Edit: unfortunetly doesnt work anymore
They are super expensive but worth it when you use their features. You can e.g. connect it to a PC, use it as a second monitor and as a drawing tablet for photoshop. Similar drawing tablets from wacom arent nearly as versatily and cost similar or even more.
That said, I just use my S7+ for notes, youtube and comics. Probably not worth it but I love the excellent screen.
Its amazing once you start to realize how little you can watch even when you are subbed to all streaming services. In the years I used Netflix and co my consumption changed to ‘I watch whats available’. Once I pirated again and joined a similar Plex server with a catalogue which contains pretty much every movie and tv show ever made, even international ones, it changed to ‘What weird shit I really want to watch today’.
Even if would sub to every streaming service available to me (which would probably cost 100€ per month) I could only see 20% of the movies I have watched.
One idea for the language problem. It needs a little bit of tinkering. Grab the apk and alter the package name. Than you can install multiple instances side by side. You could install one instance for each language. Probably necessary to alter the app name as well so you can distinguish between the different versions.
Oh and definitive Letterboxd! Its a must for every film fan.
You have a watchlist, can mark movies as watched, rate movies, can write reviews, discover reviews follow people, see what those people have watched recently and discover super intersting lists.
Definetly the best website/app for every film fan.
Digital or physical copies? For digital ones I would recommend something like trakt where you can mark movies as ‘collected’.
For physical media I would recommend a database which distinguishes between the multilple releases of the same movie. Often there are big differences from one release to another, like lord of the rings colorgrading or star wars special effects retouching etc.
I know only one website which does this well and its in German, see the heading ‘Fassungen’:

I bet there are similar websites in english though.
I would look into the zima board or zima blade, cheap but should be powerful enough. Otherwise there are really great server builds possible with low powered mini PCs possible. See Wolfgangs channel on youtube for inspiration.
You could use a raspi but there are more powerful options for a similar price.
Everything which is aired on the public channels lands in the mediathek and you can legally download it for a while. Here is a handy search tool:
Totally serious. Never knew there is a difference. Thanks for the explanation.
