I'll just add that people going to "hate watch" these movies are also part of the problem. if you really want to, why can't you just pirate it or something? and not talk about it anywhere on social media. else, you're literally advertising for them for free via @mrnarci.bsky.social

This is a 🧡 in which I aim to persuade you to support @freelibsnet.bsky.social and, if your finances permit it, to take advantage of the many fabulous offers in its #LibraryLove fun(d)-raiser.

let’s play a little Guess The Movie from this disclaimer that popped up at the start of the film i’m watching

Movies cut up at the behest of the Indian government's threats, swear words randomly muted, plastered with warning labels for any scenes with tobacco & alcohol, delivered on a digital platform owned by one of our vile oligarchs. Fly the πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ.

i know Hotstar (yes, we're deadnaming JioHotstar) has been cutting scenes and all from new series and films, didn't know they were going back and add smoking disclaimers to years-old films (this is In Bruges from 2008)

was thinking about how both Payal Kapadia with All We Imagine As Light and RaMell Ross with Nickel Boys used their prior experience with documentaries to wondrous effect in these, their sophomore features. (1/3)

watching the Robbie Williams biopic, Better Man, right now and was not prepared for Chura Ke Dil Mera Goriya Chali to play anachronistically in the background of a scene set in 1990 (song's from 1994)

decent one, also watched Mr. Turner (4.5 stars) earlier in the week

In January, PM Modi claimed to completely "transform Indian rural life" as government used drones to map inhabited rural areas in the country to issue property cards to villagers. scroll.in/article/1078... However, on the ground Scroll found the data riddled with errors and fear among residents.

hey @ bomsky I've asked this before but does anyone know any libraries further to the north other than the main churchgate library? and I'm not talking about libraries that are just study rooms, ones I can go in for free and just look at huge piles of books around me

Universal DMCA’d their own pic of Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey 😭 Universal is notorious for their abuse of copyright

what an immensely tragicomic final paragraph

need fiction reccos (looking for Indian novelists but open to international writers too). genres: lit fic, spec fic, historical fic, sci-fi books I love so that you get an idea of what I like: Station Eleven Homegoing Em And The Big Hoom Exit West Cobalt Blue Chinaman The Wildings + seq 11/22/63

i don’t necessarily learn new words from films the way I do from books but Mr. Turner has all these Brits mouthing so many words i’d never heard of: crepuscular frangibility scrofula illimitable bethought cogitate impecuniousness scuttle incarnadine gourmandise costermonger

Disney is introducing resegregation efforts Remember to keep boycotting Disney

genuinely trying to understand what do people who record whole-ass scenes in cinemas get out of it. i understand doing the equivalent at gigsβ€”a thing that can't be duplicated, re-experienced. but you can watch a movie at home on a screen that is bigger than your phone screen

Bakery Cat is preggers again btw

Eros back in the day was the first theatre I watched a movie at, taken by my mum to watch Chota Chetan in 1998. and somehow coincidentally, my first movie in theatres after her death happened to be Interstellar at the revamped Eros IMAX screen
