The 100-Week Roundup
The 100-Week Roundup will cover films I still haven’t reviewed 100 weeks after watching them. Most of the time that’ll be in the form of quick thoughts, perhaps even copy-and-pasting the notes I made while viewing, rather than ‘proper’ reviews. Today’s are... Das Boot: The Director's Cut and IdentityRead more here.
More next Sunday.

1x12 Heartbreak
Would I Lie To You?
12x06 Episode 6 [3rd watch]
Watched this again because it was an easy go-to on iPlayer. Had forgotten it was that episode. The final round is a classic.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week's additions include the complete X Files on Blu-ray... except for the first movie, which I bought just a week or two ago. I already had seasons 1-9 and both movies on DVD, so in terms of additions it's only seasons 10 and 11 that are new. But those upgrades are on fewer discs on Blu, meaning that even with two extra seasons it adds 0 to the disc count. The switch from sped-up PAL to original speed on the Blu-rays will mean it still adds significantly to next week's running time update, though.
Numbers are still up healthily this week -- not as much in other recent weeks, but a decent amount nonetheless. And, because I can't stop myself, I've got a tonne more stuff in the post that will land me with another properly big increase next week (unless all deliveries get stopped before they can arrive or something).
Number of titles in collection: 2,323 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 1,110 [down 2]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,213 [up 7]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 45 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 6,039 [up 5]
Number of films: 2,714 [up 3]
Number of TV episodes: 8,807 [up 15]
Number of short films: 691 [up 1]
See you next week, faithful reader.

1x08 Time of Death

A two-parter. The first half is a measured depiction of what actually happens when a cop shoots someone; the second half is an overblown remix of The Raid. Shame.

I hadn't even heard of this before it appeared on the IMDb Top 250, seemingly at random. But I'm glad it did, because... no spoilers! But if you like twisty thrillers, trust me: read nothing, just go watch this (it's on Netflix, in the UK at least).

The Lion King (2019)
it’s like a cover song from a TV talent show: a reasonable approximation of the original, although clearly not as good, with unnecessarily added riffs and tricks as the cover artist struggles in vain to “make it their own” while not fundamentally deviating from what made the original so beloved.Read more here.
