Articles
Two great interviews with fantastic interviewees:
Harrison Ford: “I Know Who the F*** I Am”
by James Hibberd (from The Hollywood Reporter)
Ford’s always amusing, and I think the interview did a better job of getting into ‘the real Harrison’ than they or he might admit.
Steven Soderbergh Can’t Quit
by Matt Zoller Seitz (from Vulture)
Soderbergh’s always so thoughtful and insightful, in a way that doesn’t feel put-on or self-aggrandised, but clear, focused, and honest. It’s part of why I’ll always happily watch anything he makes.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
After passing the 3,000 titles mark just a fortnight ago, I'm already on the cusp of another milestone: my Blu-rays alone are edging close to 2,000. In fact, with just seven additions to go 'til I cross that threshold, titles I've already pre-ordered suggest I should get there just in time for the next running time update. Unless anything gets delayed or takes its sweet time in the post, of course — that might push it back just a little. Time will tell...
Number of titles in collection: 3,027 [up 7]
Of which DVDs: 1,034 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,993 [up 7]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 237 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,469 [up 11]
Number of films: 3,703 [up 11]
Number of additional cuts: 303 [up 2]
Number of TV episodes: 9,512 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,041 [up 5]
See you next week, faithful reader.

41 A New Year Discussion with Powerhouse Films
Y'know, I definitely listened to an episode of this once before, but I don't seem to have logged it. Oops. Anyway, I'm back because so are the directors of Indicator, John Morrissey and Sam Dunn, to talk about their debut 4K titles. Though, they didn't talk about them as much as I'd expected. Still, some interesting stuff if you're a fan of how things are behind-the-scenes at boutique Blu-ray labels.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
After last week's craziness, a more modest one this week — although exciting in a different way, because it includes my first four titles from new label Radiance. They're suitably handsome editions.
Number of titles in collection: 3,020 [up 6]
Of which DVDs: 1,034 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,986 [up 6]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 235 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,458 [up 9]
Number of films: 3,692 [up 6]
Number of additional cuts: 301 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,512 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,036 [up 5]
That said, last week's bountifulness does factor into this week somewhat, as it's time once again for the monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
531 days and 47 minutes.
(Up 3 days, 1 hour, and 1 minute from last month.)

[2nd watch]
[#3 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2023]
I wasn't planning on rewatching this tonight, but I started it to check something for my review (which I intend to post tomorrow) and ended up sucked far enough in that I kept going. I like it quite a bit.
My Year of Dicks (2022)
One of the most memorable moments from today's Oscar nominations announcement was Riz Ahmed reading out the name of this short (especially with what followed it being equally as hilarious), so I had to watch it. Fortunately, it's available on Vimeo for free.
