I used to have a Letterboxd account, but had gotten a bit bored with the site and had deleted it. This thread made me interested in trying it out again though. Not sure I'll post much, but you can follow me if you'd like to for some inexplicable reason- https://letterboxd.com/Raxivace/. The import feature seems a little wonky on here- a few movies I have on this might be inaccurately marked as watched.

What exactly is with Letterboxd's phobia of movies marked as "Video" on TMDB? It's a bit annoying that I can't log the first movie I've seen this year just because of some silly classification system on a separate website.

300 would uh, be a fairly intense year considering it isn't even Valentine's Day yet.

Spatulater bro! posted:It appears that Letterboxd has removed Histoire(s) du cinema from their database. So the TSPDT list is now one short. Why would they remove it? I dunno, they get weird about what things they have on their site. Like I know they've gone back and forth on whether Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces is even a movie or not. EDIT: Oh yeah they do have individual entries for each episode of Histoire(s) though. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I was gonna say Red Sun (1971) because of Mifune's character, but I guess that isn't really modern times if the plot revolves around delivering a sword to Ulysses S. Grant.

I remember someone involved with Trump Rally got a shoutout on a random /Film episode. Maybe I'll check it out now.

Spatulater bro! posted:What are the most obscure movies you've rated on Letterboxd? Go to your films and sort by popularity.  ^This rear end in a top hat from The Shining. This guy was the first onscreen James Bond, and he plays him entirely as an American. People straight up call him "Jimmy" and its great. Also the villain in the movie is Peter Lorre. Casino Royale '54 may not be a great film but if fuckin' Peter Lorre's presence in a Bond movie doesn't convince you to check it out then nothing will.

Only 179 entries in 2017 for me. Following Trump's nonsense just drained a lot of the energy I usually had for watching movies I guess.

Log standup specials and TV shows IMO. Also short films.

 I watched a lot of Bond and Hammer Horror this year so mine looks like this. EDIT: Gah, he's part of the "See More" section but I also saw six movies with Jean-Pierre Léaud. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Nov 27, 2018 |

Yeah my director's list paints a little different of a picture too now that I'm looking at it. The most surprising thing to me is that I somehow saw three Wellman movies this year.

I think I'm still the only person on Letterboxd to have seen the incredibly bad anime compilation film Xabungle Graffiti (1 view, 3 lists, 0 likes).

https://letterboxd.com/raxivace/year/2020/ It seems I mainly watched the two true genres of film- old Perry Mason TV movies from the 80's/90's, and anime, last year.

42% for the 2021 list, with 423/1000 seen. For the new total list, I'm at 33% with 510/1502 seen. Still a long road ahead...

Honestly its incredibly hosed up how Letterboxd keeps adding and then like four days later removing most of the Columbo episodes (Especially when comparable TV Movies like the 80's/90's Perry Mason run are left on there across like 30 entries). I mean for goodness sake how is the one Spielberg directed, "Murder by the Book", any less of a movie than like Duel is?

DoubleCakes posted:I ruined my data by binging all those shorts so now the 1930s and 1940s are filled with 200~ films each while I'm not even at 50 with the 1970s. Like I didn't get the big deal about Ozu's Late Spring at first, but at some point I realized I had thought about it every day for like a month straight and that it clearly had hit me on some level I didn't realize while actually watching it.

I'm fine with TV being on Letterboxd, it should just be done by seasons as opposed to a single page for an entire series IMO (And obviously logging individual episodes for Letterboxd's current format is just madness). Maybe that's just a bias that comes from growing up in era of the "DVD boxset", people lending boxsets out to hook their friends on shows etc., but that what I think of as the primary uh, unit I guess of TV shows. Especially for cases like True Detective or a reality show like Survivor that are kind of an anthology thing with each season more or less being a self contained story with beginning, middle, and end.
