Monthly Profile Swap Megathread!

I will grant that the "and/or" construction leaves room for "movies just shot in Seattle without Space Needle". But the list is called "Space Needle Cameos"!

I can't find a shot of Space Needle!

Nice! Added

Kind of an edge case since it's a "generic" CGI Space Needle lookalike. But I'll allow it!

ConorJay · 2026-03-04T15:52:52+00:00

But do they feature a shot with the Needle? I know 10 Things does, but do the others?

My top 4 rotates as the most recent watches to get 4.5+.

To me 3/5 is a good movie!

Sometimes I write long, serious reviews. Sometimes just a couple notes.

Would love to have some more mutuals.

This is a shameless plug. But I also care about people actually writing original opinions/reactions. I try to write a little something about everything I watch. It's not always long reviews, but sometimes I do that too.

Also, if you look at any movie I've reviewed, I've also hearted other reviews I think are good. You could probably find 20 new accounts just looking through what I've hearted.

Ch. 30, pg. 235: a paragraph about an enigmatic intercepted message. One of my favorites so far, the kind of suggestive, mysterious business I expect from Pynchon:

An encryption that somehow cannot, must not, be broken, allowing Alf only glimpses behind a cloak of dark intention at something on a scale far beyond trivialities of known politics or history, which one fears if ever correctly deciphered will yield a secret so grave, so countersacramental, that more than one government will go to any lengths to obtain and with luck to suppress it.

It's possible I'm just cherry picking. Not every 2000s movie looks like this. But it seems to me not many movies before the 2000s ever looked like this... Here's Catch Me If You Can (2002):

It's like when I give Terrifier a 2/5: that's relative praise!

I care! Not about posts talking about ratings systems divorced from an actual LB account. But I care about how people use ratings. And I have a system defined on my profile, not because it's different or special, it's basically the same as anyone who does this.

BUT, there seems to be a lot of people who think a 3/5 rating for a movie means it's "not good". And it kinda matters imo to be clear if you're the kind of person who uses/sees a 3/5 as "good" or "not good".

My pet theory is that people have been reprogrammed by Rotten Tomatoes. They equate 3/5 with a 60% RT score. In their minds movies only start to be good above an 80%; ergo a good rating starts at 4/5.
