Collection Count

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

This week, two new releases (one from this week, The Story of Film: A New Generation, and one from next, The King's Man) and two on offer. One of the latter two should really count as an upgrade from DVD (The Shawshank Redemption), but the DVD set I've got is rather nice, so I'm hanging on to it, at least for the time being.

Number of titles in collection: 2,786 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,731 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 154 [up 3]

Number of discs in collection: 6,976 [up 7]
Number of films: 3,316 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 252 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,237 [no change]
Number of short films: 949 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

Finally reading the last James Bond novel (it's only been four years since it came out!) before the new one is released this summer. (This is exactly what I did last time.)

2 new reviews were published to 100Films.co.uk this week...


Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

I don’t know if Afterlife’s detractors will come round to it with time. Frankly, I don’t really care — if they didn’t enjoy it, that’s their business. At worst, it’s their loss, because this is an appropriately fun and affectionate addition to the franchise.

Mass (2021)

The fact Mass been relegated to the status of a “Sky Original” in the UK might mislead you (not all their “original” acquisitions are bad, but the first few were dregs that distributors clearly didn’t want to send to cinemas and neither Netflix nor Amazon had any interest in, and they’ve not done much to turn that reputation around). This, however, is a blisteringly emotional gut-punch that definitely merits your time.

Collection Count

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

No new releases this week — which, if I were truly, properly trying to cut back on my new acquisitions, would mean there'd be nothing to report here. Of course, I'm a sucker for sales, offers, and general recommendations, and that's how I've still wound up with four additions this week (one an upgrade from regular BD to 4K).

Number of titles in collection: 2,782 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,727 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 151 [up 2]

Number of discs in collection: 6,969 [up 5]
Number of films: 3,312 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 252 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,237 [no change]
Number of short films: 949 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.
