Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
[#220 in 100 Films in a Year 2020]
Live and Let Die (1973)
[4th watch]
Rewatchathon 2020 #40. It was James Bond day today, so it seemed only right to watch a Bond film. The date marks the release of the first Bond film, but I watched the first Roger Moore one instead because, well, that's where I'm at in my rewatch (which has been going on since this anniversary in 2012. Eight films in eight years? That's not deliberate, I've just accidentally been horrendously tardy. But I better pick up the pace, otherwise it's going to take until 2036 just to get to Spectre again…)

this week on 100 Films
A new month meant a new monthly review over at 100 Films in a Year this week...
And there was 1 new film review, too...
Enola Holmes (2020)
More next Sunday.
And there was 1 new film review, too...
Enola Holmes (2020)
As a story set in the world of Sherlock Holmes, Enola Holmes is… well… um… but then, it’s not really about him. While I don’t imagine Sherlockians will be inducting this into their favourite screen iterations of the Great Detective, it works as a female-led YA mystery-adventure.Read more here.
More next Sunday.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Finally, as promised, the much-delayed monthly running time update!
Before I get to that, I also removed those titles I mentioned last week. That would've sent several stats down (in reality, it should've just been fewer increases last week rather than decreases this week), but I also bought some new stuff (of course), so there are actually some increases instead.
Number of titles in collection: 2,448 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,088 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,360 [up 2]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 77 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 6,297 [up 2]
Number of films: 2,773 [up 5]
Number of additional cuts: 187 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 8,964 [no change]
Number of short films: 764 [no change]
Total running time of collection (approx.):
457 days and 14 hours exactly.
(Up 1 day, 9 hours, and 17 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.

Music
Mouth Dreams by Neil Cicierega
So, recently, apropos of nothing, I started listening to my favourite tracks from Neil Cicierega's Mouth albums again, for the first time in ages (here's when I first discovered them, a little over two years ago). After a few days of that, I decided I should look to see if he'd ever done a fourth one... only to find it just came out a couple of days ago! Life is weird. Anyway, of course I had to play it immediately.
You can listen to it for free here.

Completing a triple-bill with yesterday's film. (For those who don't know, Lost in La Mancha is about Terry Gilliam's failed attempt to film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, while He Dreams of Giants documents his success in making it almost 20 years later.)

Mission: Impossible II (2000)
[6th watch]
Rewatchathon 2020 #39. Continuing the 4K M:I rewatch that I started back in May. Didn't necessarily intend for them to be so spread out, but there's no rush either.

Jonathan Creek
5x01 The Letters of Septimus Noone
What an odd episode! We see the murder happen when it happens, leaving Jonathan to solve a mystery we already know the solution to. It’s like it was written and/or directed and/or edited by people who’ve never seen a murder mystery before. No wonder it’s the series’ lowest-rated episode on IMDb.
[Watch it (again) on iPlayer.]

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I promised one of those stats this week would be the delayed monthly running time update, but I've been too busy to sort that out; not to mention that this week's additions include some uncertainties.
How so? Well, I upgraded a DVD to Blu-ray, but I'm not sure if I'm keeping the DVD too; and I upgraded a pair of Blu-rays to a 4K box set, but I'm not sure if I'm keeping the Blu-rays too. I should probably get rid of them all (my collection can't keep expanding indefinitely!), but, I don't know, it's some kind of sentimental attachment, I guess.
For now, I've just added the additions and made no subtractions. My plan is to make decisions (hopefully "get rid of"!) by next week, in time for the very-delayed-but-definitely-going-to-happen 'monthly' running time update.
Number of titles in collection: 2,447 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,089 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,358 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 74 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 6,295 [up 10]
Number of films: 2,768 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 187 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 8,964 [no change]
