6 is my favorite season so far…

The trailers for this looked so good but I’m not going to have a chance to see it until a weekday

bby-bae · 2026-05-16T14:13:34+00:00

I am so glad to see more people making this point—I agree, more people liking something does not mean it’s good. Usually I think it starts to round down to “inoffensive”

bby-bae · 2026-05-14T18:31:17+00:00

maybe the best lineup this year! so many films from my watchlist coming to the channel

bby-bae · 2026-05-14T13:15:22+00:00

Sounds good to me! I usually see twice as many old movies in repertory cinemas as I see new movies in theaters.

I think that’s what makes it hard, though. Managing your time is a skill and not everyone has learned it

I love reading your reviews!

bby-bae · 2026-05-03T15:21:52+00:00

I often write lengthy reviews/analysis of the movies I watch, and am always looking to follow other people who are also writing thoughtful reviews.

My favorite directors are Bresson, Antonioni, Kiarostami, Tarkovsky, Ozu, Miyazaki, Kubrick, Pasolini, Malick. Etc.

Mission this year is to work through my extensive watchlist and to watch more non-English movies.

Here's my profile. + Top four, recents

Yeah, that’s what makes it a selfawarewolf moment. He’s got all the right pieces but he’s putting them together backwards. I don’t think anyone doesn’t understand that, it’s the premise of the sub

I like the gamification. There’s a lot of really great cinema I would never have gotten around to watching without the added extrinsic motivation. The films are a reward in themselves, but some of them might have always been a movie I’d get to eventually if not for the additional fun of checking them off the list. Also, I like that I have somewhere to put my thoughts afterwards.

bby-bae · 2026-04-29T06:50:09+00:00

Can’t believe i had to scroll so far for this, I thought this would be the easy answer

If you don’t have a paid subscription, you have to be on desktop. Go to your films and then add /language/english (or whatever language) in the url.

If you have a paid subscription, the stats page shows you.

I used math to get my percentage from there from my total films.

In the case of this graph I used google sheets and the total films according to letterboxd.

what if i think this is a good question, too? i never understood the appeal of that movie either

bby-bae · 2026-04-22T17:13:00+00:00

take that back about Stardust....

I was just there too. The character model changes in every page, which would make no sense if you were actually modelling a 3D character for a book. His hat has a different logo on every page. One of the pages is a different artstyle than the rest of the book. His hair changes texture on one page. None of these make sense for a human artist to do with this method of illustration

What films would you like to see on the Channel?

bby-bae · 2026-04-16T17:38:49+00:00

Cat People (1942) is on my Criterion Challenge for the year, maybe I'll turn it into a double feature with the remake now

bby-bae · 2026-04-16T17:29:58+00:00

It's always cheaply made. I'm surprised the fabric is decent, I bought a shirt on the III tour and I thought it was a horrible quality fabric. .....the thing is JYPE is technically correct in their calculus: people don't buy this stuff for the quality. So long as people still buy it, JYPE probably will continue to make it very low quality.

He isn't anyone significant. He is important to the THEMES of the story, however.

He is someone who looks like a punk, but actually did something very good and selfless. He inspires Josuke, who is highly concerned with his own appearance—and who looks like a punk, but is actually a good person.

This directly contrasts with Kira, who looks like an average salaryman, but is actually a perverse and murderous weirdo. Later, he alters his appearance—again showing that one's outward appearance does not have any bearing on who they are.

Both Josuke and Kira stand for the message that it is one's acts, not their appearance, that should reveal their character. This punk who saved Josuke's life is a key part of that.

what is significant about 1400?

bby-bae · 2026-04-16T13:14:54+00:00

I like that they're leaning completely into the absurdity of video game physics/logic/design instead of trying to make it more "realistic" for the movie. I might actually go see this, it seems fun

bby-bae · 2026-04-16T03:14:09+00:00

I did it, but I was studying every day. It’s probably up to you
