this week on 100Films.co.uk

I ought to start calling these post "this month on 100Films.co.uk", because that's how often I've been posting updates for most of 2023 so far.

That's because my reviewing has collapsed into nothingness, so there's nothing to report most weeks. But, once a month, there's the monthly review — like this one for July...





And, at the same time, the list of things I failed to watch in the past month...





And that's it, most months. I usually sign off with "more next Sunday", but let's be honest, it's more likely to be "more next month".

Though, you never know...

Collection Count

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

I've been placing lots of expensive orders this week (the last Evangelion movie for £50; importing an Australian release of the Dune miniseries (with a LEGO set!) for a little over £100; amongst others), but only one title has actually arrived to bolster my collection (that being Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, which looks like a ton of fun).

Number of titles in collection: 3,123 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,028 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,095 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 271 [up 1]

Number of discs in collection: 7,652 [up 1]
Number of films: 3,832 [up 1]
Number of additional cuts: 335 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,611 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,062 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader, when there'll definitely be more — I've got a big-ish sale order from the US arriving Wednesday. And that's just in time for the monthly running time update, too. Exciting times.

Collection Count

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

As mentioned at the end of last week's update, I wasn't expecting anything new for this week. That can always change, of course — I do have a habit of ordering stuff on a whim. But not this week, with my money instead going into other things (comics, books, CDs) and preorders (it used to be all preorders were charged at the point of dispatch; these days, unless you're ordering from Amazon, most seem to be charged when you order. Gotta say, I dislike that — it means I need the money now, rather than knowing I've got an expensive month coming up and being able to prepare).

Anyway, on with the stats... which are, in fact, slightly different from last week. Having looked through all the special features of the Bruce Lee sets I own on DVD, Blu-ray, and now 4K, I found I could definitely sell... one DVD. So that's gone.

Number of titles in collection: 3,122 [down 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,028 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,094 [no change]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 270 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 7,651 [down 1]
Number of films: 3,831 [down 1]
Number of additional cuts: 335 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,611 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,062 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

Brick America: An Adventure in LEGO Bricks
at American Museum & Gardens

I don't use categories like "Museums" often. Mainly because I don't have call to often; and so, when I do, sometimes I forget. But this I remembered, because it was fun. It runs until the end of the year and is worth a visit if you're local and/or LEGO is your kinda thing.

The Calm (2003)
A BMW short film, produced as "an homage" to their great short film series, The Hire. It's not as good as any of those were, but it's not bad. You can watch it here.
