Happy New Years & other assorted holidays y'all. Movie to round in the New Year this Friday will be STALKER(1979). You are allowed to make two(2) vibeogane references during, no more.
Otherwise y'all know the drill. Post your favorite publicly posted or pirately hosted movie for Cytube Fridays. Top upvoted suggestions make the queue, and maybe get paired for a double feature.
Stop making bot accounts to vote with. Shit's lame. Also highly liberal. "Oooh, I'm vootin!I just can't get ebough vootin! My habits have numbed this qualia & I need vootin hyperstimulus!" - That's what you sound like. Do better. I reserve the right to suspend elections and just play Joe Frank radio programs instead.
Post the link if you can, makes things easier. Movies usually play 16:00 MSK & 04:00 MSK the next morning Cytube is a finicky beast and usually accepts Youtube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, GoogleDrive(requires plug-ins, ez pz)and occasionally others if it feels charitable that day. Here’s the manual
Shout out to the Cytube Crew, my cat Dewey, and Vaccines. Seriously, get your boosters. Omicron real shit, hacking out phlegm casts of my lungs rn.
going to be honest, i want to see reds 1981 but i want to make a good promo for it so im not going to nominate it for tmrw
you guys would probably like bonnie & clyde though
Also I am once again pointing out that there are several full length Yasujiro Ozu movies on youtube:
These are basically some of the greatest movies of all time.
True Stories (1986) Starring John Goodman and directed by David Byrne of the Talking Heads. It's great you'll all like it.
The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming!
Amazing 1966 comedy about a Soviet submarine that lands on a small American island. It's not at all anti-Soviet, and it's hilarious.
Easy source right here: https://archive.org/details/TheRussiansAreComingOldFilm
I suggest a "Terrible mid-to-late 2000s genre parody movie" double-feature of Epic Movie and Disaster Movie, both widely considered 2 of the worst.
And they're both PG-13 as opposed to the R-rating of the first 2 Scary Movies, so they're a bit less...intense shall we say with the more racy humor. Still very crude, eye-rollingly dumb and so-bad-they're good entertaining tho imo.

“No, this is so bad it’s gone past good and back to bad again.”

Going to add Perfect Blue to the list again.
Excellent movie, needs a bunch of content warnings tho.
Waiting for Fidel 1974 ‧ Documentary/Political cinema ‧ 58 mins
This feature-length documentary from 1974 takes viewers inside Fidel Castro's Cuba. A movie-making threesome hope that Fidel himself will star in their film. The unusual crew consists of former Newfoundland premier Joseph Smallwood, radio and TV owner Geoff Stirling and NFB film director Michael Rubbo. What happens while the crew awaits its star shows a good deal of the new Cuba, and also of the three Canadians who chose to film the island.
Plot
Two Canadians, former premier of Newfoundland Joey Smallwood and broadcaster Geoff Stirling, travel to Cuba in a private jet. They attempt to meet Fidel Castro to discuss Cuba–United States relations, but Castro never shows up. Instead, much of the film consists of discussions between progressive Smallwood and free-marketer Stirling about the effects of the Castro regime. The film's name is a take on the play Waiting for Godot, which has a similar conceit of two men conversing while they await a guest who never arrives.
Critical reception and influence
New York Times film reviewer Richard Eder observed that "It is about Cuba, in a way, but it is also about the difficulty in seeing Cuba for what it may be."[2] Gary Evans, in his chronicles of the National Film Board of Canada, called the film "one of the most intriguing documentaries of the period".[1] The film has been cited as an inspiration for director Michael Moore.[3]
some libs go to cuba and spend an hour complaining after getting ghosted by castro
