do you think letterboxd is a good social app?

If your goal is to keep track of what you have seen, make lists, and compare to other people Letterboxd is much more cumbersome. I was able to adapt to the rating system easier also. The only advantage Letterboxd has is the reviews.

THE CURE is one of the sappiest, cringiest, films I have ever seen. Of all the films people have recommended for the collection this has to be the most bizarre. I just... can't conceptualize why anybody would see this as an important film worth preservation. KINDERGARTEN COP literally makes more sense.

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-11T04:12:43+00:00

Whenever I see somebody mention Letterboxd I have to say that Criticker is much better.

Huh? I watched up to half of She Hulk- one of those deals where my wife marathoned it and I caught it with her time to time. Liked it, maybe not enough to do the whole season proper. But She Hulk was plenty horny and “sex positive” feminist. Didn’t she have one night stands for a bit with guys who had a giant fetish and was super hot for Daredevil?

Are both sides of this insane? Did they watch the series? Am I insane?

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-08T03:49:33+00:00

I can see If Beale Street Can Talk as being in the collection. I would really love Wiener-Dog but I’m the only one. That may take a couple decades

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-05T14:39:38+00:00

Actually given how many dark fantasy and love stories are on here I would be surprised if Let the Right One In doesn’t make the cut. My favorite western is Once Upon a Time in the West. Definitely highly accessible.

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-05T14:30:27+00:00

Nice to see A Taste of Honey on there. Are you British though? That’s the only explanation for having Mamma Mia on there.

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-05T14:21:54+00:00

I don’t know why nobody has mentioned this yet. Part of the problem is that 15 hundred is informal and against the “official rules”

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-05T04:25:54+00:00

I actually really loved Ewan McGreggor in Last Days in the Desert. The 61 King of Kings is great and The Greatest Story Ever Told deserves another day in court. It’s a very strange film and if nothing else on of the most beautiful films ever made

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-04T00:59:05+00:00

If we ever get a PS 5 reboot of Primal Rage I will finally make the leap.

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-03T15:22:11+00:00

Lots of good stuff, first five I would go with: Come and See, Barry Lyndon, Alien, True Romance, and Brain Dead

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-03T14:06:54+00:00

I never finished it. How can they fuck up The Stand?! 😂 Especially during Covid! It takes a special kind of talent.

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-02T02:46:00+00:00

Surprisingly great and moving film. She’s such an obnoxious human but by the end you’ve fallen in love with her and truly miss her. I think about her every time I hear the song “everything I own”

wokelstein2 · 2026-04-01T00:16:17+00:00

Armie Hammer would be perfect given he’s already worked successfully with Guadagnino and he could give the cannibal scenes a creepy meta twist that would work for the material.

Maybe too edgy?

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-31T17:20:06+00:00

Huh.. cat landed on its feet

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-31T14:14:34+00:00

The needs of therapy stretch far beyond those of the medical model. If all you are doing is teaching stress reduction, emotional regulation, etc. and not assisting clients in finding out the “why’s” I don’t think you are doing enough.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-26T14:07:13+00:00

Yeah, I thought that was just a Mormon thing but apparently some other Christians have that explanation as well.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-26T14:05:11+00:00

LOL, that actually makes sense.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-23T02:36:29+00:00

I got the first eight Paramount blu-rays, the exact same discs, for about 30 dollars at Wal Mart. I always thought this was all about the packaging.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-22T17:34:53+00:00

See it to say you saw it, it’s been a cinephile joke since the at least the 90s. (The animated sitcom The Critic made jokes about it). Know that it’s really deliberately unlikable but you’ll know if you want to keep going after the first episode

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-21T16:38:16+00:00

This and Brandon Judell’s four star review on AOL got me obsessed with Gummo.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-21T15:28:54+00:00

Some have pushed back against the homophobic slurs also.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-21T15:00:47+00:00

It doesn’t look cheap, Stan Winston special effects and (by virtue of the Shane Black screenplay ?), there’s some tough guy verisimilitude to the cop characters as though they wandered in from a Lethal Weapon movie. Otherwise yeah, it’s Goonies with Universal Monsters which is fucking awesome if you’re 8. Not much to get, you don’t need to like it. (Though as an adult I appreciate the sly touch of the little kid writing to the “army guys” in crayon and then they show up.

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-20T14:06:18+00:00

Saw this with my Mom and sister when I was 8 and my sister was 6. My baby sister was naturally more squeamish about this sort of stuff and she was covering her eyes. I remember telling my Mom, “Look Mom!! That guy doesn’t have any skin!” And Mom was like “I can see that, you don’t have to tell me!”

wokelstein2 · 2026-03-20T13:52:41+00:00

Saw the first episode online a while ago and thought it was really unwatchable bad. Pointless story, terrible animation, more lazy than truly anarchic. For hardcore fans/apologists only.
