The Naked Gun (2025)
[#7 in The 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2026]

Fiction

Swords in the Mist by Fritz Leiber
VI. Adept's Gambit Chapters 1–2

The longest Lankhmar story so far (it's got chapters! Or numbered sections, at any rate, and what are those if not chapters?)

Video Games

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition

Good old "I'll just pop into Skyrim for a few minutes, do this one thing... but while I'm here... oh, and also..." and suddenly it's been well over an hour and you still feel like you've "just done a couple of things".

Collection Count

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

Only one new addition this week, although it is a five-film box set. It's also time for the monthly running time update (we're 1/6th through 2025 already!), but quite a few of this month's additions were upgrades (including one new copy of Thunderbirds replacing two old ones), which means it's not as much of an increase as my physical pile of recent purchases would've made me think.

Number of titles in collection: 3,668 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 974 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,694 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 508 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 8,809 [up 3]

Number of additional cuts: 484 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 10,163 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,282 [no change]

615 days, 18 hours, and 46 minutes.
(Up 18 hours and 34 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.
