Let's be honest here, cuckservatives and tolerant liberals, while there ARE sects of DT's fandom capable of forming a violent cult like people constantly fear-monger about him, the vast majority look at him like Lennie Small from Of Mice and Men, the dumbbell that always screws everything up for them and hardly goes 100% on his best policies. Yet people still found it a crucial effort to vote for him in office regardless of all his egregious flaws, because to them it's either HIM or letting another elitist politician take control again.

There's a green Plus icon in the bottom center that jumps straight to "log a film", and you can also set up a Siri shortcut if you're so inclined to voice shortcut straight to that interface as well Edit: also works if you longpress the app icon

IMO the best use of Letterboxd is to find some well-argued opinion that is totally contrary to yours. Mike D'Angelo is my go-to guys for that: https://letterboxd.com/gemko/ So often I'll stumble across his lukewarm or negative review of something I absolutely loved, but I can't help agreeing with what he says. A persuasive contrary opinion is the best thing on the platform.

A user who's (allegedly) the director of Aimy in a Cage just followed me (I think they're following everyone who's marked themselves as having watched that film), and whoo, they do not care for recent films.

If he's the guy who made that, these reviews make me want to totally write him off as a creator. Everyone who went to film school knows a guy just like whoever wrote these reviews, and their films were always trash.

Of course this guy has Crispin Glover in his film also lol quote:The film is adapted from a graphic novel by Jackson. To finance it, Jackson sold off most of his possessions and invested in Bitcoin. The film was initially budgeted at $250,000 but ended up costing $500,000.

The thing is, Aimy in a Cage isn't a bad movie. It's kind of like a cut-rate, Americanized mix of Bliss, Black Moon, and Brazil, with good performances all around, and traces of Derek Jarman's anachronistics in the set design and costuming. It's unfortunate to see its creator crapping out these reviews, though. e: Different movie. but what a wonderful spread of reviews Letterboxd has.

I got bored and decided to make individual, organized watchlists for the decade. I chose 10 per year that I still want to see and listed them alphabetically. https://letterboxd.com/ratedargh/list/2010s-watchlist-10-blindspots-per-year/ Also did one for the 2000s: https://letterboxd.com/ratedargh/list/2000s-watchlist-10-blindspots-per-year/ I'm working on a 1990s list now. Anyway, I thought this was a more streamlined way to prioritize my blindspots.

The Trip and The Trip To Italy were both cut down to make movies from 6x 30 minute TV show episodes, in case you want to watch the more full version. Great stuff. I’m trying to hold back about calling Beyond The Black Rainbow mean things in 2 threads in one day.

# ? Dec 9, 2019 04:12 |

I'd love to see the full versions! I've only seen the feature-length version of The Trip, and I imagine there was a ton of great stuff that didn't make the cut. And by all means, drag Beyond the Black Rainbow. I'm curious about it regardless. The response on Letterboxd is...varied.

I just utterly hated it. Film school twattery combined with hubris inherited from the fact his father was a director. Shooting every scene wide open for no reason other than a shoddy attempt to be arty, and just a complete narrative mess. I’ll give the trailer credit for making it look interesting, I wish I’d never found it. I’m determined to watch Mandy and give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he’s learnt how to make something that’ll take the bad taste out of my mouth that remains 4 years later.

# ? Dec 9, 2019 04:24 |

Oooof. Well...I will temper my expectations. Doubly so because I wasn't all that keen on Mandy, though Cage is very good in it and not just because he's insanely unhinged. He is...but there's a depth to his performance that's really worthwhile.

BTBR is a good mood piece, but it's not any more than that, and to be fair to it, it's not trying to be. Mandy is a lot meatier.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:BTBR is a good mood piece, but it's not any more than that, and to be fair to it, it's not trying to be. Yeah, BTBR is an feature length art piece, Mandy is Cosmatos channelling that style into an actual narrative film. They're both great at being different things imo but hey, not everything is for everyone.

Holy crap, they've finally found a solution for the comments of lists where the only options were 'Show all 1,894 comments' and 'Show most recent 20' before. Now you can add 20 comments at a time, which is good enough. My $12 put to good use it seems. I'll see you guys in 2021 when we get another site update!

Yeah that’s another annoyance, but kinda hard to code around as I’m sure those crappy lists get a ton of likes/clones. It does suck tho, as if I’m in a weird or obscure film I wanna see lists that might open me up to something similar not ‘here is a list of every film ever’ poo poo.

Good grief, it's amazing how many false entries there are if you go to Films and narrow it down to a single service for browsing. First 25 films I tried to pull up were apparently on the list only because another film with the same name was on the service. e: 9 of the 60 entries on the first page were correct links.
