Canada. I live in Vancouver, which is a notoriously expensive housing market (but the rest of the country is rapidly catching up!).

House would be nice, but detached houses in my neighborhood are currently selling for 3-4 million, so I'll stay in my nice affordable apartment.

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.

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