BBC Worldwide to include Widow on Series Seven Box Set
by Marcus (from Doctor Who News)
Well thank goodness for common sense! Though even while fixing a point of stupidity, they still come across as moronic:
Which previous specials had been released as a standalone product before being included in the subsequent box set? Only all of them. But hey, if something's gone down without complaint for six years in a row, why not do the complete opposite on the seventh?
Morons.
Oh, and it looks like the US set has quite a few more special features. The UK listing released so far wasn't as thoroughly broken down as that in fairness, but nonetheless there are several things there that aren't even hinted at being on the UK set. Boo, Worldwide -- BOO.

Well thank goodness for common sense! Though even while fixing a point of stupidity, they still come across as moronic:
Originally the decision was taken not to include this release on the box set as it had previously been released as a standalone product.

Doctor Who - Complete Seventh Series boxset [UPDATE]
(from Blogtor Who)
Confirmation that the 'complete' series seven set will not include the 2011 Christmas special -- in the UK. The US set will get it just fine.
If you think this is moronic (which it is), you can let BBC Worldwide know that here.

this fortnight on 100 Films
I was away last weekend (and there wasn't much to report anyway), so here's a look back at the last two weeks on 100 Films in a Year.
Firstly, earlier this week I was accepted as a member of the LAMB -- or, the Large Association of Movie Blogs, to give its full title. So that's nice, isn't it? Read more here.
Secondly (and finally), there was just one brand-new review published in the last fortnight...
Broken Arrow (1996)
More next Sunday.

Broken Arrow (1996)
In his second Hollywood outing, Hong Kong action maestro John Woo (over-)directs his little heart out: there’s an endless array of slightly hilarious slow-mo, crash zooms, etc.Read more here.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week's only acquisition is the rather-pretty Zavvi-exclusive Close Encounters Steelbook. Though it includes all three cuts of the film (in HD, obv.), it doesn't appear to include any of the extras from the three-disc DVD I have, so I guess I keep both. Annoyingly, the three-disc DVD is missing some of the extras from the 2-disc BD. Why that second disc isn't in the Steelbook, Sony only knows.
Number of titles in collection: 1,585 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,168 [no change]

Complete Series Seven Boxed Set announced
by Chuck Foster (from Doctor Who News)
Once upon a time, Doctor Who DVDs came with commentaries on every single episode. Sometimes there were additional commentaries online, meaning there are a good few episodes with two of the things. Now, we get a 15-episode set with just four tracks. To rub salt in the wound, none are on any of Amy & Rory's final episodes. Not a one.
Oh, wait, did I say "15-episode set"? Because apparently the 2011 Christmas special isn't included. 'Complete' my whatsit! But the set does include the prequel to that special, just to make sure you know the episode itself isn't there.
And to top it off, it looks as though we may be missing an extra from the US release. I don't know if I care about seeing "Doctor Who on The Nerdist" -- I probably don't, in fact -- but it's the principle.
