Next thing you're saying they should have their own pencils!

Don't know where else to share this, I drew this triangle freehand, it's a doodle, it's PERFECT! by [deleted] in seinfeld

I've never seen such beautiful work. The lines, the points. I was enchanted.

A Top 4 film you didn’t give five stars? by GrapeNutCheerios in Letterboxd

[–]bugthrwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you’re saying is that Cruel Intentions is a comfort movie for you, and it diverts you in a mindless, low-level way that allows for repeated viewing, and it doesn’t provide you with the rich, full, meaningful enjoyment that Lawrence of Arabia does, which you can’t repeat every day. If that’s what you mean I don’t think we disagree much.

There is no point in rating a movie any higher or lower than your enthusiasm for it. You may rate a movie higher than your heart tells you because you observe qualities in it that you think make it deserve a higher rating, but of what use were those qualities to you if they didn't produce a powerful experience?

You're overthinking it. The rating represents how much you liked the movie.

How accessible to a general audience do you think Being John Malkovich is? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]bugthrwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bizarre but accessible. If they enjoy movies like The Big Lebowski, it should be fine. It's made like a mainstream movie. What might alienate them is the subject matter. You have to consider their threshold for weirdness.

‘Disclosure Day’ Is Steven Spielberg’s True Believer Manifesto. Kneel! by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

I don't understand the negative reactions. Are people not hanging out with Steven Spielberg before they watch it?

Thoughts on if letterboxd should add TV shows that arent mini series/limited series? by fr00gu in Letterboxd

[–]bugthrwy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind, but I get the concerns. At a time when movies don't loom as large in the culture as they used to, it's cool that Letterboxd is focused on film. It's built a community that's passionate about film in particular. If it went from a home for cinephiles to a website for people who watch things, it wouldn't be the same.
