[#26 in 100 Films in a Year 2013]

When Bleeding Cool Met Sam Raimi For A Masterclass In Making Oz The Great And Powerful
by Brendon Connelly (from Bleeding Cool)
As someone in the comments section put it, "one of the most interesting insights into the 3D process that I've read". This is a real filmmaker-y insight into how 3D works for the film's benefit, when done well, as well as the technical challenges of making that happen.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week's main acquisitions are the oft-delayed DVD of This is Not a Film, which I've been waiting to see since Cannes 2011; Argo with Extended Cut, as the cover and spine insist it is called; and Game of Thrones season two, which was the most exciting of all, until...
The Hobbit!
10 days before the US release date and over four weeks before the UK, my import of the US Blu-ray arrived this morning. Hurrah for DVD World USA. OK, so it cost a bit more than buying the UK release would -- and that's already over-priced -- but... four weeks early! Four weeks! That's worth a few extra quid.
Number of titles in collection: 1,541 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 1,154 [up 2]
Of which Blu-rays: 387 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 3,867 [up 12]
Number of films in collection: 1,618 [up 4]
Number of TV episodes in collection: 5,732 [up 10]
Number of short films in collection: 374 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.
