Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
It's back to being a busy week this week, as a bunch of stuff I thought would turn up last time finally arrives, plus a few new things too. It makes for a larger-than-average week... although it could've been even bigger, because what didn't arrive were next week's new releases. Well, it spreads the fun out some more, at least.
Number of titles in collection: 3,412 [up 12]
Of which DVDs: 994 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,418 [up 13]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 404 [up 4]
Number of discs in collection: 8,237 [up 22]
Number of films: 4,282 [up 14]
Number of additional cuts: 415 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,850 [up 13]
Number of short films: 1,181 [up 3]
Looking at what might arrive next week, there's enough stuff definitely turning up to almost rival this week... but if the week-after-next's releases turn up early, it's really going to be another stonker for some categories. We'll see about that next week, faithful reader.

Newsnight
15/11/24 edition
I don't regularly watch Newsnight, but I happened to see this had an item on the so-called 'Xodus' — i.e. people finally abandoning the site everyone knows as Twitter, mainly for Bluesky — and was interested to see how it would be covered.

Critical Role
2x66 Beneath Bazzoxan [1st half]
"Did we just defeat a whole village in, like, 30 seconds? But it took us days to leave a tree?" Ah, D&D.

Hurrah — 1 new review was published to 100Films.co.uk this week...
Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
More next Sunday.
Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
If you came to Rosemary’s Baby without any kind of context about its place in film history, you might well conclude it had been made in the last few years... in terms of its plot, its themes, its characters and their relationships, and what they might be signifying, that all feels quite ‘of the moment’. Maybe it did in the ’60s too. Maybe it has in every time period since — maybe that’s why the film has endured so well for over 50 years.Read more here.
More next Sunday.
Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I thought it was going to be another busy one this week, but, in the end, a lot of stuff was slow to dispatch or (in one case) got held up at customs, so I guess that might be deferred to next week (or even spread across the next couple of weeks, who knows).
Number of titles in collection: 3,400 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 995 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,405 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 400 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 8,215 [up 4]
Number of films: 4,268 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 414 [no change]

Number of short films: 1,178 [up 3]
See you next week, faithful reader.

The Graham Norton Show
32x07 (8/11/2024 edition)
I didn't set out to watch this, and yet somehow it was on, and I didn't turn it off. Hey-ho.

Have I Got News for You
68x06 (8/11/2024 edition)
This I did choose to watch. Guest hosted by the regular host of the US version of the show, who did a better job than what (little) I've seen of the US version. I guess he's good at his job, but the writers and editors of the US version, maybe not so much...

Games
Syberia
Another hour. The second main location is kinda more interesting, with more characters to meaningfully interact with. It still showcases numerous game design flaws (screens with absolutely no purpose other than to lengthen your treks back and forth; conversations that don't flow even close to naturally across topics), but at least it's slowly piquing my interest with its central mystery.

Comics
X-Men — Magik: Storm & Illyana by Chris Claremont & Brent Anderson
Introduction by C.B. Cebulski
The Uncanny X-Men #160 Chutes and Ladders
Sure, I'm quite behind on 2000 AD and still need to catch up with current X-Men, and I started Spawn but haven't read it for over six months, but why not start something else? (It's only a four-issue miniseries, with this issue of Uncanny as prologue, so it shouldn't take up too much time. Says the guy who's recently read one issue or less per week...)
