The new one has sustained and pervasive sexual harassment as well?

Just some grumbling about streaming: Wanted to watch Paris, Texas. Couldn't find that it was available to stream (for free) anywhere and wanting to save the $3.59 for the rental, I picked the bluray up from the local library. Started watching it last night, made it 54min 26seconds into the movie before the disc stopped playing. Spent 45min cleaning the disc, trying it in my various other players, considering whether I should make a copy of it onto my computer then stream it from Plex. That will take an hour at best, assuming that drive can even read it. Say gently caress it, pay the $3.59 to rent it so I can actually watch the rest of the movie the same night. (Great movie.) Anyway, today I am ranting to a friend and they say, see if your library has access to Kanopy. They don't, but the place I work for does. Hey look, Paris, Texas, for free! Could have just watched it there from the get-go!! Kanopy does not seem to show up on any kind of "can I stream it?" lists anywhere. I loving hate playing the "where can I watch <thing> game" every single time.

I get Kanopy through my employer and my library. Depending on which login I use, certain things are available or not available. The "where can I watch this" problem sucks. You're right. There have some attempts to fix this. I know with the Apple TV app you can search for a show or movie and it will tell you what apps you have installed it can be streamed from, and then open them. It still needs a lot of work, and it also depends on if the app allowed itself to work with the TV app.

Kanopy shows up on Letterboxd’s “where can I watch” interface, and I have never had a case where it says something is on Kanopy and my library doesn’t carry it or something. Maybe I am just lucky?

https://www.justwatch.com/us/provider/kanopy It still shows a lot of kanopy content - it's not unusual to be broken for individual shows/movies; either missing something totally or linking to the wrong thing that shares a name.

Maybe I am just lucky? Depends on what the institution subscribes to. I also noticed something new. When I use my employer login, it's all you can eat. When I use my library login, I get 30 'tickets' a month. Movies cost different amounts of tickets to watch.

They just changed to the ticket stuff on Nov 1. I also just want to say, maybe it’s my particular library, but Kanopy rules. They always have a bunch of smaller movies I can’t find anywhere else for non-rental. I end up using almost all my credits every month.

Don't sleep on hoopla, which is a separate library streaming app. Worse interface but a lot of stuff from golden harvest. Also, my kanopy has a "kids" option that had a lot of animated picture books from scholastic which was really lovely when my kid was a certain age.

I wanted to like The Killer on Netflix. It has a great start, it's a sprint from the start to the end with little or no down time where characters explain the plot to you or develop it artificially, the guns are dangerous, the fist fighting is grueling but also fun to watch, and then...the ending is bad. Why on earth wouldn't he kill the billionaire after all of that? He knocks off the secretary and the cab driver, who were just doing their jobs, but leaves the guy who actually wanted all of it done because...the rich guy pretended not to understand the ramifications of what he was paying for? I must have missed a line of dialogue somewhere. I'd still recommend watching it, but click "play" before you see too much of the preview Netflix forces you to watch. Devil in Ohio on Netflix was just bad. It's a limited series about a girl who escapes from a cult out in rural Ohio and is taken in by a psychiatrist whose family starts to notice odd things about her. It's supposed to be a thriller or a spooky show, but it looks like an episode of Bones and Emily Deschanel plays her character from Bones. Maybe I just don't like Bones. I will accept that too. I Came By, also Netflix, has a pretty predictable setup, but goes in a slightly different direction than you might think. Not really in a surprising plot device kind of way, more like a "what the gently caress are you doing" sort of thing. I saw a lot of missed opportunities, but at least it's filmed like a horror movie and not lit like an episode of a sitcom like Devil in Ohio was. I really can't tell if it's bad, I was done with it halfway through but fans of British...well, anything, may not be able to stop watching. The scariest part was when I realized UK police don't need a warrant to search your house and the rights they read you include the line "you don't have to say anything, but it may hurt your defense if you don't." Yikes. At least American police pretend, they don't just come right out and say it.

Re: The Killer, I feel like there was plenty of time for the assassin to take a second shot instead of giving up. I’m pretty sure they show him loading a full clip into the gun. Afterwards why did he go home like the expert mentioned? What happened was his fault. Maybe that’s the point? Idk…it didn’t really click with me, but the hand to hand combat scene was good as gently caress.

The Killer ruled but i saw it in a real theater before it hit streaming so I was forbidden by my poster's honor from bringing it up until now. Best Agent 47 movie ever I also saw Riders of Justice recently and it loving rocked, its like a siller, less focused spiritual sequel to Another Round in that its a Danish movie starring Madds Mikkelsen going through a midlife crisis surrounded by a group of friends experiencing the same. Also it takes place at Christmastime so it has some nice holiday whimsy to it And finally, I saw Body of Lies and it was incredibly boring and a jarring reminder that Ridley Scott misses just as much as he hits. Were there any good action thrillers about the War on Terror? Wolfsheim fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Nov 12, 2023 |

I think part of that is the point, like he sees himself as this perfectly in-control ephemeral observer untouched by the human experience but the second he messes up one thing he panics and makes a bunch of mistakes in a row. The ending monologue is basically him accepting that he's just some guy. Real Fincher metatextually scrutinizing himself poo poo lol

Lots of Tubi hype in this thread so I have to ask, is it just the lovely implementation of Google TV on my TCL TV or is it the most crash-prone streaming app out there? I watched Fury Road today, and the app crashed at virtually every ad break, half of those times time forgetting where I was in the movie. One of the times, it caused my entire TV to reboot (a sentence that still feels weird to type). As I sit here and my TV was just displaying a slideshow because I left Tubi on the main menu for a while, it seems like Tubi crashed, rebooted, and started playing a new movie by itself. It's completely unhinged.

It was weird that the guy who waits a week in biting cold to get his target and has a reputation for creative kills gets ambushed and have to brawl with his target because he decided to kill him with a handgun at night in his home. And after making the dog bark up a storm at that.

Dammit, I didn't realize it was a David Fincher movie and now I'm obligated to like it, I take back everything, it's a serenade to a nihilistic generation that's been betrayed again and again regardless of their past hard work and creativity, Fincher is a master painter of shadows and half-light and the urban phantasmscape is his canvas

I like how this philosophy trickles down to some of the other kills. The lawyer is a rung lower on the scale, so while he can be killed, the body has to be carefully disposed of. But then contrast this to a secretary or a taxi driver, whose bodies can just be left where they lay.

How many times does he repeat "stick to the plan, don't improvise, only fight the battle you're paid to fight" and then immediately disregard those instructions. He hosed up and it was made personal against him so he is making it personal in return. It ends with him calling himself one of the many, in contradiction to him saying earlier about how it's imperative to be one of the few.

Netflix crashes by far the most on my Roku TV. It also crashes the hardest, to where sometimes I have to unplug the whole thing and plug it back in. Max crashes the second most, and when it does it just kicks me back to the home screen.

Roku's don't multitask, when you hit the Home button it terminates the current app, except for the Netflix app which is always loaded. I assume there's some kind of deal where in order for Roku to get the Netflix app at all they had to provide performance guarantees or something. Having said that, I've never had the Netflix app crash on Roku.
