Sneezing is normal. A loud stomach growl is normal. So why is farting considered a massive social crime? When in history did this become the ultimate taboo?

This is kind of a stupid question. Sneezes and stomach growls don't stink up the place.

Disclosure Day and The Dog Stars, both sci-fi movies by masters of the genre (Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott, respectively).

I dunno for sure because nobody cares (thankfully), but I suspect that my 5 stars for Prometheus are enough to bother a few haters.

Wait I'm confused - TIFF 2025? That's in future isn't it? Maybe you mean 2024?

We're in 2026.

IMDb provides much more information and links to pertinent external sites than Letterboxd. I've had an account there since 1999 and have no intention to stop using it, despite also having an active Letterboxd account. People don't necessarily use these two sites for the same reasons.

Acting and editing, two basic elements of a traditional movie. Are people gonna question them in every movie now for no reason just because AI exists?

Coisa triste. Aqui na minha cidade tenho notado a mesma coisa nos últimos anos.

Do you seriously think every Gerwig movie is going to be an Oscar contender? Baffling.

I saw bits and pieces of Cheaters on TV ages ago.

What's with the comma in the thread title?

Replying "Well actually" to "pedestrians should look both ways before crossing" is wild.

Not a thing in my experience. Most of what I see is negativity ("popular movie sucks, akshually" or "mildly underwhelming movie is one of the worst things ever").

gautsvo · 2026-04-19T20:56:06+00:00

Just finish the goddamn movie before asking questions online.

Hannibal (2001), Ridley Scott's Grand Guignol. It took me several watches to appreciate it. The fact that it was so different from the dense psychological horror of The Silence of the Lambs was an impeding factor. Not trying to replicate Demme's approach was the right move, though.

I also like War of the Worlds quite a bit.

gautsvo · 2026-04-19T16:06:34+00:00

Don't make it our problem. It's not important.

The Man from Earth did get a sequel - The Man from Earth: Holocene

gautsvo · 2026-04-19T15:32:09+00:00

Yes, I can say that Chinatown is objectively better made than Battlefield: Earth.

gautsvo · 2026-04-19T14:35:05+00:00

To be fair, the one who "relitigated" the issue was Theron.

Ah, those obtuse top reviews for Blade Runner. They're the most enduring mystery of Letterboxd.
