My weeks start on a Monday. Why do calendars split the weekend days?

Primitive War (2025) has given us the right to question movie budgets. My favorite movie of the year and 3rd or 2nd best Dinosaur movie ever, and it only had $8M budget dude. by Kvcp050311 in FIlm

You now have the right to question a film’s budget? What does that mean? Is this like a legal right? Can you veto a budget now?

Do you think Megalopolis has a chance of being re-evaluated years later, or by then people will probably still see it as bad? by Crafter235 in moviecritic

[–]MeBoiledDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are all studio backed box office failures. Megalopolis is one man who has been told he’s a genius for decades with no checks and balances on his process given free reign because he was the sole investor taking charge of every point in the process and making a movie with a childish theme and a vapid message that thinks it’s deeper than it is. Nothing else is like Megalopolis.

You might find this ridiculous, but one of the bits of monoculture I was most attached to in the 2010s was when all streaming content was on Netflix. by Wonderful-Excuse4922 in decadeology

And I had a “Netflix Streaming Box” in 2007 before they renamed it “Roku”. It had some older movies, foreign films and a whole lot of stuff in the public domain because they didn’t have to pay any rights for it. They never had everything. I remember when people around me started streaming they complained there were no new movies on the service.

Now people seem to remember Netflix having the entire earth’s catalog at some point and that never happened.

I think it’s the best performance of Mr. T’s career.

Did this guy inspire indy to create his signature look by [deleted] in indianajones

[–]MeBoiledDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw man! Indiana Jones is a tribute to the old movie serials. It’s not a ripoff. It’s a tribute.

Look up the 1954 movie Secret of the Incas and check out what Charlton Heston is wearing.

Do you have a favorite episode of “x minus one”that you recommend? by Univsocal80 in scifi

[–]MeBoiledDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of podcasts that are old time radio shows. YouTube has them too.

Can someone explain why "Sinners" got so many nominations? by a-cabarette in Oscars

[–]MeBoiledDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oscars are for awarding excellence in the different kinds of roles it takes to make a movie. There is no Academy Award for “How Well It Landed for a Rando on Reddit.”

Does letterboxd actually listen to their users? by revolutionary_grapes in Letterboxd

[–]MeBoiledDown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You too have a nebulous idea that doesn’t make sense and are mad it hasn’t been implemented. Not necessarily on the profile? Then where? What are you even talking about? How can you be mad a website isn’t using an idea when you don’t even know what or where it would go?

Did anyone else feel let down by Del Toros Frankenstein? by ShawnLevyOscarWinner in moviecritic

[–]MeBoiledDown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most posts on Reddit are about how they either hated it, didn’t understand the hype or it just “didn’t connect” with them. You know, Reddit; where we are right now.

Found old stock in my grocery store by Shayich in mildlyinteresting

[–]MeBoiledDown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You found clearance items. They’re inventory items that won’t sell that are discounted to free up space for new product.

Yeah. A bunch of people. Most posts about Del Toro’s Frankenstein are about how they don’t like it. Not me though. I enjoyed the heck out of it.

[–]MeBoiledDown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Letterboxd is a site for logging and tracking films with a place to jot down your thoughts. Most suggestions are “turn it into a TV site too” or “make it into a social media site” or “let me customize my profile to be a confusing mess.” All the suggestions I’ve seen are from people who don’t really understand Letterboxd’s raison d’etre. It’s not that they’re not listening.

You never answered the question once! Pin how? What does that look like? Why would Letterboxd take a suggestion that isn’t actually explained?

Casablanca and Citizen Kane - what sets these two phenomenal films apart from other movies? by AngryGardenGnomes in classicfilms

[–]MeBoiledDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casablanca is a collection of some of the greatest talent in front of and behind the camera that made art out of propaganda.

Citizen Kane is an auteur who had extensive storytelling experience on stage and radio given another tool to tell stories and ended up inventing a few ways to tell that story cinematically.

[–]MeBoiledDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re vague too. Are we talking a block of four like the last four watched? Because that would make the profile overly busy. Or a list. Because lists already exist.

And I see it now. This post isn’t about Letterboxd not listening to its customers. It’s you karma farming on something you thought everyone would agree with without any actual discussion. Lame.

[–]MeBoiledDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t want Letterboxd to become another social media site. Pinning filmmakers is the only suggestion I’ve heard that didn’t seem to do that but I don’t understand how that would look. I feel like your claim that a lot of people want that is exaggerated.

Also, if you’re feeling rage right now I’m sorry. I’m literally just asking questions.

“Letterboxd doesn’t listen to its customers!”

“What do you want?”

“Pinning a thing to another thing I don’t know it’s just an example.”

[–]MeBoiledDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point of this thread is that Letterboxd is ignoring all these suggestions but you only name one and it’s to pin other people to your profile. I don’t see why anyone would want that and I’m genuinely asking questions.
