The Snoop isn’t happy with the LOTR box set as the benchmark:

And we shouldn’t use something as arbitrary as LOTR for our benchmark. I mean….witches and wizards? Prancing ponies? Elves that like dwarves? What’s it all about?

The Gentlemans benchmark should be something up the strasse of The (Sir) Micheal Caine Boxset. This timeless peice weighs in at 3 discs, 351 mins at a trivial cost of $370…..Now what on Middle Earth does that do to the graph?

Well:

and

Accidentally bought a few box sets at lunch.

Cracker series one - 364 mins, 3 discs, $375
Murder One - Case one - 1030 mins, 6 discs, $559
A Century of Flight - 502 mins, 4 discs, $238

When I was buying them, I felt the Century of Flight was a bargain.

Got me thinking — what does that look like on a graph? And what should be the benchmark? I tried the LOTR box set, movie only, as the benchmark (6 discs, 681 mins, $780).

Dollars per minute:

Yep. Corroborated. What if I compared price to number of discs, “what does it do to the graph?!” I hear you cry!

Again, Cracker performs the worst.

It looks like LOTR is an easy benchmark to beat. If you add in the other six discs, I wonder what happens to the graph? Do you?!

That’s better.
