And if you DON’T have a steam deck but have a decent smartphone, a razer kishi or similar provides a great comparable budget setup. I use moonlight and a Kishi 2 with my Pixel 6 and it’s a great couch/bed experience over wifi.

When a government musters up the guts to do their job and regulate corporations

I mean, if you’re paying for something anyway, Navidrome + Symfonium is (to me) a better option.

This is what Canada’s all about. We’re just 3 corporations in a trench coat, pretending to be a country.

Honestly, my phone does a great job playing most retro games, and for a controller I have a razor Kishi 2 and it’s perfect for that application

I think there’s only a small handful of leftists in American politics at all, and that their propaganda apparatus would be small, if it exists at all. Maybe centrist, neoliberal propaganda, but leftist? Where?

Last year’s Sister Midnight was excellent, had some fun Wes Anderson vibes

Reanimator is a lot of fun (though I personally prefer From Beyond if we’re gonna talk Stuart Gordon stuff).

Italian horror is my personal favorite, but don’t go in expecting things to make sense. They tend to operate on dream logic.

Anything Cronenberg did in that era… Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, (though my personal faves are his 90s/00s output). Anything Argento did in the 80s (Inferno, Phenomena, Opera), etc. Speaking of Italians, my boy Lucio Fulci made some great ones in that decade too, notably The Beyond, The House By The Cemetery, and The Black Cat. Carpenter’s 80s stuff should go without saying (The Fog, Prince of Darkness, They Live, The Thing). Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street is pretty perfect too.

Maybe I’d vote for Andrej Zulawski’s Possession, which is fucking nuts. Or a personal deep-cut fave like Night of the Comet. Does Blue Velvet count as horror? Does Ken Russell’s Gothic?

I’m a huge fan of aonsoku but it’s been 6 months since there’s been an update and I’m worried it’s abandoned. Hope not!

I use an N95 mini pc, I have it set up with xubuntu (compositing turned off), and it’s loaded with Kodi (+Jellyfin add-ons), and used with a USB remote control. It’s a super-smooth. I cast music to Kodi from my phone with Symfonium.

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.

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.

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.
