the history of the decision-making around tv/movie ratings is actually super interesting def check it out (even just like the wiki page or the you’re wrong about episode on it) if you still have any interest in it hahaha
marxinista super interesting rec. I’ve never been big on podcasts, but their episode list might have convinced me otherwise. I’ll check that one out first!
I love watching a movie, logging it, leaving my little review, and then reading what my follows thought. Did they like it? Did they hate it? Are there funny quips? Thoughtful essays? It's the one site were I'm rather indiscriminate with my follows. If the top four is interesting, I want to know what they think of the movies.
this came about from reading the letterboxd reviews of a friend. i know this friend loves trash as much as i do, but noticed they still never gave those movies 5 stars. it seemed to me that even when sharing your personal opinion on something, people sometimes still like to see themselves as “the reviewer”, an objective professional critic in their own bubble, which i found weird when i thought about it. so i made my own radar (or spider) chart with the things that i think make a movie fun/ good or boring/bad and i mark things off this way instead. i have hundreds of them at this point it’s really fun to do and idk i recommend making ur own!
On letterboxd. Like how do you rate the Virgin Suicides or Killer of the Flower Moon?! So heavy and devastating!
Fully sticking to just saying whether i like a movie or not going forward!
Getting excused from jury duty 20 min in and having a whole day to myself. Sorry, work text? Don't know if you heard, but I had jury duty today... be back tomorrow.
This was the only Batman movie we had on DVD growing up (my parents received it for free through some mail-in bundle deal) and as a 7-year-old, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
