[#79 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]

It didn't count the first time because there was no category it qualified in, but this rewatch can count. Does this kind of thing mean my rules are too complicated now? Or is it just because I'm prone to finding ways to circumvent/use them cleverly? Not sure...

Collection Count

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

After zero new titles last week, there's something to report this time — although, as I also mentioned last week, exactly how much has been subject to manufacturers and retailers hitting release dates and/or shipping stock early. And so, out of a list of 15 titles that might've turned up in time for this update, I actually received... six. Hopefully the rest will be here in time for next week.

This was also supposed to be the monthly running time up date, but I just haven't had time to work that out, so that's bumped to next time too.

Number of titles in collection: 2,961 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 1,040 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,921 [up 6]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 210 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 7,319 [up 9]
Number of films: 3,557 [up 7]
Number of additional cuts: 290 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,432 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,017 [up 4]

See you next week, faithful reader.

House of the Dragon
1x09 The Green Council

TV

Doctor Who
Shada Episode Six [finale]
Picked up considerably as it went on. Maybe not quite the “lost classic” its reputation would have had us believe, but that seems to be an inevitable consequence for half of Who that goes unfinished or missing. On the bright side, it means we now have multiple competing versions of it to mess around with canon (always fun). It’s just a shame this version wasn’t fully animated, because then it would be that bit more official as another ‘visual’ McGann adventure to go alongside the TVM and Night of the Doctor. Oh well.

The Killing (1956)
[#77 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]
Obviously this isn't how I run my challenge anymore, but still worth noting that this is the 100th new (to me) film I've seen in 2022.

‘We’ve forgotten how to be innocent’: Tim Minchin on comedy, music and the joy of Matilda
by Eva Wiseman (from The Guardian)

Thought this was a typically insightful interview with Minchin. Not much about Matilda in it, though I am looking forward to that very much.
