Collection Count

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

A whole pile of new additions this week, just in time for a new monthly running time update — which is why this post is days late, because I've had a busy time at the ol' day job and haven't had time to input it all until now.

Contributing to this week's bumper selection are: a bunch of titles from Vinegar Syndrome's recent sale, and with them a couple of new releases; another pair of new releases from Eureka (turning up two full weeks before their release date!); another pair of titles from Indicator, including their second box set (also almost two weeks before their scheduled date); and a Kickstarter of a silent film serial. It means nearly every category sees an increase (I've counted the serial's episodes under "TV episodes", which isn't truly accurate, but nor would it be to count them as either 1 or 7 films). Only poor old DVD misses out. Such is life.

Number of titles in collection: 3,135 [up 12]
Of which DVDs: 1,028 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,107 [up 12]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 275 [up 4]

Number of discs in collection: 7,670 [up 18]
Number of films: 3,845 [up 13]
Number of additional cuts: 338 [up 3]
Number of TV episodes: 9,618 [up 7]
Number of short films: 1,067 [up 5]

Plus, as I mentioned, it's time again for a running time update...

Total running time of collection (approx.):
544 days, 7 hours, and 37 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 7 hours, and 24 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.
