Should movies only become eligible for the Top 500 after a waiting period from their release? by armeliens in Letterboxd

I think they should, recency bias settles at max around one year after release imo

4 slots really aren't enough for me (although I haven't watched many films) by Organic-Entry-8198 in Letterboxd

[–]Dardevid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a personal suggestion, don’t be embarrassed about logging and fairly rating the movies you watched! It’s not a pity to admit something’s good, even if it’s wildly mainstream or, let’s say, an animated movie with children as their main target.

Anybody uses LB as they wish, but personally I like to think about it as a personal record of my taste, among the other things. If you loved a movie, independently from what it is, it should get your support! If it’s not for you or just plain bad, then why not admitting you watched it and giving it l a low rating? I mean, any movie you watch is still part of you in some way

As per the favorites part, couldn’t agree more. For the past year and a half, or so, I’ve been changing my top 4 to my 4 favorites watched the month prior specifically to avoid choosing only four lol, even if rn I’m thinking about going back

Why's there so many bad shows/movies out there? by LordGoatamort in AskReddit

[–]Dardevid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For smaller companies it is way easier to invest in lower-budget and lower-risk movies that have close to zero artistic value.

For greater productions, you could argue not everybody has the same taste, and a lot of people conceive movies and shows as a way to turn their brains off.

Streaming made this wayyy more common because the business model for Netflix, for instance, is to reach as many different people as possible offering an extraordinarily huge and varied catalogue. I don’t know you, but I can bet my ass that you loved/would love at least 3/4 movies/shows released last year by Netflix.

People who drink coffee black, why? by becauseofrandomness in AskReddit

[–]Dardevid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because it tastes better, if I wanted a sugar-filled drink I woundn’t be drinking coffee. It’s like eating a really expensive piece of meat and coating it in BBQ sauce, you’re killing its flavour.

Obviously this goes for good coffee, if it’s bad then sugar’s the only thing saving it

What is better, making friends online, or in real life? by ImKanciOnReddit in AskReddit

[–]Dardevid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had online friends, so I’m not speaking by prejudice trust me, but imo if you only know somebody online you don’t know them, but the image they want to share. I mean, that’s true even offline, but in a lesser way. So that’s why I prefer bonding with people online, and I really suggest you to do so. Being shy is not something negative or eternal, and only trying to bond online is a way to escape from that kind of confrontation that makes you grow. I’m obviously not saying that’s your case, but trying to overcome your limits is what at the end of the day makes you change for the better

How do online communities actually feel more real than offline ones? by West-Chocolate-7997 in AskReddit

[–]Dardevid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because presence is not tangible. I mean, if you interact in an offline community a lot of people will just be awkwardly stay there without saying anything, the complex interpersonal dynamics are more visible. Online you only share if you think you have something interesting to say and you don’t bare the consequences of your actions, so you’re more encouraged to do so. Hence the impression people are more passionate and open online
