If anyone here likes Japanese animation and hasn't seen Satoshi Kon's work, specifically Perfect Dark and Paprika, stop what you're doing right now and fix that.

Last night I watched Red Room (2023) which was excellent, one of the scariest movies I've seen in ages, and not a moment of gore.

Couple days ago I watched Todd Haynes' Far From Home (2003) without knowing ahead of time that it was a remix of Douglas Sirk's 50s melodramas, but it was a really pleasant surprise. It inspired me to watch Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats The Soul which I unsurprisingly enjoyed a little less as I've never been quite able to connect with his more bleak takes on relationships.

Is it open source, or is it owned by a private company? Looks exactly like the kind of thing that'll be great for a few years and then become enshittified, like all for-profit software inevitably seems to.

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.

Just tell Brendan to shut up.

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.
