inspired by your desert fury gif set tags, do you have any other movies on archive.org you'd suggest?

haha a LOT. Genuinely surprises me how many presumably-in-copyright films are just .. there.... although they do in fact get taken down when/if the rights holders notice. If it's an older US-American film, or a classic non-english-language film, the chances of finding it are pretty good.

here's a few to check out that are notable in some way. Can't vouch for subtitles on everything sorry.

absolutely crazy selection of film noir here - click through to 'show all' and there's probably hundreds to browse through (not all in the best quality ... and with rather a loose definition of noir that encompasses some sports dramas and 1930s gangster films) including some of the great classics - The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard, Sweet Smell of Success, The Maltese Falcon, The Night of the Hunter (choose the second one on the list for better quality), Night and the City, Gilda, Key Largo, Leave Her To Heaven, Mildred Pierce, Kid Galahad, Angels with Dirty Faces, etc. etc alongside lesser-known films like Desert Fury. If you are looking for some ~subtext then Sweet Smell of Success, Gilda, The Maltese Falcon and Desert Fury are a good place to start.

Agnes Varda's documentary Les glaneurs et la glaneuse / The Gleaners & I and her follow-up two years later, following different types of 'gleaners' who gather things for different reasons, whether artistic or by necessity

Agnes Varda's Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962), considered one of the greatest films ever made (number 14 on the 2022 sight & sound critics' poll)

Agnes Varda's Jane B par Agnes V (1988) (are you noticing a theme. i love agnes varda) - a wacky collaborative essay/portrait - Jane Birkin, ambivalent about turning 40, plays different characters in vignettes that Agnes Varda wants to see her play, interspersed with interviews about her life

Ousmane Sembene's La noire de.... / Black Girl (1966) following a Senegalese girl who travels to France to work, one of the great classics of world cinema

Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966) - hugely influential extraordinary film... everyone imitated this. Documentary-style account of the Algerian war for independence.

Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn! aka Queimada (1969) - not the best quality but i wanted to include it bc I saw it recently (currently on amazon prime in the UK) and it made me Crazzzyyyy. Marlon Brando plays an English agent provocateur sent to provoke a revolt in a Caribbean sugar colony in the mid 19th century. Ohhh it;'s good stuff.

Louis Malle's Zazie dans le Metro (1960) - precocious child visits her drag queen uncle in Paris, only wants to ride the Metro. Thwarted by a strike they go on a wild journey through the city.

Robert Bresson is another of my favourite filmmakers, a very still, austere, minimal style, mostly using non-professional actors - on archive.org you can find Le Diable Probablement/ The Devil Probably (1977), Un Condamné À Mort S'est Échappé / A Man Escaped (1956), Au Hasard Balthazar (1966)

I've never seen it but Kurosawa's Seven Samurai one of the best known films of all time is up there like. is anyone paying attention to this webbed site...

Jacques Tati's Jour de Fete and Mon Oncle, classic comedy in a silent film-ish, Buster Keaton-ish style

Jacques Demy's Les Demoiselles de Rochfort/ The Young Girls of Rochfort

Thom Anderson's classic Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003), documentary / essay film on how the city has been portrayed in film

Werner Herzog's documentaries seem often available - eg Little Dieter Needs To Fly, Lessons of Darkness. (On youtube you can also find Encounters at the End of the world, Wings of Hope, Bells from the Deep, and Fata Morgana.)

John Berger's Ways of Seeing - better quality on youtube rather than archive.org though, iconic & influential art documentary

Jason and the Argonauts (1963) dir. Don Chaffey but really Thee Ray Harryhausen film of all Ray Harryhausen films. legendary stop motion creatures! the og skeleton war!

Hud (1963) dir. Martin Ritt, kind of a revisionist western with Paul Newman and Patricia Neal. super famous film!

Hard Times (1975) dir. Walter Hill - just ur classic great depression illegal bare-knuckle boxing movie with Charles Bronson & James Coburn!

haven't watched them but the classic Toho Godzilla movies are there!

there are several Letterboxd lists that list films available on the Internet Archive however ... since these lists are very long and may not be up to date I find them hard to use and not very useful.

i remember that forum! and i think about my daemon often haha

Yeah! I joke, but I honestly don’t think it was bad in any real capacity. It was kind of a fun thought experiment, and it certainly could help if one felt lonely. (And a couple of people ran it by their therapists, if I recall correctly, because family members were concerned that the practice could be harmful. The general consensus seemed to be “yeah, that’s mentally fine and normal to do.”)

(The forum was about imagining the voice with which you mentally “talk” to yourself as your His Dark Materials-style, animal-shaped daemon. People played at having their daemons “settle” in one form like in the books and that things like guessing the time right before you looked were your daemon telling you, but there was a solid understanding throughout that it was an imagination exercise and that your daemon was still just part of your mind. I found it generally a pleasant and supportive community.)

(Mine was a fennec fox.)

happy holidays! a little mermaid continuation would be grand

The first time a neighboring country brings war to their kingdom, Ariel borrows her father’s trident. 

There is no second time. 

(”And the council worried I wasn’t making an advantageous marriage,” Eric jokes in their bed, his mouth smiling as it leaves hers.)

please tell me about your aliens fixit fic

ripley and newt are picked up by a supply vessel on its way to an agricultural colony planet. theyre able to get bishop somewhat repaired but he has 2 use a cane and cant stand for too long . idk what happens to hicks but he probably takes the first boat back to report what happened and also lie that ripley died so she can live in peace. ripley gets a job ferrying supplies between different colonies in the system. she buys a farmhouse for herself and newt and bisho p because a family can be a lesbian a robot and a wild child. thank you for coming to my ted talk
