Fiction

The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
13 The Adventure of the Second Stain [the end]

Considering I only opened this up as an interim measure between novels, it feels like an achievement to finish off another volume — and a very good story to end on, too... although I might just read some more Holmes next.

Collection Count

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

The headliner this week, as far as I'm concerned, is John Woo's Hard Boiled on 4K UHD from Arrow. There was a time when Woo's movies from that time were among a whole bunch of classics that seemed like they might never get released again due to rights reasons. I even caved and bought some bootlegs a while ago, just to get them in HD (I do still have DVDs knocking around). It's wonderful that we now get proper restorations in full UHD.

Number of titles in collection: 3,675 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 965 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,710 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 518 [up 3]

Number of discs in collection: 8,824 [up 6]
Number of films: 4,724 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 487 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 10,134 [up 2]
Number of short films: 1,293 [no change]

Also, it's time for the latest monthly running time update...

Total running time of collection (approx.):
616 days, 8 hours, and 16 minutes.
(Up 13 hours and 30 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.
