I'll never understand the large amount of YouTubers and reviewers who constantly feel the need to open their reviews with millennial snark, prefacing their reviews by dunking on the suit acting era of movies. It was still just as much art made by talented artists as the thing they're setting up to praise as making Godzilla movies not embarrassing to say you like anymore, apparently. I don't know why to praise what the people working on Minus movies were able to do with such a small budget, they have to put down the older artists work.

Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families. No more excuses.

with the amount of work and finesse Boban Filipović (Acheroraptor sculpture) puts into his sculpts, he should be more widely recognized as a stellar Paleoartist. A treasure trove of references, and study

Every cradle of civilization based its existence on modified grass. Corn, wheat, rice, emmer, barley, oats, all grass. Grass didn't exist until the late Cretaceous and didn't spread until the Oligocene, 30 mya. The Great Filter is grass.

Film culture escaping IMDB's boomer/gen x tyranny and being given a new place for younger people to consolidate around has opened up an entire generation to different kinds of movies and if the cost is being forced to see teenagers posting annoying reviews it's a fair tradeoff
Replying to @staticbluebat
people who are too young to remember a world before letterboxd really don't understand. it's been the most significant positive force for cinephilia of the century. for all its faults, it has completely changed film culture for the better

I think Letterboxd is a convenient way to track what I've watched and see what my friends are watching
I hate Letterboxd. I will always hate Letterboxd. It's a toxic, performative place, full of tryhards and idiots. Your reviews aren't good. They aren't funny or wise. You are not erudite enough to articulate your written thoughts on a movie in a way that adds ANY public value.

being a 30 year old guy who loves nathan fielder is so life affirming. it’s like when I give my cat a churu and he goes crazy. like it’s so beautiful that someone out there makes something for you and you enjoy it exactly as much as you’re supposed to
