Looking at everyone's ratings makes me feel like I rate too harshly. Or I watch a lot of bad to mediocre movies. Probably the latter.

Can anyone recommend some good accounts to follow? The 'People' tab is pretty much useless these days because it only surfaces users who are Twitter/Tumblr famous and post the usual "omg <actor> slay queen!! <character> threw the first brick at stonewall!!"-type posts that are of absolutely no merit to anyone. I'm looking for any kind of meaningful film writing, whether that be critical analysis or just personal essays in response to film. Even syndicated accounts (e.g. the one that posts Armond White's reviews) would be of interest to me. Also, Samuel Clemens posted:Numerical values are the tyranny of consumer culture.

Since everyone else did it: Why watch bad movies when you can watch good movies instead? But, also, most movies are average or above average but not incredible. Follow me: https://letterboxd.com/Germeneutics/

I always try to watch one utter stink bomb so when I add things to my yearly release lists, it's easy for me to spot which haven't been placed into order - because they're showing up under Show Dogs and the like. This years 'treat' is Airplane Mode. I've only managed to get through 10 minutes so far and it's already earned the 1/2* distinction. It stars Jake Paul and that's all anyone needs to know.

I mainly treat the rating as a vibe check. Like, my immediate emotional reaction is what I go by, and that probably leads to a few movies being a star higher than I'd give them in retrospect.

I both found the film, and also have it in my collection (I haven’t seen it yet so didn’t use that knowledge). Everything is Terrible Presents: The Great Satan

I flagged about 50 films I really liked from the past decade and tried to whittle them down to 20. Unintentionally made a list of movies that I will either rewatch at any time, or that I need to go back and rewatch: https://letterboxd.com/idiotbear/list/my-top-20-1-for-2010s-time-capsule/ Mine is probably a bit obvious so hit me with your end of decade picks

I did one for just horror movies: https://letterboxd.com/daveski/list/the-30-best-horror-movies-of-the-2010s/ I'll probably do a best of the decade one at some point, although I feel less qualified because there are a bunch of major ones I haven't gotten around to seeing yet.

I signed up for Pro on Black Friday last year when it was on sale and would like to renew, but would want to wait for the sale again. Anyone know if I'm going to lose anything by letting the membership lapse for a week?

Nope, nothing's deleted on Letterboxd's end. You just lose access to it. When you re-up, your stats and all will still be there.

Anyone know if I'm going to lose anything by letting the membership lapse for a week? I’m in that same boat, waiting for the sale to renew. I liked Pro, though, and it’s not *too* expensive, so if the sale doesn’t happen those bastards will probably get my 19 bucks.

I’ll probably do pro even tho I don’t really use any of the features. It’s a good site and the more people that give them money maybe it’ll move development at a speed faster than glacial

My heart bleeds for them. Also anyone gotten a bunch of new followers this week for no reason? I spot a new person every now and again but despite not being particularly active I’ve had about 10 or so in the last few days, all seemingly real. Odd.
