this week on 100Films.co.uk
It's been all quiet recently at 100Films.co.uk, but a new month began this week, and that means a review of the previous one...
And with it, March's failures...
More next Sunday.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Another moderate week this time, with three new additions, all imports from the US. It's also time for the monthly running time udpate, where all those 'moderate' weeks can sometimes add up to something bigger... though, with all the "surprisingly big" weeks I've had in the past couple of years, I guess a gradual build-up isn't what it once was.
Number of titles in collection: 2,803 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,748 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 163 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,011 [up 5]
Number of films: 3,337 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 254 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,266 [no change]
Number of short films: 957 [up 2]
Plus this week it's time for a running time update, so...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
503 days, 7 hours, and 46 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 21 hours, and 42 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader, when the confluence of new releases and sales orders should make it a fairly large one.

The 94th Annual Academy Awards
aka the Oscars. Well, they're certainly being talked about, though I'd guess not in the way the Academy wanted. For me, it was a mixed bag: some of the jokes and whatnot were fine, but a lot were dreadful; there were some nice wins and sweet moments, but the show overall was a bizarre mishmash that didn't work; and The Slap... was The Slap.

Oscars Night Live
Sky's two-hour Oscars pre-show, with very little red carpet gumph (hurrah!) but also the surprising revelation that Alex Zane and his guests wouldn't continue chatting to us throughout the US's ad breaks this year. I know the UK studio stuff isn't to everyone's taste, but I kinda missed it, especially given how much there it turned out there was to talk about during this year's show.

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Four additions this week — two brand-new, two in an offer — but one is also an upgrade, meaning I land on a nice round 2,800 titles. I'll be at 3K before we know it!

Agatha Christie: 100 Years of Poirot and Miss Marple
Basic overview of the works of Agatha Christie. If you're a diehard fan, I doubt you'll learn anything, but it's a solid primer for newcomers — and, crucially, doesn't spoil any of the twists!

My Life in a Mixtape
Andrew Garfield
Didn't mean to listen to this, but happened to have the radio on when it started and ended up sticking with it. Not sure that counts as a recommendation, really, but here it is.
