School of Rock (2003)
[3rd watch]
Rewatchathon 2018 #39. According to my records this was my third watch of School of Rock, which is weird because I only remember seeing it once. Are my records wrong, or my memory? Probably I saw it twice fairly close together or something. Anyhow, I've decided to trust past-me's record keeping.

Collection Count

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

After a landmark occasion last week (1,000 Blu-rays! My first 4K discs!), this week has nothing to report. So I've added a new stat to track my 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. I've counted them as a subset of Blu-rays because, well, they are (plus most/all UHD releases contain a regular Blu-ray copy anyhow). It's listed as "no change" because, of course, I actually bought them last week.

Number of titles in collection: 2,153 [no change]
Of which DVDs: 1,153 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,000 [no change]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 2 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 5,525 [no change]
Number of films: 2,402 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 8,294 [no change]
Number of short films: 636 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

I don't think I'll ever have had enough of Christopher McQuarrie talking about how he made Mission: Impossible. This two-part interview, transcribed from a Q&A after a screening of the film, sees him on as fine form as ever.
