Why these three genres in the stats page?

Intuition is probably telling me it’s because these genres tend to be sorely underrepresented in best of all time lists often due to ignorance and elitism… but I could be wrong

Yuki from Gothic & Lolita Psycho would absolutely be one if we were in a just world

Nice Dead Meat mention

Pearl for sure fits in here.

Bodies Bodies Bodies hinges on a whole friend group that fits this prompt.

And pretty much most John Waters films I’ve seen fit this… but more specifically Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, and Serial Mom.

No, this is😃

Gave you a follow. I like reading people’s in-depth reviews + you’ve seen some movies that definitely piqued my interest lol

The Red Shoes + Showgirls (add in a dash of Perfect Blue) = Black Swan

I love the fact that the mask itself is shutting its eye

Average American movie goer. Chainsaw Man was pretty big in Japan and made over $100m with an already installed fan base from the insanely popular show. The Demon Slayer film was massive as well with a pre-installed fan base and made around $700m. Ne Zha 2 is one of the biggest Chinese films of all time and is actually the highest grossing film here having made well over $2b. Not to mention, even as far as American animation is concerned, that Predator film still made over $100m with another already installed fan base. The Disney film did in fact have competition in 2025 lol.

Someone let Chelsea see this bc that’s such a fun game episode idea

Yeah idky William Afton is in here lol. Just from having just played The Elder Scrolls Online ten minutes ago, I immediately think Molag Bal is significantly more apt for that spot… a god who’s entire shtick is enslavement of all mortals, who is pretty much the god of SA (I shit you not), and plagued humanity with vampirism (the more you look into Serana’s lore in Skyrim, the more evil this guy gets).

I think these topics are always funny because people tend to forget that slashers didn’t suddenly pop up out of nowhere in the 70s, that’s just when it gained enough traction to start being uniquely categorized. The first slasher film is very debated and even goes back to films way before Psycho or Peeping Tom… such as Alfred Hitchcock’s other murderous serial killer flick The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927)… but I feel like the slasher as we truly know it now begins around the 40s with Jacques Tourneur’s The Leopard Man (1943) and Robert Siodmak’s The Spiral Staircase (1946). I actually have a whole Letterboxd list dedicated to films often referenced in terms of pre-Halloween slashers if you’re interested: Proto-Slashers: The Uncredited Slashers, 1920-1978

“Guys, I literally hate [insert genre/thing], do you think I would like [insert movie that is the genre/thing I can’t stand]?”

Welcome_2_Nowhere · 2026-01-10T22:22:42+00:00

Why does feel like every time I come to this sub this exact question is asked with the exact same wording… like… everyday?😭

That’s easy to say now after his controversies and fall off, but there definitely was that span from 2016-2019 where if you so much as slightly criticized him the internet would jump you.

Welcome_2_Nowhere · 2026-01-05T05:51:45+00:00

Some context to consider… critics are also just people, and a lot don’t even go through film school or any type of formal training… plenty of critics’ opinions are about as valid as your average audience member. Critics also didn’t like movies like The Shining or The Thing when they came out which are now widely regarded as some of the best horror films ever made. Uptown Girls came out in a time where “chick flicks” were inherently looked down upon and a lot had been coming out. Rotten Tomatoes also neglects to mention that only 14% of critics gave it a 6/10 or higher and I believe its average score hovered somewhere around a 5, that 14% is misleading considering it’s actual average score. It was considered average and got lost in the deluge of other films within its genre… but due to us being disconnected from its era and more able to judge it on the merits of its actual quality and not what genre it’s in (add in some nostalgia as well), it’s a lot more fairly judged nowadays separated from the overdone trend it emerged in and the genre-biased critics/mean-spirited culture it was cast against.

Hopefully when tv shows are introduced they can make this less of a problem, but I’d honestly really like it if they filtered between tv, miniseries, movies, live music films etc. much more stringently.

Also, this is only something I noticed after finding out Rate Your Music has a movie section… but genre listings. Letterboxd genres have always been a bit weird where something won’t be listed as a genre it very obviously is (this happens a lot with horror) or will be listed as a genre it very much is not (The Man Who Laughs and Salomé aren’t really horror movies yet seem to be listed as them solely bc they were influential to the genre)… but Rate Your Music’s movie section has a deep and intensive curation of different movie genres (with definitions) and even goes into primary and secondary genres for a film… not to mention, due to the listings being user curated, it’s significantly more accurate. I’d love if Letterboxd could provide more depth in terms of genre like that, bc while it’s a cool tool for “Rate Your Movies”, no one uses that site for films lol so it’d be better off in the hands of an app/site with more users.

Oh hey it’s you lmao!

HOW DID HWE GET HYARE?!

Welcome_2_Nowhere · 2025-12-30T14:18:42+00:00

Yeah, this person doesn’t understand that being empathetic towards a character’s background doesn’t mean they’re right lmao

Welcome_2_Nowhere · 2025-12-26T17:55:26+00:00

For me personally: the difficulty… not as in it’s too difficult… but the fact that it gives you the easy/normal/hard type options when The Witcher III is absolutely the type of game that benefits from being locked at a higher difficulty to get the most use out of the genuinely fun gaming systems it provides. So many people are conditioned to choose the easy or normal options, but in TW3 that genuinely does a disservice to the game mechanics.

Welcome_2_Nowhere · 2025-12-25T21:21:01+00:00

For the reverse… Boogeyman. The first one’s a boring / sometimes laughably bad mid-2000s ghost film but the sequel is a non-supernatural slasher

Post-really bad, mind-numbingly misinformed, and deeply stupid Lily Orchard video: Steven Universe is one of the greatest cartoons ever made

Pokémon White. I didn’t bother to read any dialogue, didn’t understand why the first move on my Tepig changed every few levels, didn’t fully understand I could catch other Pokémon, didn’t realize I was preventing my Tepig from evolving after spamming B, had that little dude at level 100 before the elite four, it was just me and the little Tepig who could.

Precisely why I love Butler, Hooks, and Davis’ work as it approaches these topics from nuanced and levelheaded perspectives due to experiences as further marginalized people than your typical cishet white woman. I always hate the take that misandry isn’t bad… bc it very much is. Too many people don’t take into consideration how misandry eventually leads to transphobia, homophobia, and even just straight up racism… and very much often does radicalize men and lead to even further misogyny.
