John Mulaney: Baby J
I watched a John Mulaney special once before, but have literally no recollection of it (this is one of the reasons I keep going with this daft blog that I assume no one reads — it's a valuable aid to my memory). Anyway, apparently I enjoyed it (I gave it four stars on Letterboxd), and I'd seen chatter about this new one, so I gave it a go. Thought it was really good. Hopefully I'll remember that...

Collection Count

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

This week, a handful of titles dribbled in throughout the week, mainly new orders I placed after the sad news of the demise of Network, the great DVD/Blu-ray label. They're going to be sorely missed.

Number of titles in collection: 3,098 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,028 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,070 [up 5]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 261 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 7,601 [up 5]
Number of films: 3,796 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 316 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,589 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,054 [up 1]

Next week was set to be a busy one: only one new title is actually due for release, but I had a bunch of stuff on preorder for the week after direct from a couple of different labels, and direct orders like that often ship early. But then one title got put back, which took the whole order with it, and now I'm thinking it'll be of a broadly similar size to this week, maybe even smaller. Oh, the exicting ups and downs of buying boutique label releases! (Please note: yes, I am using the word "exciting" ironically.)

Anyway, next week it's also time again for the monthly running time update, so at least there's that excitement. See you then, faithful reader!
