Tangential, but I saw a film sometime back called "The Lighthouse" starring Willem Dafoe[0] that was beautifully shot in monochrome; and exuded age-old themes of isolation, loneliness, and eventual paranoia.

Another similar recommendation is the movie Moon.

Not only shot in monochrome, it's shot on the obscure 19:16 ratio!

Is there a link without pay wall?

Nothing I can find - I wonder if there is a news-oriented variant of sci-hub for such paywalled sites though.

Not that I'm aware of. Outline can bypass some soft paywalls but that's it.

And unlike the niche owners of science publications, the press giants have massively more financial and legal firepower to get what they want - even political, given how they were able to bribe themselves the Leistungsschutzrecht in the EU and in Australia...

That looks like the truncated paywall version.

Searching some text in Google in the link above gets me here: https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-independent-1029/20210223...

It's pretty cool that simply appending a period to the end of the domain name causes the paywall to disappear. I wonder if that's a bug, something not disabled when testing?
