Cinemabros Assemble! The Letterboxd Thread

[Shinobi Shaw]

As I'm going through the Hitchcock portion of my likes, @Kane52630 you have the nerve to judge people when you gave Rope and Rebecca, two timeless cinematic masterpieces, 3 stars?!

1. I saw Rope a long time ago and that was old me.
2. I gave Rebecca 3.5 stars thank you very much! Big difference.

And you call yourself a Cinemabro...

 

[Kane52630]

'm really going through my memory banks thinking of all the movies I've ever seen. Damn you Kane.

That's why I was glad I started posting my reviews/watches on here roughly when I joined the Hype.

The only hard part is finding the old "Last Movie You Watched" threads.

I prefer his other stuff like Rear Window & Psycho much more.

Yes of course, you'd like the blockbusters even though Psycho is one of the best films ever made just like the people with animated movies in their top 10.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on some of my top 10 in a little bit LOL.

 

[Drizzle]

Yeah, no work is getting done today from me.

I'm really going through my memory banks thinking of all the movies I've ever seen. Damn you Kane.

That's how it starts. First you want to log every movie you've seen, then you want to rate all of them, then you want to go back and like them, etc. I'm at the point where I'm considering posting reviews but I can't do it for everything I've seen and they also wouldn't be very detailed. Maybe just a jokey sentence or two.

My method for logging every movie I've seen was to think of the oldest movie I had watched and then just work my way back from there using the Browse By Year (Decade) option. Once I got to the '50s I started looking through each individual year by popularity order. It took me about a day or so during the holidays last year but it was fun.

There's still a lot on there that I've seen but haven't logged that aren't feature length films (Three Stooges and Looney Tunes shorts and a bunch of documentaries for example) because I feel like that might be going a little too far but I do find it odd that they include miniseries like WandaVision and Beef on there.

 

[Kane52630]

Yeah, they have miniseries and stand-up specials which I personally haven't added.

You truly get me.

There's no method to my madness right now Drizzy, I'm literally just starting with my faves (Spike, QT, Billy Wilder and Hitch are my personal Mt Rushmore) and their films and doing the ratings and the likes, but I'm like you. I can't review a movie as in depth as Kane so eloquently can, but I'd write something witty for em.

Eventually.

My team is lucky today, that all I gotta say.

One review I wish I could find is my original TDK review which I had on myspace... but that site went to sh** and I'm pretty sure they scrubbed my profile a long time ago.

The only hard part is finding the old "Last Movie You Watched" threads.

At first I was logging movies on Letterboxd by looking at the old "Top 10 Films of (Year)" threads from here which was helpful but of course there were also films released from any of those particular years that I didn't get around to watching until years later anyway so I only got so far with those.

Yeah, they have miniseries and stand-up specials which I personally haven't added.

I've added some standup specials but I haven't gone back and added every one that I saw, I probably wouldn't remember some of them. I do recall them saying they would be adding TV shows but really it would make more sense if they had an entirely different spinoff site dedicated to TV shows and include miniseries, TV standup specials and made for TV/DVD documentaries separate from Letterboxd.

Your Disney animated top three checks out in my book. There's a reason Beauty and the Beast was the first one to be nominated for Best Picture.

No matter what, Beauty and the Beast is always in my heart. That was the first Disney movie I ever seen and been hooked ever since.

It's one of my all time favorites too. That was the first movie I ever saw in a theater and also one of the oldest clear memories for me. I also remember the struggle of waiting almost a year for the new Disney animated movies to come out on video.

Happy to see Longlegs on there. I just watched it last night and "Bang A Gong" was stuck in my head when I woke up this morning.

A ★★★★ review of No Other Land (2024)

Potent and devastating, No Other Land frustrates with ease. Filmmakers Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham and everyone else involved peel back a practically translucent veil into the totalitarianistic Israeli government and their unjust displacement of Palestinian natives, in particular those of Masafer...

boxd.it

Essential viewing.

Only two Lynch in the top 10??? You ****ers will watch Lost Highway and you will like it!

When are you gonna show us your Letterboxd, Sawyer?

[Sawyer]

Only two??? That thing is 30 years old! Get it together, film bros.

Just saw that Boondock Saints has a 3.4 rating and I’m starting to wonder if Letterboxd has an edgelord problem.
