Collection Count

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

This week's big addition is a complete series box set of The Twilight Zone, in this beautiful (overpriced, but beautiful) 60th Anniversary Limited Edition. That'll make a hefty contribution to the next running time update (which is a couple of weeks away).

I also acquired another TV series set this week, so the total number of episodes in my collection has risen considerably (though still by less than 2.2% overall!)

Number of titles in collection: 2,234 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,132 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,102 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 29 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 5,800 [up 30]
Number of films: 2,558 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 8,609 [up 182]
Number of short films: 669 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

this week on 100 Films

I'm currently in the middle of moving house, which is why there have been fewer than usual updates here, and it's the same over at 100 Films in a Year. The only thing this week was my monthly look-back at May, which doesn't even have a proper header image yet...


The Surprisingly Thorough Considering How Quickly I Dashed It Off Monthly Review of May 2019

I’m going to have to make this quick, because I’m actually right in the middle of a house move. The palaver around that has led to regular tail-offs in posting over the past few months, and during May in particular, though it hasn’t had too much affect on my actual viewing, as you’ll soon see (June may be another story, but that’s next month’s discussion). That’s also why there isn’t my usual header image for this post — they take a disproportionality long time to put together (whereas the post itself is still fairly lengthy because, as the famous adage alludes, it’s easier to write something long than something short).

Read more here.


More next Sunday (hopefully).

Collection Count

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

This week, it's the running time update. This should've been published last week, but I was away from home without the info with me; and there were no new additions last week, so there was nothing else to report anyway.

Number of titles in collection: 2,227 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,132 [up 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,095 [no change]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 26 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 5,759 [up 1]
Number of films: 2,551 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 8,427 [no change]
Number of short films: 667 [no change]

Total running time of collection (approx.):
421 days, 14 hours, and 52 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 3 hours, and 54 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.

Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra: Live at the Royal Albert Hall
I've owned this on Blu-ray since 2011, unwatched... and finally watched it on Amazon Prime, because that's what I had accessible at the time. Big eyeroll at myself. Anyway, it was fantastic, so I'll watch it again on Blu-ray someday.

this week on 100 Films

Just one new post this week at 100 Films in a Year, and it wasn't even about films. It's another premature TV review, primarily to cover the series finale of Game of Thrones, but with a few other things too...
