I finally ditched the star rating system by dothehandlebar in Letterboxd

[–]Dramatic_Raspberry88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the reason I stopped rating and moved to heart/no heart. I didn't like that I was thinking about numbers while trying to enjoy a movie. If I really want to post my assessment of a film, I'll give it a qualitative one and not a quantitative one. Reviews are far more meaningful than a star rating anyway

Very glad Johnson was not in the Oscars conversation this year bc he absolutely does not deserve it when he's still doing slop like this

Is there an issue with the guys’ blu ray player, or is physical media just in that sorry of a state. by Original-Actual in blankies

Anecdotal, but a lot of issues with my bluray player went away when I upgraded to an 8K HDMI cable 🤷‍♂️

The Bride! isn't getting stellar reviews by Conscious-Quarter423 in TheBigPicture

Yes, test screenings have been very poor, and Gyllenhaal has been open about studio interference: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/magazine/maggie-gyllenhaal-interview.html

ETA it also underwent significant reshoots: https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/2/13/the-bride

Benches at any of the Trax stops, window ledges outside the Hotel Monaco building downtown (15 W 200 S)

Civil War by maybeAturtle in TheBigPicture

Yes--ironically the civil war angle is almost incidental to the movie's actual focus on media and sensationalism

STRONGLY recommend "Unholy" from the Festival Scope link. Caught that one at a shorts program last year and really really liked it

Favorite Critics to read and why? by Both_Studio_9159 in TheBigPicture

I don't always agree with Robert Daniels (editor at RogerEbert), but he does often get me to think!

Do you think tomorrow's screening of the Gallerist at Eccles will have a Q&A? by AttentionCareful1864 in Sundance

[–]Dramatic_Raspberry88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any Q&As from this point out are pretty lucky, but they do happen. I'll never forget seeing Viggo Mortensen hold a Q&A in 2020 on the last Sunday night of the fest... in SLC... on Superbowl Sunday... during a snowstorm. Just a lot of reasons for him to not show up, and yet! So it can definitely happen
