Watched a rather experimental movie with a vintage computer theme, called "Obex" via #Kanopy.

Interesting attempt, but the pacing and thin plot was literally putting me to sleep. Barely made it through, and now ready for bed. Whew, snoozy. Give that one a miss.

If you're a horror fan and looking for a really good flick to watch for free this weekend, 'The Voices' is on Kanopy.

All you have to do is download the app and use your library card to access it. Your local library is almost certainly connected to the service.

Not sure if anyone else uses the KANOPY library system to watch movies, documentaries or tv shows but 3 awesome movies just "dropped".

2025s The Old Woman With The Knife. An action thriller with the older assassin played by Lee Hye Young who played Gu Jun Pyo's mum in BOF.

2024s Harbin starring Hyun Bin and more. Freedom fighters in 1907.

2002s Infernal Affairs. Classic Hong Kong crime thriller with Andy Lau and Tony Leung.

No art projects this week, but I did make a new video.

It's about cutting the cord with Netflix and learning about a few alternatives for streaming content. As a bonus, two of them are available through your local library system.

If you give it a watch and enjoy it or learn something new, please take a moment to hit the like button. Thanks!

Stop Paying for Netflix – 3 Free Entertainment Services (No Subscription)

Hoopla and Kanopy. Two free limited streaming services offering movies and tv shows.

There's a low monthly limit but they augment my commercial streamers and help me avoid having to pay for more just to watch a particular movie or show (e.g. The Worst Person in the World, Dark Winds)

📚 The "Library Card" Superpower
Your local library is often a gateway to premium streaming.
• Kanopy / Hoopla: If you're in the US, UK, or Australia, your library card gives you free access to Criterion-level films.
• MLOL (MediaLibraryOnLine): The go-to for those in Italy. 🇮🇹
Public libraries are the ultimate "hack" for high-brow cinema without the subscription fatigue. 📖🎥

Coppola's stuck in a past way of thinking that provides the absolute worst part of what is otherwise a potential masterpiece.

I loved the visual and technical artistry in Megalopolis, and outside of plot and dialogue, it IS a masterpiece.

Overall, it's a mess.

There is a quote in Megadoc that rightly notes that movies are visual art.

As that, Megalopolis succeeds.

There are a couple of clips and quotes, along with a bit of the monologue towards the end, that highlight where Megalopolis ultimately fails: Coppola's grand notion of throwing out the old, stale notions of the past are betrayed by his dialogue informed by his beliefs which are now literally the old, stale notions he mistakenly thinks he's destroying.

Megadoc is available to stream for free in the U.S. with a valid library card from a system that provides the Kanopy service.

It's a good documentary on the making of Megalopolis that further confirms my opinion that the movie is, and will eventually be considered, a beautiful love letter to the art form, despite its gaping flaws.
