Films

The Great Escaper (2023)

Kidnapping by Indians (1899)
The first ever Western film... and it was a British production! It's also rubbish; literally only of interest for its historical significance. But if you want, you can watch it (free) at the BFI.

Collection Count

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

It's an all new release special this week... special only because they're all new releases, not for any other particular reason. A mix of stuff out last Monday and next Monday that arrived early, which feels like an increasingly uncommon occurrence, so is nice... not that I have time to watch any of them this weekend, so it's a moot point really. Anyway, five new titles, including one BD-to-4K upgrade.

Somewhat of note: this little lot sees me pass 8,000 discs in my collection. Crikey. Just how many of them are redundant DVD copies in Blu-rays / Blu-ray copies in 4Ks / etc? I dread to think...

Number of titles in collection: 3,308 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,002 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,306 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 359 [up 3]

Number of discs in collection: 8,003 [up 7]
Number of films: 4,079 [up 6]
Number of additional cuts: 387 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,720 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,146 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.
