#TUBI MY BELOVED

[general-sleepy]

Positively enchanted by this poster for the Basil Rathbone The House of the Baskervilles on Tubi.

[ID: A poster with the title "Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles". Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes stands holding a pipe, his head badly edited onto a stock photo. Behind him is a massive, snarling dog's head over the background of a nighttime forest. Below the poster is information on the film: The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) 1 hr 19 min TV-PG Mystery, Horror, Thriller. END ID]

STOP. TRYING. TO. TAKE. QUEEN AND SLIM. OFF. OF. TUBI. IT IS A NATIONAL TREASURE OF A MOVIE AND DESERVES TO STAY ON EVERY STREAMING PLATFORM EVER.

[televised-uhhh-nerdistry]

Scrolling on Tubi is like...

Movie number one, Pi-tree Dish:

In the distant future, humans have evolved into trees in order to deal with the increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. When aliens from a desolate planet come to Earth, they kidnap the Oak King and his daughter. It’s up to the only human man left on Earth to bring them back alive. But can he succeed when even his own people don’t accept him?

Movie number two, Life is a Highway:

Danny “Shrooms” Libido must stop an evil NASCAR scientist from using special technology to harness innocent souls and trap them in cars as enslavement.

Movie number three, The Matrix Brie-Loaded:

An office clerk awakens one day in her cubicle to find that the entire state of Wisconsin is trapped in a simulation as part of an elaborate plot to turn humans into cheese.

Movie number four, Seamen:

Herculina, a disgruntled cop from Boston, is tasked with guarding the last two members of a near-extinct aquatic species, but must overcome her fear of water when a descendant of Captain Ahab attempts to kidnap the creatures from their enclosure.

Movie number five, Extinction:

The year is 2157 and robots have run rampant across NYC. Only one group of people block the path between these monsters and the extinction of all humanity.

i really need to get back into lucifer but hughghu it's so hard to open netflix.

[ranmagender]

This is how I feel about the current streaming landscape

[ID: Image of a meme format from the tv show spongebob squarepants. In panel one, Mr. Krabs is is angry. The subtitle reads: "all of you, get out!" the cartoon fish citizens have been altered to have logos of streaming services over their faces, namely prime video, peacock, netflix, max and disney plus. In the second panel all the fish are gone except a clown with the logo for the streaming service tubi tv added onto its face. Mr. Krabs points at the clown. The subtitle reads: "Except you, you stay!" and then a third panel of the clown looking happy with a glow behind them, this time zoomed in on the clown with the tubi tv logo now bigger on where its face would be.

tubi is the best for many reasons but the core one is that whenever i want to watch some obscure low-budget extravaganza because brad dourif is in it, i know that it will be on tubi

[monsterbisexual]

anyway has anyone seen phantasm (1979) ?

[jenniferhills]

Alright time to watch another horror movie wish me luck AGAIN <3

[general-sleepy]

Love that there's no sorting system on Tubi. Like, none of this alphabetical or release date business. You pick a genre, then you see our inexplicable assemblage of media in whatever order we give them to you.

[spiked-mall-goth]

watching vampira and me again

[mashmouths]

i’ve been in the ernst lubitsch mines recently and was wondering what if anything you’d recommend that’s tonally similar to his 1930s divorce romcoms? i loved bluebeard’s eighth wife and trouble in paradise in particular but found that uncertain feeling to be a pale echo of both. i guess im looking for that sharp, funny, but ultimately very loving thing that lubitsch did so well.

also what are the good later miriam hopkins pictures! my girl!!

My beloved 🖤🩶ERNST🩶🖤 Who was doing it like him!!! NO ONE, which is why I’m sticking with the man himself first: I would try his Greta Garbo picture Ninotchka (1939) next! It’s like a pre-Cold War satire slash love story, sly and silly but also something very sweet and on occasion quite moving about it. Where: I believe this one is another usually floating free on YouTube

And since you like Claudette Colbert + divorce banter + the effervescence of Trouble In Paradise, I think that = Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night (1934). I know we’re all constantly going on about how it invented And There Was Only One Bed/Room, but it’s hard to over-emphasize how much it does do that, & More.

Where: Criterion Channel, Tubi

Finally, there is a(nother) hugely Tumblr bait movie called The Heiress (1949) by the great William Wyler, an 1840s period piece in which sweet sarcastic awkward Olivia de Havilland has a bad time, but in a Good Movie way, and I still have this clip I filmed on my phone of the introduction of Aunt Miriam Hopkins:
