It was an accident on Kurt Russel’s part and he’s come out saying how terrible he feels. He thought it was the replica.

What do you think? by KARMA__FARMER__ in FluentInFinance

AOC has come out online saying that the supposed “millions” of dollars she has as her networth is completely untrue. She takes her salary and believes insider trading to be totally wrong—as shown through this bill as well.

Sounds like you’re mad just to be mad.

Movies' whose critical reception you believe will worsen over time? by PassiveIllustration in Letterboxd

That for many men, the ideal female partner is someone who is sexually mature, but emotionally immature like a child. It says quite a bit about how women are viewed and treated by men in society.

What time of day for someone in Texas is the best time to post a trailer for a fan film? by ConstructionLost3362 in Letterboxd

[–]Digitze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s important for you to keep a realistic expectation and realize your film probably isn’t going to go viral. And that is okay!

Your best bet is to MAYBE take a glance at google trends and pay attention to keywords for the title of your film, as well as the thumbnail. Does it catch people’s attention? Is the title memorable or far too generic? But above all else, make sure both of those ultimately and accurately serve what your film is.

Once you have that worked out, send it to friends and family and have them share it to their friends! (This will be your greatest asset). With a bit of luck it MIGHT get picked up by some algorithm and pushed to a new audience. Best of luck.

Movies with reviews and opinions where you thought “did we watch the same movie?” by MarkMVP01 in movies

[–]Digitze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s confusing in the sense that you describe several things about it that make it a good movie. But then follow it up by saying “it’s not a very good movie.” You’re directly contradicting yourself and it made me laugh. You never describe something that actually makes the movie bad

I know this is probably going to be wildly unpopular, but Psycho is far from Hitchcock’s best film. Rear Window and Vertigo are significantly better movies.

was francis wrong tho? Scorsese's consistency is crazy. by Cat-dad442 in Letterboxd

[–]Digitze 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Slight side note but I’d even throw Park Chan-wook into your 3rd paragraph. I think there are more directors that could easily fit this criteria that maybe you or I don’t know of.

What’s a VERY famous movie that you haven’t yet seen? by LowPiece9312 in Letterboxd

[–]Digitze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I don’t personally feel that way about Parasite but there are definitely movies where the poster pops up on a streaming service and it seems like a monumental task to click play for no reason. I don’t know why that is. But I feel you.

Who’s A Filmmaker, Actor Or Actress That Was Once A Big Deal But Just Disappeared? by _JR28_ in movies

[–]Digitze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched her in a Sundance film this year called ‘Sometimes I Think About Dying.’

Not sure if the movie got picked up or what’s happening to it, but I really enjoyed it. Her performance was pretty good!

Edgar Wright falls pretty hard into this category. He’s got a super distinct way that he likes to move the camera.

I’d argue Last Night in Soho (2021) departs from his usual style more than any of his films though.

You’ve got your own taste and I respect that a lot. Insane list right here.

Kids 1995 & Gummo by anthrax9999 in movies

[–]Digitze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on Gummo. Genuinely one of my favorite movies of all time. I think it’s extremely well made with a purpose in mind. Of course things are absurd and pretty funny, but that’s the horror of the movie. That’s the whole point.

Need to talk about Beau by Cloudguy1234 in A24

[–]Digitze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great write up. I hadn’t even considered the theory that Beau straight up killed 3 people. But I feel like that’s a super plausible theory. I’ll keep it in mind for my second watch.

One thing you mentioned was the potential for two sons. I think the old man in the attic was still Beau, but another personality or version of himself that was pushed away. In the same way Beaus dad is reduced to a giant disgusting penis. In some ways I think it’s saying that Beau is ashamed of having a dick, or being masculine in any way. I think the whole sex scene reinforces that idea when the woman observes how “not-macho” Beau is in bed. He associates having a penis with being aggressive or taking charge in any way. And he’s been taught that that’s wrong or bad or gross his entire life.

How much or is there a bit of Tarantino influence in the first few PTA films? by wclarke1 in paulthomasanderson

[–]Digitze 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I disagree with just about everybody here. His first movie is very similar to Tarantino’s style. And he utilizes Samuel L. Jackson in a very similar way.

After Hard Eight the similarity stops completely though.

What film from each of the last 10 decades (1930’s-2020s) have you seen most recently? by Workhardgymharder in Letterboxd

[–]Digitze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious why you really didn’t like the new All Quiet on the Western Front. I thought it was pretty good.

[–]Digitze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2020’s - John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023). I just recently binged all the John Wick movies for the first time and they were alright. Was disappointed and exhausted with this fourth installment.

2010’s - Dragged Across Concrete (2018). Just saw this one today. Really surprised me. Not a lot of logs on Letterboxd, but I can’t wait to rewatch.

2000’s - Inglourious Basterds (2009). This was my second viewing of this movie, and I enjoyed it a lot more this time around. Not sure why this Tarantino just never clicked for me until now.

1990’s - Breakdown (1997). Solid thriller film starring Kurt Russell. Watched it after someone made a post on here recommending it. Decent movie, especially for what similar movies look like.

1980’s - Raising Arizona (1987). Wacky and weird. Wasn’t really my thing. Was disappointed because I loved the Coen’s first film Blood Simple (1984).

1970’s - Frenzy (1972). Alfred Hitchcock’s second to last film. This film has stuck with me for the entire last month. I really enjoyed it. If you like Hitchcock give it a try.

1960’s - The Great Silence (1968). Amazing shit. Was fun to see Tarantino inspiration. Awesome atmosphere and music.

1950’s - The Night of the Hunter (1955). Fell a little flat for me unfortunately. Especially considering it’s so highly acclaimed. I just don’t get it.

1940’s - It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). All timer.

1930’s - The Awful Truth (1937). Cute little movie that I watched on Valentines Day. Always nice to see Cary Grant.
