The Two Faces of January (2014)
[2nd watch]
[#62 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]
I originally counted my rewatch of Encanto as #62, but that arguably throws up some conflicts with my rules (I've already counted Encanto once, when I watched it the first time). So, as this is another October rewatch that can qualify, it seems sensible just to count this instead.
Walk the Line (2005)
[2nd watch]
[#63 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]
Not seen this since it was in the cinema, even though I've owned the DVD probably since it came out. It qualifies as this month's DVD watch, too... even though I didn't actually watch my copy (I was away from home and watched someone else's)... and it's in HD on Disney+, so even if I had been home, I probably wouldn't have watched my DVD. Kinda defeats the purpose of the DVD category (to watch more of my DVDs), but the rules don't actually specify it has to be my copy that gets watched (though it is kinda heavily implied), so...

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Another big haul this week, primarily made up of an order from Indicator's sale. I picked up seven titles therein, although I also snagged an empty Hammer Volume Two box — I already owned two of the titles that go in it, and two of the seven I ordered were the other two. So, of course, that does slightly funny things to this week's totals (I never really know if those "funny things" show up in the end results, but I certainly have to think about them when computing the numbers).
Also this week: the reward from a Kickstarter I backed a year-and-a-half ago; two Masters of Cinema titles, one new (officially out Monday), one on offer (which has ended); and an Arrow release I picked up secondhand (to make sure I got the booklet) because 88 Films are releasing its sort-of-follow-up later this month, so I thought I ought to have both.
Number of titles in collection: 2,942 [up 8]
Of which DVDs: 1,043 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,899 [up 8]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 203 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 7,276 [up 13]
Number of films: 3,523 [up 11]
Number of additional cuts: 286 [up 2]
Number of TV episodes: 9,422 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,007 [no change]
This week should also have been the monthly running time update, but with so much going on I just haven't had time to work it out. Next week instead, then, faithful reader.

Comics
Wasted Space #1 by Michael Moreci & Hayden Sherman
It's been over eight years since I last read a single issue of a comic, back in the days when I collected them. I stopped buying because they weren't getting read — I know roughly how many I had still unread at the end, but I'm not going to say because it's insane.
Anyway, I read this one because they're Kickstarting a complete collection of the series, which piqued my interest ("Philip K. Dick in a blender with Preacher"? C'mon!), and they're offering the first issue for free online as a taster. But if you're interested, get a wriggle on: at time of posting, the Kickstarter only had 32 hours left.

Encanto (2021)
[2nd watch]
[#62 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]
I think this is going to count as #62. What gives me pause is that it was also #28, but that was a different viewing. My rules say a film can't count multiple times, but what I really mean is I can't count it multiple times from a single viewing — a rewatch (counted in the Rewatch category) is different, right? That's my current thinking, anyway.
The Infernal Cauldron (1903)
The One-Man Band (1900)
Watched a couple of Georges Méliès shorts on YouTube. I only did it to tick them off a list on Letterboxd, really (and, in the case of the second, to check if I'd seen it before. I don't think I had; not in full, anyway), but they're incredible pieces of work — still entertaining, 120 years after they were created.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Just two packages of Blu-rays turned up this week, but ooh, there's all sorts going on across them. For one thing, one contained four titles and the other five — so that's two weeks' worth at the average rate I mentioned last time. However, three of the latter were Blu-ray upgrades of titles I owned on DVD, and one of the former was a BD-to-BD upgrade, so the net total is only five additions.
Various other stats went up and down as titles were subtracted and added, though the end result of it all looks calm: five new titles, with five films, on five discs.
Number of titles in collection: 2,934 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 1,043 [down 3]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,891 [up 8]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 203 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 7,263 [up 5]
Number of films: 3,512 [up 5]

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Considering my collection grew by 240 titles last year, I guess five titles in one week is more-or-less average (the actual average is 4.6, so it does round up to five, but only just).
Two of them were new releases this week, because there's always stuff I want coming out nowadays; and to underline that point, another one is a new release from next week; while the other two were... well, not new. Although, one of them only came out a couple of weeks ago; but, in my mind, if I don't preorder it or get it in release week, it's no longer a "new release". (And the fourth title came out three years and one month ago, so that's not new by anyone's standards.)
