I miss the old days, where if a franchise got to 7 or 8 installments, the budget would have shrunk and the ideas would have become insane. In a just world, Jurassic Park 8 would be a straight-to-dvd release that takes place in space or something.

Using lidarr with the arr-extended scripts, soularr and slskd is the way. Add the music to your jellyfin server, stream with symfonium.

You could take a look at: https://github.com/ghomasHudson/Jellyfin-Auto-Collections/

It takes trakt, letterboxed, imdb, etc lists and turns them into Jellyfin collections, so you could probably feed it lists of trending movies and just run the script at an interval and have it update your collections.

Still can't get the collections to show on the front page without some weird plugin hackery, but it's a step in the right direction.

Using "well at least it's not as bad in America" in these contexts is both dismissive of valid criticism and also a staggeringly low bar

Corel Linux in the late 90s, but didn't actually go full time until Ubuntu in 05,followed by arch for a few years, now on mint.

I'm not sure why you're trying to argue this stuff. This is a thread about movies you can't be convinced are good. I'm not trying to convince you, I'm stating that I liked the David Lynch Dune considerably more than the new ones. Feel free to take that or leave it, art's not really objective, dude.

This is how I felt about all the Nolan Batman movies, except it was Batman himself I couldn't take seriously because of Bale's ridiculous Cookie Monster voice. I think I burst out laughing in the theatre when I first heard it.

This is 100% the point. This is why oligarchs threw in with Trump. It's exactly the same reasoning to defund the IRS, so they don't have the manpower to go after the big fish.

I thought watching the new ones was like watching paint dry. At least Lynch's version had some personality.

Yeah, I'd rather watch the Lynch version anytime, the new ones are like 6 hours of bland, boring choices and wooden performances.

Women in Love, definitely Ken Russell's masterpiece.

 

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!
