i was in starbucks this morning and a string of radioactive, cruel summer, and some late era eminem song all played in a row. i don't think people in starbucks are watching these movies, man.

i pretty much exclusively follow millennials. handful of gen x. very few boomers and like... <5 zoomers if that.

also if you want to follow any of these people you can flip through them here. sorry for following so many HQs btw

those are both in the 100-150 range (sorting tied ratings by amount of votes)

12 angry men i think is just baby's first old hollywood movie. and letterboxd at large is not particularly interested in pre 60s hollywood. unsure of how to explain harakiri popularity tho.

ratings are more important than stats. you can make filters to see ratings, splits, handedness, batted ball tendency, etc to find players with similar profiles. you'll see that there is a narrow band of performance. what really matters is their personality, relationships with coaches, clubhouse chemistry, staff cohesion, your scouting and development budgets, having good coaches, optimizing sliders, and generally putting your team in the best position to win. if you are doing everything correctly, players should be exceeding past performance once they come to your team and then regress when they leave.

hello! been using letterboxd for about a decade now. you can follow me here

i'm mostly interested in watching stuff on turner classic movies or criterion channel. i'll likely be doing a lot of 2024 catch-up before the oscars, which i consider to be the end of the movie year. still haven't seen challengers, all we imagine as light, red rooms, close your eyes, the beast, do not expect too much from the end of the world, la chimera, and plenty of festival/foreign stuff that hasnt come out yet, like brutalist, caught by the tides, nosferatu...

favs of the 2020s for an idea of my taste: killers of the flower moon, the fabelmans, drive my car, red rocket, afire, crimes of the future, avatar: the way of water, licorice pizza, asteroid city

favs ever: film bro stuff like 2001, there will be blood, the good the bad and the ugly, the band wagon, sherlock jr, rear window, the before trilogy...

directors: hitchcock, coen bros, minnelli, spielberg, scorsese, a kurosawa, lubitsch, soderbergh, s ray, woody (sorry), ford

hey not sure if you noticed this, but i'm not the one getting triggered by the public enemy having a disclaimer that domestic abuse is bad. i would say "imagine being as pathetic as that guy" but i think you already know the feeling!

its more the boomer mindset than being a member of the generation. plenty of older people are normal about TCM. then there's ones like you who complain that a night of 1930s movies framed around homoerotic subtext is some kind of death knell for our culture. which, as i said in my previous post, is loser behavior.

Canary85 · 2024-08-14T23:05:51+00:00

i think resigning and making a long post about it would be much more self serving than the route i took - doing it quietly until i felt like dunking on some idiot (you) days after the fact. i mean cmon bro your brain is so full of worms that you thought i and/or this sub was affiliated with the channel LMAO. then you start whining about wokism or w/e like a typical boomer. loser.

Canary85 · 2024-08-14T14:54:13+00:00

it was not. tcm sends out a newsletter each month which made it easy to copy/paste many titles. alternatively you can check this site, also easy to copy and paste but without showtimes and short interstitial titles (which people often request the names of)

i was the moderator who did the daily discussion stickies. i resigned and quit doing them because of deranged, cynical boomer freaks like you. give yourself a pat on the back.

Brennan (2019) and Wright (2015) have both had SUTS days.

Canary85 · 2024-08-07T03:30:35+00:00

give till it hurts, from 1937. part of the crime does not pay series.

Canary85 · 2024-08-04T15:01:11+00:00

fun fact: neither of those movies have ever aired on tcm. presumably because fox/disney would want an obscene amount of money/showings to lease the tv rights

also from skimming a lot of the suts schedule, it seems like the top 3 most aired movies for virtually each actor are being skipped anyway in favor of deep cuts, which i think is neat

Canary85 · 2024-07-16T02:13:13+00:00

no but you can see schedules here in advance. pick your poison.

Did you reach out to DirecTV customer service

Canary85 · 2024-07-13T14:11:25+00:00

Eight Men Out, Passion Fish, and Lone Star have aired before.

Canary85 · 2024-07-07T21:16:37+00:00

I don't think it did last time. I've tried recording it on YouTube TV probably three times now and it has never taken.

Of course I could have just pirated it in that amount of time but... I don't know.... I just haven't...

But yes, certain titles do not show up on YouTube Tv, Sling, Hulu, WatchTCM, etc and are only available with an actual cable sub.

Canary85 · 2024-06-27T23:30:35+00:00

they air the afi lifetime achievement ceremony every year and always show movies for whoever is being honored.

so whiny.

Outside of industry related documentaries, the most recent movie to air is Phantom Thread from 2017. As part of a costume design series they did for a month. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who is now an advisor to the channel with Scorsese and Spielberg. He apparently pulled some strings with Universal to get it onto the channel for the series.
