#RIP Roger Corman. God damn. What a career, what a life, what a guy!
"The Intruder" (1962), the only #film the notorious cheapskate lost money on, and not coincidentally, the last time he tried to make a political statement, is on #kanopy for the curious.
📽️ I discovered earlier that HISTORY OF THE OCCULT is available on #Kanopy, so I guess tonight's movie is settled.
(It's also on #Tubi for those of you who don't have Kanopy, but if you have a library card in the U.S., I beseech you to check and see if you can access their amazing library of #films.)
For a more obscure independent film, check out "Christmas Again" (2015). I remember enjoying that one, and see it's up on #Kanopy so will probably watch it again to see how it stands up. I remember a slow moving character-driven flick that pulls you in.
"There once was a time when you could donate a book to the library to give others in your community access to it. There once was a time when libraries owned the works that they provide to the public, rather than finding themselves trapped by unethical technology and predatory licensing fees," said Greg Farough, campaigns manager at the FSF.

One of those films that influenced so many other, often greater, later films that it’s a wonder Billy Wilder didn’t sue everyone into the ground.
There are too many ‘colourful antics’ for my taste, and not enough made of the letters from home complaining about rationing. Still, it’s thrilling and suspenseful.
If you’re wondering if you’re the only one yelling in frustration about The State Of Things Right Now, rest assured that Barry Crimmins had been doing it longer than you. He was also doing it louder, more articulately, and with more invective.
He’s the most brilliant political satirist who I’ve never heard of. He was also the most active soldier by a long shot in the war against assured wrongness.
Watched Knock at the Cabin last night. I loved it but think it would mainly appeal to M. Night Shyamalan fans since (as is not atypical for Shyamalan films) what's happening isn't made clear until the very end.
@geekaren That was one of the few M Night films I watched in a while, great acting. If your library partners with Kanopy, they have lots of great movies. Lady in the Water has been on my watch list for a while there. A24 films are often on there and Everything Everywhere All At Once was added recently. I like that they have hard to find festival films, documentaries, etc Depending on your local library you can stream 7-10 films a month. #Kanopy.
