The film modes are an optional coding experiment. Sound starts only after a visitor selects a film and can be switched off from the on-screen control. The site hosts edited copies of the reusable recordings below; it does not use movie clips, soundtrack masters, or actor voice recordings.

Startup sound

Background images
The decorative background images layered behind a few grades are CC0, public-domain, or U.S. government works. Their exact source pages and local edits are retained in the project's asset ledger.
Synthesized voice
The 2001: A Space Odyssey mode occasionally whispers HAL 9000's line “I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.” as an homage. The audio is generated locally with the macOS “Whisper” text-to-speech voice — it is not the film's recording and does not imitate the original actor. The quoted line is used for commentary and criticism.
Film posters
Each film is identified by a low-resolution copy of its theatrical poster, shown beside an original written review of that film. The posters remain the property of their respective studios and are used here for criticism and commentary. No poster is offered at full resolution or as a download.
