See, while I think this a valid perspective, I am baffled by the need people have to see movies look realistic. You live in realism every day. I want to movies to look interesting, otherworldly, and beautiful. I want every frame to look like a painting. Realism's fucking boring. Like, it's a visual medium, why accept anything short of visually stunning?

Every time I watch In The Mood For Love, I'm bummed that all movies don't look like that, you know?

Y'all need to see the OG anti-nazi movie, Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, which he made in 1939.

Places that aren't home or work. Social places, like bars.

Check out Soularr, pretty new, scripts to integrate slskd and lidarr, works great for me paired with Deezer downloading through arr-scripts.

The bc libs were unrelated to federal libs, and were in fact a conservative party. They "collapsed" when they all switched parties to avoid splitting the right wing vote.

Op is talking about the NB election.

I'll echo what most people here are saying, Jellyfin (which is what I use) or something with the subsonic API, and Symfonium. It's non-free, but it's a cheap one-time payment and it's genuinely an excellent mobile app.

As far as building your library, I do use Lidarr, but it's a lot more hit-and-miss than Radarr or Sonarr are for their respective mediums. For music, much like back in the day, Soulseek is still the best option. In fact, you can selfhost slskd, which is a great modern web interface for it.

Genius. When paired with his wife Gena Rowlands, responsible for some of the greatest films of the era. Check out Love Streams, A Woman Under The Influence, and Opening Night, among others.

I've been saying for a long time that as a Canadian, you can predict the future. Just look across the border, and what you see down there will be arriving here in 10-15 years.

 

With today's news of Letterboxd being acquired by an investment company, I got to wondering if I should start weaning my movie obsession off of there and onto something more open before the inevitable enshittification begins. I did a cursory search and found nothing promising, but figured the braintrust here might know something I don't!
