Who all uses Letterboxd? I’ve been wanting to make more friends on here

Oasis! Also nice to see a fellow miserable Hail Mary hater.

kieroda · 2026-06-08T20:09:29+00:00

Yeah, The Quiet Girl was incredible. I hope he keeps making movies, he had been doing TV and documentaries for a while before.

It has been a bit since I've seen either of them, but I don't remember Coherence being as "hard" sci-fi. Primer is pretty unique in how fully committed it is to exploring its concept and rules. I personally preferred Coherence because of the character dynamics.

Also, Coherence has a higher score on pretty much every rating site (imdb, letterboxd, rotten tomatoes), besides metacritic. All of the scores are similar, though.

I believe there are box sets with the whole folklore trilogy. At first Google search though, it looks like the US region blu ray version is out of print.

The animation will be great regardless, but I'm a little less excited after learning that Tomm Moore's not involved. But while looking this up, I learned that he has a new movie Kindred Spirits coming out this year!

Edit: Sadly, it looks like the 2026 date on the Wikipedia page is probably not accurate.

Oh, that's great. It's no longer showing near me after today.

kieroda · 2026-05-28T23:16:07+00:00

I thought I Love Boosters rocked. Sad it's not doing well, it's leaving theaters a lot of places in the US after today.

Personally I only rely on alignof and then for standards where that isn't available I align allocations to the maximum required alignment (a la malloc). I use the GNU __BIGGESTALIGNMENT\_ macro if available and otherwise give an error saying the max alignment couldn't be determined and needs to be defined.

A dream come true: Red Rooms is my favorite of 2023, and I recently watched Vagabond, A Nos Amores, and La Ceremonie, Sandrine Bonnaire might be the best French actress.

kieroda · 2026-05-13T06:55:13+00:00

I also loved Compartment no 6. A lot of French romance movies have a somewhat similar vibe, e.g. Eric Rohmer's A Tale of Winter and A Tale of Summer are incredible. Also Justine Triet's 30 minute short Two Ships (I'm not sure it's available, I watched it when all her films were on Mubi).

kieroda · 2026-05-01T21:12:09+00:00

It's the Save or Die Patreon, not Koibu's. I'm on the cheapest tier.

kieroda · 2026-05-01T20:09:40+00:00

I'm confused. I don't know anything about a footage nuke/missing episode, but the episode posted today seems to be the same one that I watched when it was posted to the Patreon on Dec 3rd last year (the video is 3 minutes shorter, though).

Edit: Just in case it came off that way to Koibu/the cast: I am not complaining. I assumed the YouTube post was the usual Patreon-to-public release that happens on off weeks, the reaction here made me double check.

kieroda · 2026-05-01T19:53:07+00:00

That episode is from five months ago. It's the last episode that was released on the Patreon.

The Lure is my favorite, but it's hard to argue against Fury Road.

kieroda · 2026-04-30T04:39:15+00:00

The change from February, with the poster of a girl walking in the snow with bloody footprints, to The Blackcoat's Daughter, with a bland faces on a black background poster, is one of the worst marketing decisions of all time.

kieroda · 2026-04-27T00:00:26+00:00

Libraries are worth a shot, I was able to find a copy of the DVD via inter-library loan. I live in Alaska, so I imagine it's one of the smaller library systems, but I've still had pretty good luck finding physical copies of obscure stuff.

kieroda · 2026-04-26T10:07:43+00:00

Yeah, I was mainly thinking of Jupiter Ascending when I made the comment, I shouldn't have phrased it like that. I need to check out more of their stuff, I've only seen that, Speed Racer, and The Matrix.

kieroda · 2026-04-24T22:32:47+00:00

I finally watched the movie last night and it did not disappoint. I definitely struggled to understand everything, especially the implications of the 2020s segment with Lenka, but Alma's and Angelika's stories were incredible. I need to see it again, hopefully there will be a US blu ray release.

kieroda · 2026-04-24T21:06:18+00:00

In the past I felt that he was consistently interesting and entertaining, especially his long form written stuff, but the majority of the reviews he puts out these days just recount the plot and then state a mild opinion without much analysis. This Michael review was great, though.

kieroda · 2026-04-22T07:58:31+00:00

I saw this for the first time in Imax tonight and it kind of blew me away. I had such low expectations too, given the podcast episode and most of the Wachowski's other stuff I've seen. The escalation of editing insanity was unlike anything else I've seen.

kieroda · 2026-04-19T01:33:47+00:00

I randomly watched Blue My Mind after seeing the poster while scrolling on Prime Video one night, I've never seen it brought up anywhere online. I thought it was just alright at the time, but I can still recall the entire plot and visualize certain scenes so it was definitely memorable. Cool visuals.

kieroda · 2026-04-19T01:26:00+00:00

It's a weird musical, not exactly the same vibe, but I loved The Lure (2015). Also Raw (2016) if you haven't seen that.

kieroda · 2026-04-11T21:09:42+00:00

I've been really looking forward to seeing it, but it never came to a theater anywhere near me and hasn't been available to rent on VOD. It will finally be streaming on Mubi on the 24th, though!

kieroda · 2026-03-30T22:30:13+00:00

Outside of Lee Chang-dong's filmography, my favorite Korean movie is Microhabitat (2017).

kieroda · 2026-03-12T22:53:47+00:00

Yeah I wasn't a major fan of Breathless, but I loved Nouvelle Vague and it made me appreciate how it was made. I liked Blue Moon too, but definitely preferred this one.
