Collection Count

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

This week brings a new addition to the Doctor Who: The Collection Blu-rays in the form of Season 24. I have them all on DVD too, of course, but I'm upgrading them with these Blu-rays — but only ditching the DVDs once all their special features have appeared in The Collection (some are being rearranged to more appropriate seasons). In the case of season 24, two of the stories still have an exclusive extra on the DVDs, so I'll keep them for now.

I also picked up a bunch of titles in HMV's Premium Collection sale, only one of which was also an upgrade, so there's all this going on:

Number of titles in collection: 2,622 [up 5]
Of which DVDs: 1,066 [down 3]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,556 [up 8]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 105 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 6,642 [up 17]
Number of films: 3,058 [up 6]
Number of additional cuts: 225 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,082 [up 7]
Number of short films: 868 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

this week on 100 Films

It's been an exceptionally quiet month on 100 Films in a Year, but this week I nonetheless presented my usual roundup of what went on...





Hopefully, there'll be more next Sunday.

The Invisible Man (1933)
[#125 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
[2nd watch]
Rewatchathon 2021 #19. I was trying to watch an awful lot of films I'd never seen before this weekend, to push my June tally up towards 20 films (and then reach that mark during the week). But I haven't even got close to where I needed to be (more like the low 130s than the mid 120s), so I gave up and rewatched this instead.

Superman and the Mole-Men (1951)
[#124 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]

Collection Count

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

It's time for the monthly running time update again — indeed, that's why this update is, once again, a day late (not that anyone cares).

And, also once again, I seem to have gone a bit crazy, with nine new purchases. Well, most of them are new releases that I've had on preorder for a while — stuff comes out when it comes out; it's not my fault if that means I end up getting seven new titles in one week (and two of those are actually out next week but arrived early, just to compound the issue). The other two newbies were, of course, sale buys — more in that vein next week.

Number of titles in collection: 2,617 [up 8]
Of which DVDs: 1,069 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,548 [up 9]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 105 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 6,625 [up 13]
Number of films: 3,052 [up 15]
Number of additional cuts: 225 [up 3]
Number of TV episodes: 9,075 [no change]
Number of short films: 868 [no change]


Total running time of collection (approx.):
479 days, 10 hours, and 15 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 11 hours, and 19 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.

A Brief History of Time Travel (2018)
[#123 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
Kinda apt that I ended with this on a day when alphabetisation means my viewing is listed in precise reverse chronological order...

The Mummy (1932)
[#122 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]

Rodan (1956)
[#121 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]

What! No Spinach? (1926)
[#120a in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
Included on the Seven Chances Blu-ray because of its "similar theme". Really, it's just a mini-rip-off of the Buster Keaton feature.

Collection Count

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

Six new additions this week, half of them on UHD. Four are upgrades to things I already owned, including all three UHDs, but in two cases I'm keeping my previous copy (one because it's in a box set, and also includes an alternate cut of the film, and the other because it has unique special features). All of which looks like this...

Number of titles in collection: 2,609 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,070 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,538 [up 5]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 105 [up 3]
