Just 1 new post on 100 Films in a Year this week...
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
More, perhaps, next Sunday.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
it moves like the clappers and is committed to being almost relentlessly entertaining. Perhaps it’s a little hardcore for younger fans (and even that aspect has lessened with age, with the chest-ripping special effects looking a little ropey nowadays), but otherwise, what’s there to complain about?Read more here.
More, perhaps, next Sunday.
Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week, I finally got round to upgrading Torchwood series one and two from DVD to Blu-ray. Not sure why — bit of a whim. So two more DVDs go, two more Blu-rays are gained, and overall two discs are lost — although that last one is masked because I also acquired two films on Blu-ray.
Number of titles in collection: 2,605 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 1,071 [down 2]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,534 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 102 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 6,600 [no change]
Number of films: 3,032 [up 2]
Number of additional cuts: 221 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,075 [no change]
Number of short films: 867 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Pillow of Death (1945)
[#116 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
The sixth and final Inner Sanctum Mystery. The series had its moments, but, overall, it's hardly a forgotten gem. I'm not sorry I watched them, but unlike, say, the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films, I won't be in a hurry to rewatch them.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
[5th or so watch]
Rewatchathon 2021 #18
Picking up my Indy rewatch after a longer-than-intended pause. As with Raiders, the watch count is a guess — I have no idea how many times I saw this as a child. It felt like loads, but I was never one of those kids who watched things again and again and again on loop, so it might only have been a couple of times. I guess that's what my count is assuming, anyway. Anyway, the film is really good; probably my favourite Indy movie.

Toby Hadoke's Who's Round
149 Russell T Davies Part 6
150 Russell T Davies Part 7
The end of the epic RTD interview. Even though they chatted for three hours, I could've listened to RTD discuss Who for three hours more; and probably more beyond that, to be honest.

Collection Count

Absolutely nothing to report this week! There aren't too many new releases on the horizon, either. Well, it depends how you define "the horizon": there are tonnes coming later in the year, but not in the next couple of weeks. Never rule out sale purchaes, though — I'm now expecting something next week, in fact.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
[#115 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
+ the only special feature, a 25-minute featurette titled Road to Justice League, which is broadly promotional in tone and therefore not particularly insightful. A full-on Snyder commentary would've been nice.

Doctor Who
Doctors Assemble
This 15-minute mini-adventure was produced for the Doctor Who watchalong events back in the first lockdown, in May last year. I didn't notice it at the time, but somehow came across it today. It's quite fun. I wrote a few more thoughts on Letterboxd.
