Letterboxd is indeed pretty awesome. I don't really rate or review movies, I just like them or don't like them, and that's fine by me. Here's where I'm at: http://letterboxd.com/kenny_waste/ Also, the process of adding films isn't super intuitive or anything, but you don't need to have a Pro-account to add data. If you watch a movie, can't find it on Letterboxd, your best bet is to check if it's on IMDb or TheMovieDatabase (the latter of which is what letterboxd primarily uses). Signing up for an adding to TheMovieDatabase is super easy and way easier than IMDb. Once you've added something there, all you have to do is just copy the numerical code of the entry, and past it at the end of this url - letterboxd.com/tmdb/ - and press enter. It won't automatically load all the data from it, but within 24-hours you'll have a fine new entry.

I'm pretty sure you can sort films by date, or are you guys talkin' about something else?

Hat Thoughts posted:Ya but now your feelings on Sing Street are ambiguous On the other hand, me even putting in 15-seconds of thought to decide precisely how many stars out of five I'd give Sing Street is entirely too much time spent on thinking about Sing Street.

Hat Thoughts posted:This is how I feel about clicking through Adam Sandler's actor page to mark films as seen. Yeah, see, that's also my absurdly myopic hang-up. There are tons of movies that I feel like I've technically seen all the way up to my college years that I haven't logged because I have this delusion that I've only started watching movies right in the last four years.

You know what, I can't tell if The Love Witch is my new favorite horror movie of 2016, or my new favorite romance movie of 2016, or my new favorite comedy of 2016 - help me out goons, who gets traded out, Nocturnal Animals, The Wailing, or Operation Avalanche? I'm leaning on the third. https://letterboxd.com/kenny_waste/list/the-goldblums-the-only-awards-that-matter-1/

Joe the Strummer posted:What about porn? Would it be weird if I logged and rated porn into my diary? I actually ended up adding the two oldest surviving porn films to TMDB just so I could log them on Letterboxd, but then the fucktards at TMDB went ahead and specified that it was an 'adult movie,' so it no longer shows up on Letterboxd. There's this weird situation where a lot of films on TMDB are clearly registered as adult movies, so they don't show up on Letterboxd - but some just aren't, and the admins apparently don't look into them very carefully, so they show up just fine. It leads to situations where you can log Deep Throat 2 and Deep Throat in Tokyo, but not Deep Throat. It's fuckin' stupid, just let people add porn, who gives a gently caress?

try the new taco place posted:Those, even on Netflix, have specially designed exact commercial breaks based on television conventions. So does Wes Craven's Invitation to Hell MST3K eps are at the very least a kind of para cinema, functioning as both cinematic and televisual/video works. The problem with Letterboxd/TMDB is that there's a clearly arbitrary construction of cinema, so you get situations where, if you accurately added that a movie was technically shot/released on video, you wouldn't be able to log it. edit: I'm too indecisive to pick four favorite movies, so I just pick my favorite and then cycle through the three most recent films I saw (not released in the last two years) that gave me a 'drat that poo poo was dope' reaction:

Spatulater bro! posted:Was he not referring to Napalm Death? I've always just assumed he was interested in several different death/grindcore bands. That could have been it. In context it came off different, but I probably misread. Friends Are Evil posted:Honestly, half my picks are just legit good bands being used in weird, out of touch ways. The name's probably a little misleading. Just call it, like, "A Survey in Metalsploitation" or something.

2018 stats: https://letterboxd.com/kenny_waste/year/2018/  That lull you see is me finding temporary employment.  The Soviet cartoon I watched twice was Lesson Not Learned  Guess which franchise I watched the entirety of this year? Go on, take a wild stab  I'd like to thank France and the short film megathread; the National Film Board of Canada; the online Japanese Animated Film Classics archive through the National Film Center, Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; and wikipedia's "films by year" tabs for making this all possible.

Franchescanado posted:Which is on Amazon Prime. Very cool, I'll try and check both out soon. How are they as a double feature? Excellent, really, but in a largely poetic sense. Ninetto Davoli was in a lot of Pasolini's films, including Hawks where he played the young sidekick to Totò's older man character. In Pasolini, Ninetto Davoli now plays himself being cast in the film that Pasolini is developing after finishing Salo, in which he now plays the older man, real-life Italian actor Eduardo De Filippo, and Riccaro Scamarcio now plays a young Davoli. The film-within-a-film is a lot less overtly comic and more ponderous than Hawks, so basically while you're watching Pasolini, tangential and intertwined with it is a spiritual sequel to Hawks.

It's definitely a thing of how significant the changes are in addition to the involvement of other artists. For instance, the Giorgio Moroder version of Metropolis is naturally considered a distinct film, whereas the "complete" Metropolis is considered just one of the various cuts that go with the "original" film. Similarly, Gojira, Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, and Cozzilla are all considered unique works
