3x00 Happy New Year from David Tennant & Michael Sheen
Somehow I missed that this short seasonal special existed when it came out last year. Better late than never, eh? Plus I'm intending to catch the third series on BritBox over Christmas, so now's as good a time to catch up as any.

Quatermass 2 (1957)
[#83 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]
I'd been thinking about watching one of the three-hour films I have left on my Blindspot list today. In the end, I only had time for one of the shortest films I could find on my "series I'm in the middle of" list. Ho hum.

Would you Adam and Eve it, we're already into the final month of the year! And that means it was time for 100Films.co.uk's usual look backs at last month, starting with the general November review...
...and concluding with the list of films I failed to watch last month:
Additionally, on Thursday the results of the new once-a-decade Sight & Sound poll were revealed, so I wrote up a piece about that (to accompany the 2012 one from a couple of weeks ago)...
And I even published some reviews, too...

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I should've had loads to report this week, but a combination of postal strikes and their resultant strain on courier services seems to be holding up almost all of my (many) deliveries. Under normal circumstances, I think I'd've been talking about there being 15 new titles this week; instead, there's only three — including a DVD-to-4K upgrade for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, meaning the overall increase is just two.
No matter. At some point these delayed orders are probably going to pour in all at once, possibly with other stuff that hasn't even shipped yet. Any huge leaps aren't cancelled, merely delayed. Or possibly spread thin. We'll see.
Number of titles in collection: 2,967 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 1,039 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,928 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 214 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,336 [up 4]
Number of films: 3,576 [up 1]
Number of additional cuts: 295 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,445 [up 13]
Number of short films: 1,019 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Titles continue to filter in from that list of 15 — though they've not all turned up yet (the post is being weird at the minute, and not just because of strikes), and I'm ordering more stuff, plus more stuff I preordered is coming out, so it's getting diluted/increased. Anyway, there are four additions to report this week, including a couple of multi-film sets that make for some big increases...
Number of titles in collection: 2,965 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,040 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,925 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 212 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,332 [up 13]

Number of additional cuts: 294 [up 4]
Number of TV episodes: 9,432 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,019 [up 2]
Also, last week I pushed the monthly running time update back to this week. It still took me time to figure it all out, though, which is why this post is several days later than normal. For what it's worth, it still only counts as far as last Saturday, with stuff that turned up since being held back for the next count.
Total running time of collection (approx.):
523 days, 9 hours, and 43 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 10 hours, and 22 minutes from last month.)

[#79 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2022]
It didn't count the first time because there was no category it qualified in, but this rewatch can count. Does this kind of thing mean my rules are too complicated now? Or is it just because I'm prone to finding ways to circumvent/use them cleverly? Not sure...
