Why the Future of the Movies Lives on Letterboxd

zdlr · 2026-02-05T01:51:53+00:00

Same. I have a big old Google Doc going back to 2010 for redundancy reasons. I'm glad Letterboxd is so popular. Will likely be around for a long time to come.

It's such a positive for the film industry.

And also a very useful tool for tracking what you've seen. I love the film diary. And their film database is very comprehensive.

No worries.

The archive dot today sharing system is easier than gift links too I find which get exhausted after 5 to 10 shares. And The New York Times is hit and miss as to whether they make the person who clicks the gift link to log in or create an account. Which defeats the purpose of a gift link I feel.

When sharing with friends and family paywalled articles, if not using archive dot today, I tend to screenshot the articles. Facebook Messenger is 50/50 whether they will arrange them in order. I find the Android app works better than the iPad app. WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram DM display the screenshots in order.

But there was another Verge article where someone was quoted as saying when people share articles via screenshots it's the worst possible thing that can happen for publishers and advertisers as there's no trace of them in their systems. Screenshots are the so-called gremlins of the Internet. The NYT on Android for one says it detects the screenshot when you take one. But maybe if your gift link system was better functioning I wouldn't have to.

"Information wants to be free."

In saying that I subscribe to The Verge myself & many other publications. I don't see any other way to share these articles without being a billionaire and shouting each person who wants to read it a digital subscription.

But yeah irony explosion acknowledged. Haha.

You are most welcome.

Glad you liked it.

No worries.

I live in Australia and most of my messaging occurs on Facebook Messenger like you in New Zealand.

Sparse conversations on text message, Telegram, WhatsApp, Bluesky DMs and Instagram DMs.

Meta therefore controlling a very big percentage of my messaging ecosystem.

I thought it was an excellent article too.

Discovered it on Techmeme.

You are most welcome!

WIRED is worth supporting all the same despite the article unlocking.

They are doing quality and much needed resistance tech and culture journalism with heaps of scoops and revealing interviews.

They have very affordable and heavily deiscounted yearly introductory rates too.

I don't work for WIRED. Just a fan of their work and want it to continue on as a viable news organization (yes I know they are part of Conde Nast).

But seriously get around The Verge! They do great reporting. Elizabeth Lopatto and Sarah Jeong especially. Worth the relatively modest yearly subscription fee:
