Apparently just arrived on #YouTube Movies & TV for the first time and currently free in the U.S.: "Amadeus" (1984). A fictionalized view of Mozart, the film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won 8, including Best Picture. Definitely a classic. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfJsMYBTXUI

I understand moving away from Spotify due to price hike and other reasons, but is Youtube (Google) really an advisable alternative these days?
Accused Minneapolis shooter reportedly identified, along with manifesto posted on #YouTube and more:

Vamos a aceptar por un momento que, en los shorts de Youtube, cada tres vídeos te pongan uno que es un anuncio, vale... ¿Pero en serio tienen que ser todos estafas? Es que no sale ni uno de, yo que sé, detergente o perfume.

La plateforme de vidéos de #Google a effectué des tests d'algorithmes de retouches de vidéos sans prévenir leurs auteurs. Ces filtres rapprochant esthétiquement le rendu des vidéos de ce que l'IA générative peut proposer, l'entreprise pourrait rendre encore plus floue la frontière entre les contenus classiques et ceux générés par l' #IA#Veo3 de Google ou ses équivalents.

If you haven't seen it already, or really even if you have you should see it again -- the 2005 film "V for Vendetta" is an absolute must-see in terms of its prescience for the fascist nightmare that is now escalating in this country. It's apparently on Netflix for a few days more until 1 Sept, and is available from many other sources for a few dollars to view. It's worth it. Here's the #YouTube Movies & TV link, though it isn't free there at this moment. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nthx97iwtKE
GO WATCH THIS FILM!

Watching "The Taking of Pelham 123" (1974) the original NYC subway hijacking film starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, and more. With its unusual atonal jazz fusion score, great shots of New York City of the era, and a drop dead perfect truly shocking ending, it's a must see. Currently free on #YouTube Movies & TV in the U.S. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwsTOwRkNU

Back free on #YouTube: Wonderful documentary on the L.A. session musicians behind innumerable pop hits
Back free (in the U.S.) on YouTube Movies & TV, "The Wrecking Crew". This is a 2015 documentary about the ad hock group of L.A. session musicians (perhaps 20 to 30 in total) who provided the music for a vast number of the most popular pop hits of the 60s and early 70s. And most of the public never even knew they existed -- and most still don't.
I can't recommend this amazing documentary enough!
