Macbeth
The Royal Shakespeare Company production from 2018, starring Christopher Eccleston and Niamh Cusack. It's already available on iPlayer as part of the Culture in Quarantine series, and will also be shown on BBC Four tomorrow (Sunday) night. I posted some thoughts on Letterboxd, and will expand on them further in my next 100 Films TV column.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
For once, this week's updates are exactly what you see -- no upgrades, partial or full; no hidden recounts -- just four new titles, with nine discs between them, containing 11 feature-length films and 15 short films.
But there's a bunch of stuff currently in the post or on order that should make next week's update both fairly big (if they all turn up) and as fiddly as normal.
Number of titles in collection: 2,382 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,101 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,281 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 62 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 6,163 [up 9]
Number of films: 2,674 [up 11]
Number of additional cuts: 172 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 8,900 [no change]
Number of short films: 749 [up 15]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Daniel Sloss: X
Only just found out about this, because it hasn't had a proper UK release. It's well worth seeking out, though -- both hilarious and insightful.

this week on 100 Films
No reviews at 100 Films in a Year this week, but there were a couple of other posts. Firstly, a new month began this week (yep, that was only this week), so, as always, it was time to look back at the one just gone...
I also reached my 2,000th film. It was...
Click/tap the picture for more about that.
More (hopefully reviews) next Sunday.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
In a very rare occurrence, I actually bought a new DVD this week... but it replaces two old DVDs, so the DVD count still goes down! Poor old DVD, there's just no winning anymore. Actually, that said, although one of the UHD titles I bought this week was a DVD-to-UHD upgrade, the UHD release doesn't include all of the old special features, so I'll be hanging onto the DVD. A DVD victory!
Number of titles in collection: 2,378 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,101 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,277 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 61 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 6,154 [up 13]
Number of films: 2,663 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 172 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 8,900 [up 6]
Number of short films: 734 [no change]
