Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
A solid but not huge update this week, with four new additions (one a BD-to-4K upgrade). But this post is a couple of days late because it was also time for the monthly running time update, including all the busy last few weeks, and I needed a bit of time to add all that up. Results below...
Number of titles in collection: 2,885 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,050 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,835 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 188 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,172 [up 6]
Number of films: 3,448 [up 2]
Number of additional cuts: 273 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,336 [up 13]
Number of short films: 994 [up 1]
Total running time of collection (approx.):
513 days, 12 hours, and 10 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 15 hours, and 17 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.

Les Misérables
UK & Ireland Tour at Bristol Hippodrome
I've seen Les Mis on stage before — before this blog began, in 2006 (if I remember rightly). This was a 'new' staging ('new' in 2009), which was pretty impressive. The film is good 'n' all, but I think the show plays best on stage.

The Room Two
Popped back onto this for the first time in a while. Accidentally finished it. The narrative's not up to much, but the puzzles are quite fun. I expect I'll get the next one, too.

1x01 Failure's Contagious
We're already guaranteed at least four seasons of this spy thriller on Apple TV+, so it's a good thing it's off to a strong start. With its grounded, washed-up spooks, it's a bit like a more dryly humourous version of Le Carré. Let's hope it's got the same smarts to pull that off all the way to the finish.

If you were wondering why I'm watching such a random week of House of Games (no one was, but still), it's because it's the only week still available on iPlayer that I've never seen. But once it's done, I do have a load of older ones downloaded.

Comics
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #47 by CRC Payne & StarBite
Someone posted a gag from this on Twitter, which led me to the full thing (which I'd never heard of before), and... well, the gag they shared was the primary punchline to the whole comic, so there wasn't much point reading it. But it's a decent gag.

Flight of the Amazon Queen
Having enjoyed my replay of the Monkey Island games, I've been looking for more point-and-click-style adventure games to play — and, thanks to sales and whatnot, I've ended up with quite a few to choose from. So, this is where I've decided to start. Why? Not sure, really. It was originally released in 1995, and I vaguelly remember being aware of it back in the day and wanting to play it (because it's Indiana Jones-inspired and I've always loved Indiana Jones), but I never did. So now I finally am. Hurrah!

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
When this week began, it was possible it was going to be a completely dead one. Well, that's... not how things turned out. Between preorders turning up early and some quick-shipping sale buys, there's a grand total of 12 new acquisitions this week. Four of them are upgrades to previous editions, including the second Dalek movie in 4K meaning, my old double-film BD set is removed from the stats (as mentioned when I got the first film in 4K).
Number of titles in collection: 2,882 [up 8]
Of which DVDs: 1,050 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,832 [up 9]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 186 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 7,166 [up 11]
