Collection Count

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

So, last week — when my collection swelled by 22 films across just four releases — I mentioned there was another big multi-film set due to arrive this week. That is Curzon's Lars von Trier collection, which boasts 15 features (plus several shorts) in a single box. I actually already own a fair few of those on a mix of DVD and Blu-ray, but all of my DVD editions includes special features that aren't in this box set (even though it boasts 18 hours of extras!), so I'm keeping them; but it does replace a couple of Blu-rays.

Also this week: an additional pair of multi-film sets (one a trio, one a duo), plus a regular ol' single film release (though even that contains an alternate cut), for a total of 21 features across four releases. Coincidencetastic! Would've been an even greater coincidence if it was 22 again, but it's still remarkably close. Nonetheless, with the replaced titles factored in too, my stats change thusly...

Number of titles in collection: 3,389 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 998 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,391 [up 2]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 397 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 8,174 [up 20]
Number of films: 4,217 [up 18]
Number of additional cuts: 404 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,800 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,171 [up 1]

See you next week, faithful reader, when I thought things would be lower key, but there's a deluge of stuff I want coming out on the 28th, all of which might turn up in time for the 26th. Well, we'll see.
