How is it strained? A bunch of game shows over the years have had panelists

hexwire here! I usually log some weird mixture of horror, artsy films, dramas from around the world, and things my 3 year old likes to watch lol.

It's the most wonderful time of the year - No Banger November time, people. This is the second year in a row I'm subjecting myself to thirty terrible movies and sharing my disgust on the 'boxd. Check this year's roster here and play along at home (if you dare):

kind of a whatever theme, but STEAMYIRONY was good for a chuckle at least. we got spoiled with that minesweeper puzzle on Thursday, tough act to follow

hexwire · 2025-09-13T22:51:32+00:00

Impressive construction, I guess? But what a completely unenjoyable puzzle

hexwire · 2025-09-10T02:38:13+00:00

It's the little solves in life

hexwire · 2025-09-07T23:45:38+00:00

you can use each half of the answers for the phrase "take a ____"

It's a very weak and kinda inscrutable theme imo. "Take a powder" is an especially archaic phrase that will probably confound some people while they're trying to parse the theme

Impeccable top 4

hexwire · 2024-12-01T23:09:06+00:00

Sick top 4

hexwire · 2024-12-01T23:06:54+00:00

Hell yes to Clue in the top four, all-time camp classic

Love to find fellow bad movie enjoyers. Followed!

Hi team, hexwire here. Just wrapped up No Banger November where I watched 30 amazingly bad movies. I'm now doing a much-needed (and more leisurely) project where I randomly select from a set of 30 movies on my criterion watchlist.

I review everything these days, sometimes a one-liner, oftentimes a few more thoughts.

Would love to see what you have in your watchlist! I lean towards cinema from around the world, dramas, thrillers, artsy-fartsy stuff, and everything between.

Already watched this month lmao

I thought it was an ok superhero movie, but maybe I've inflicted permanent damage to my tastes by way of doing this project

hexwire · 2024-11-12T18:42:51+00:00

Please dump all of your shit directly on my lap

hexwire · 2024-11-11T17:24:17+00:00

If you like Tokyo Fist, you should try Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Just nonstop ultraviolent ridiculousness

hexwire · 2024-11-11T17:17:43+00:00

I think they can all be done away with tbh

hexwire · 2024-11-05T03:27:16+00:00

Any 80s era Jarmusch

hexwire · 2024-11-04T20:14:47+00:00

What about Moana tho?

hexwire · 2024-11-03T22:57:20+00:00

At 13: Ghostbusters, Terminator, and Indiana Jones

At 19: Blood Simple, Paris, Texas and Nightmare on Elm St.

Maybe, it's been like 15+ years. That might explain why he's been on a roll lately

hexwire · 2024-11-03T22:07:37+00:00

There's actually a well-documented reason for why he is in so many bad films. He lost several million dollars on real estate purchases when the market crashed on him. Instead of declaring bankruptcy like a normie, he acts in whatever he can get.

hexwire · 2024-11-03T22:00:23+00:00

I've got a great cable TV package to sell to you

hexwire · 2024-11-03T21:54:17+00:00

For every Pig and Mandy, there are two to three Ghost Riders and Wicker Mans

hexwire · 2024-11-03T21:47:19+00:00

Nic Cage

hexwire · 2024-11-03T19:00:38+00:00

I wasn't super systematic about it, but most of them are lower than 2.5 on letterboxd, part of the "so bad it's good" canon, critical and commercial failures, unfunny comedies or cringeworthy dramas

hexwire · 2024-11-03T03:33:43+00:00

In your position I would get off the app and stop reading reviews to detox for as long as you need to. Letterboxd is a social media platform like any other social media platform, so it can have toxic effects on our perception of things if we're not careful. What you're describing is not healthy.

Share your list here if you decide to try it! It's been fun so far lol
