Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Three new additions this week. I really thought it was going to be zero — only one is a new release, and that was coming from HMV, who usually get things to me for Monday these days. The other two were a bit of an impulse buy from an Amazon offer ending tomorrow (which I only learnt about because I happened to browse the Blu-ray.com forums for something else). One of those is the extras-less 4K of The Fifth Element, which I've avoided in the hopes of a proper edition with special features. I finally caved for a reasonable price... so I bet they finally announce a proper edition now.
Number of titles in collection: 3,311 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,002 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,309 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 361 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 8,008 [up 5]
Number of films: 4,082 [up 3]
Number of additional cuts: 388 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,720 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,146 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader, when hopefully there'll be three more additions — all the way from Australia!

Critical Role
2x36 O Captain, Who's Captain? [2nd half]
"Even though we've made some mistakes, and will probably continue to, feels like we're a little bit better when we're together. This other fellow in the group, Mollymauk, he sort of showed us that... by dying."

Critical Role
2x35 Dockside Diplomacy [2nd half]
"The guards are going, 'hey! Hey! Halt!' And they're drawing and loading crossbows. You are not stopping, you are not hailing, you are not listening to anything they're saying. They assume you are stealing a ship... which you are." 🤣
"This is the stupidest thing."
"This is great. This is D&D, motherfuckers."

Critical Role
2x35 Dockside Diplomacy [1st half]
With this episode, I'm a quarter of the way through Campaign 2. It feels like I've kept up a steady pace, sometimes fast (i.e. I've watched Critical Role to the detriment of watching other films and TV), and it's still taken me almost four months to get this far. If I don't let up, I still won't finish Campaign 2 until around about this time next year! And then there's Campaign 3, which by then should be almost as long as Campaign 2... Crikey.
This might sound like a negative way to look at it, but, I mean, while it is nice that there's lots to go because I really enjoy it, it would also be nice to be caught up, y'know?

The Great Escaper (2023)
Kidnapping by Indians (1899)
The first ever Western film... and it was a British production! It's also rubbish; literally only of interest for its historical significance. But if you want, you can watch it (free) at the BFI.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
It's an all new release special this week... special only because they're all new releases, not for any other particular reason. A mix of stuff out last Monday and next Monday that arrived early, which feels like an increasingly uncommon occurrence, so is nice... not that I have time to watch any of them this weekend, so it's a moot point really. Anyway, five new titles, including one BD-to-4K upgrade.
Somewhat of note: this little lot sees me pass 8,000 discs in my collection. Crikey. Just how many of them are redundant DVD copies in Blu-rays / Blu-ray copies in 4Ks / etc? I dread to think...
Number of titles in collection: 3,308 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,002 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,306 [up 4]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 359 [up 3]
