Films

Snake Eyes (1998)
[2nd watch]
[#18 in The 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2025]

When I first watched this (link above) it was an "old film", because it was from the '90s and I watched it in 2010. Well, the time between my first and second viewings is longer than that gap between original release and my first viewing, and I've been meaning to rewatch it for most of that time, so... I don't really know what that says, other than that I'm getting old and time is slipping by.

Anyway, I got to watch it in 4K, and it's good.

Fiction

I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
Prologue
Chapters 1–6

Not my normal kind of thing, but I recently learnt this author is a friend of a work colleague; and apparently this (her debut novel) has an incredible twist, and I do love a great twist.

Collection Count

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

When I mentioned last week that I had 12 titles on the way, you kind of envision them arriving all at once. But I did say it was over "the next couple of weeks", and so here we have the first volley of five.

Number of titles in collection: 3,474 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 989 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,485 [up 5]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 434 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 8,372 [up 6]
Number of films: 4,405 [up 5]
Number of additional cuts: 439 [up 2]
Number of TV episodes: 9,856 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,220 [no change]

The remaining seven might turn up next week, but some are preorders for the week after, so we'll see. Whenever they arrive, I guess they're mostly (possibly all) destined to end up on my never-ending pile of "future watches", because I certainly don't watch as many films each week as I buy.

Not gonna stop, though. See you next week, faithful reader.
