You don’t need Criterion or Mubi to watch great classic films! I recently discovered that Tubi, a platform that you not only don’t need to pay for, but don’t even need to make an ACCOUNT for, has a rotating wealth of classic films, from famous to obscure.
Just watched Un Chien Andalou, now watching Riders of Destiny. The other week I watched Sherlock Jr.
Film school is great (as someone who went) but you can give yourself a great primer yourself by watching some classics for free and then reading/watching some critiques and analysis of what you don’t understand.

🎥I'm redirecting to my own guide to watch movies for free, the comments also have great additional recs, specially https://rarefilmm.com/ and https://www.solidaritycinema.com/
Among all of these options I highly reccomend exploring Buster Keaton's filmography featured in Cinema Antiqua youtube channel (quite good quality for 1920's movies for free), as always it's fun to see the stunt king in action.
Among the Internet Archive I've enjoyed watching to great japanese animation like Roujin Z and NeoTokyo

📚The StoryGraph app has single-handedly reinvigorated my reading habit. Super simple and no frills interface, and a great independently owned alternative to Goodreads (they can even transfer your profile over!)
As a big Letterboxd user, having a way to log and track and check things off is very satisfying, and helps me get that little hit of external validation.
I don’t really follow people on StoryGraph or use it for social stuff or thorough reviews, but it’s a great way to keep track of what you’ve read, what you’re reading, and what you want to read.
Please note I’ve only read 6 or 7 books this year, but that still feels like an improvement on last year, and approaching a return to form.

Y’all are not actually bringing terrible movies to the table here I wanna see actual trash recs!!!
Jurassic Shark is often my pick because it’s terrible in all the normal low budget ways, but either intentionally or unintentionally subverts a lot of those tropes. It has a lot of heart! A lot of Canadian vibes! Despite its genre it also didn’t feel excessively exploitative! It had this completely clueless and rudderless direction that felt naive and charming, and if you’re a fan of bad movies, or shark movies, it’s a must.

🗺Even if it’s renting a house outside the city together, even if you have to pinch pennies for it. The quality time is worth the headache.
