James Joyce and Film

Ulysses has often been compared with early cinema and its techniques, which is not too far-fetched as Joyce himself was associated with the founding of the Volta Cinema in Dublin in 1909 and was said to have enjoyed early cinema.

Did Joyce ever write on cinema or mention it anywhere (besides FW preferably)? Does anyone know of films he likely watched or enjoyed? Are there any good film adaptations of his work? What kind of films would he have liked?

Happy Birthday Marcel Proust!

Mr. Proust was born on 10 July 1871, making this day his 155th birthday! I would give him a nice coat and cake for his birthday if he were alive.

Sharing a large number of files

I am a technologically illiterate person who spends a lot of time downloading art from wikipedia (usually .jpg), and I have a collection of about 20,000 downloads right now. The collection is quite good if I do say so myself, and I would like to be able to send it to my friends and associates, however I do not posses a faculty for doing so online.
The collection is probably many gigabytes, so most conventional methods like google drive have been impossible. I also don't want to have to give a big (and pricey) flash drive to everybody. Can anybody tell me how to share this large number of files? Thanks

Modern Systematic Philosophy Book

I know of a few Systematic Theology books (The Summa Theologicae being the archetype), but I've never seen something of the sort for philosophy. This makes sense because philosophy cannot be dogmatically asserted a basis like scripture, but philosophers always say what they think on various topics and I wonder if any philosopher tried to do that systematically (which means im not looking for a topical anthology of philosophy).
