The Italian Job (2003)
[2nd watch]
Rewatchathon 2019 #11

The original Italian Job is so gloriously '60s — irreverent, mischievous, anarchic — but I do enjoy the blockbuster slickness of the remake as well.

Collection Count

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

This week's additions include the latest Doctor Who: The Collection box set release, covering season 18. For the first time in this range, it allows me to ditch the DVD copies of every story in the season (as they go about these re-releases they're moving some of the old special features around, so I'm hanging on to some DVDs just in case they never finish the project and I still want those extras). For similar reasons, it also allows me to get rid of a DVD that was rereleased in a different Blu-ray box set, meaning the net total of TV episodes actually goes down a little.

I also acquired two new film Blu-rays, which altogether sends the numbers into the following tizzy of varying ups and downs...

Number of titles in collection: 2,193 [down 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,135 [down 4]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,058 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 22 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 5,690 [up 3]
Number of films: 2,512 [up 2]
Number of TV episodes: 8,423 [down 3]
Number of short films: 654 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

Shaft (2000)
[#37 in 100 Films in a Year 2019]
Would it've been cool if they'd gone ahead and called this Shaft 2000? I feel like it would've. Maybe by the year 2000 the idea that sticking 2000 on a title would make it cool was over, I dunno, but I feel like it would've worked. (And because they didn't, by this summer we'll have three movies called simply Shaft that all actually exist in the same continuity. Madness.)

TV

Deadwood
1x05 The Trial of Jack McCall [2nd watch]

+ the audio commentary by actors Brad Dourif and Robin Weigert. It was only sporadically illuminating again, bit I kind of feel I've committed myself to watching them now.

Deadwood
1x04 Here Was a Man [2nd watch]

+ the audio commentary by actors Molly Parker and Keith Carradine. It starts off even more reticent than Milch’s on the pilot, but there are a couple of interesting nuggets.
