday.
Bank Holiday (1938)
To call this a “forgotten classic” or similar would be to overstate the point somewhat, but it does seem to be a largely forgotten film that merits being better known.Read more here.
Lupin the Third: Is Lupin Still Burning? (2018)
Appropriately for a 50th anniversary special, Is Lupin Still Burning is loaded with references (both major and minor) for diehard fans to enjoy. As someone who has enjoyed a couple of Lupin’s adventures but is a long way from being well-versed in his world, I could tell a load of stuff was flying over my head — almost everything, in fact — which was unfortunate, but understandable. This is clearly a celebration that’s primarily aimed at dyed-in-the-wool fans rather than pleasing or initiating newcomers.Read more here.
2022 | Week 22

The outlandish Doctor Who movie that never was
by Matthew Sweet (from MSN)
I heard about the screenplay for "the third Dalek film" (which actually has nothing to do with the Daleks) after the screening the other week at which its existence was revealed, but I think this is the first deep-dive into what that screenplay is actually about. Very interesting.
(This article was originally published by the Telegraph, but that's behind a paywall, so here's the full thing for free courtesy of MSN.)

13x05 Doctor Mordrid
Nearly a month since I last watched MST3K; although, at their current release schedule, that means I'm only two behind, and still have almost three weeks until the next premiere (which I won't be free to watch live, again). Talking of premieres, they're continuing to leave them available (for those of us with suitable Gizmoplex passes), so I'm still watching new eps that way. It takes longer (there are *gasp* adverts!) but has its benefits (post-show Q&As).
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Part I (of 6)
Finally starting this. Thoughts on Letterboxd.
