Ok so me and my friend stream movies together and then pretend to be amateur film critics and give our reviews/ratings. I've been torrenting 1080p high quality versions of them while at work (walmart🤢✋) and putting them in google drive for my friend to download and watch with me to get around the shady streaming sites that bombard you with adware and porn links. Anyways i discovered that the new blu-ray player i bought has a USB port in it and i can put my thumb drive into it and I CAN WATCH THEM THROUGH THE PLAYER????.

Just a small thing that really made my evening. Watching movies with friends has been a really comforting escape from hellworld and covid lately.

P.S. we're doing horror/spooky movies throughout October so some suggestions would be nice :)

      Yeah it's loads of fun! And yeah I think we need to separate the art from the artist, if for no other reason that we wouldn't have many artists left otherwise. Besides art is supposed to be the condensed and distilled best insights, ideas, sensibilities of the person making it, their purest best self, their real life unsavoury traits notwithstanding.

        Definitely watch Kuime though! It's the best on my short list and Miike's best work to date (and considering his age will probably remain this way).
