I just can’t fathom caring about a aggregate ranking on a social media site. Suggests insecurity with your own opinions. The Top 500 movies of all time are the ones that I say they are cause I actually have faith in my own taste

[bee @puppycelebrity]

a marvel movie is gonna crack the letterboxd top 500 at this rate and i hope that is the breaking point for people to do a mass exodus to another film logging app

People will look you dead in the eye and tell you Legend of Korra was bad

How it feels seeing new avatar content release meaning I gotta deal with one of the stupidest fandoms on the planet once again

[j aubrey 🤠 @jaubreyYT]

So this is a confirmation right

This will probably annoy some DSA folks to my left and centrist Dems to my right but Im prepared to go full 2016 style Bernie Bro for her. The Khive is gonna create a new slur for how toxic I will be in support of this woman

If you believe Letterboxd users have really high standards just take a look at what they think about Revenge of the Sith

planet for 125 million years, in the span of a single human lifespan. I don’t mean to be sanctimonious, but it should give us extreme moral pause.

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

I know this is technically life-saving and human beings are no strangers to driving species to extinction, but this would be a turning point in our place on this planet. To willfully wipe out an entire family of the animal kingdom, 3,500 unique species, that have been on this

BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.

The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.

The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.

Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.

Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.

@jph408 @GarmyGarms @TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd Yeah we should just implement a feature where you can edit who the director of the movie is because isn’t that an arbitrary line in the sand too? Between director and first AD or director of photography or production designer?

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

@jph408 @GarmyGarms @TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd Also it’s not arbitrary at all! Just because you or I could not personally go to Cannes does not mean it was not released to the public. A movie released exclusively in Japan is still released that year even tho I can’t personally afford a trip to Japan

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

@jph408 @GarmyGarms @TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd I think in a database of hundreds of thousands of films full of fringe cases and outliers, this is much harder to implement than you are assuming.

Like a million times easier to keep the simplified logic that literally every other film database uses imo

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

@jph408 @GarmyGarms @TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd Admittedly I pivoted to talking about international releases in the case of Soy Cuba, since that was also brought up here.

Doesn’t affect me personally. You keep calling festivals advance screenings. They’re not advance screenings. Those are the premieres.

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

@jph408 @GarmyGarms @TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd This just falls apart when you look at any movies made outside the traditional Hollywood wide release system. Is Army of Shadows a 2006 release instead of 1969? House from 2010 instead of 1977? I Am Cuba from 1995 instead of 1964? What about movies that never get a wide release?

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

@jph408 @GarmyGarms @TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd Should Star Wars be listed as a 2011 film because that’s when they last made edits to it? Or do we acknowledge that even if a movie is released before its final state, it’s still been released?

[Simon Louis Ong @simonlouisong]

@TheEricGoldman @Illegalraft @letterboxd How would you want them to classify movies that do not get any additional releases after their festival run?
