sex with friends can be cool but maybe wholesale eschewing any boundaries or consideration for things beyond one’s own desires in an emotionally vulnerable population of late bloomers with attachment issues was a bit hasty

you go by premiere bc movies release in different countries at different times, it makes marketing/awards harder, and many movies never get released. sorry your IMDb list looks chopped or whatever but idk what to tell u
38 y/o gf who still says “sweet summer child”: they’re debating whether PAWG is a slur and i just can’t with the hellsite today.
Me [heard “PAWG” and got so hard i got nauseous]: i think i hauve Covid
@mrreebo1@youngpoultry even if i agreed with that being wrong info, why does that matter? for people who actually need the real info they will know "festivals in 2014, wide in 2015". which lb and wiki do already! no one who NEEDS to know is looking it up on lb, seeing the year, and calling it a day
does anyone get upset that wikipedia (and basically all websites like that) says obsession is a 2025 film too or do these "the year should reflect when i could see it!!!" takes only matter on letterboxd because it makes their 2026 lists have a movie marked as 2025 in them
There's a massive flaw in this proposition in that it only ever seems to account for wide releases in one part of the world as opposed to everywhere else. Somewhere else there is another country where One Battle After Another is a 2026 film. A festival release helps simplify it.
@Whimz118 it’s how you document when a film was first shown to a public audience, its actual year of release. its release date shouldn’t be shifted because of arbitrary rules about when US distributors decide to show it in multiplexes.
demanding that letterboxd change the year to reflect individuals subjective experiences is strange cause like, more than the fact that releases dates vary widely for everyone, the art was finished at a specific time! obsession was completed and shown in 2025! its a 2025 movie!!
like i just kind of dont understand why people even care what year the movie is marked as? you can put it in whatever list you want you know. i know people who put movies from years ago in their current year list cause it didnt come out in their country! its fine!!
honestly i think letterboxd is completely right to do this, cause the date should reflect when the movie was finished and shown to the public for the first time! we reference when artwork was completed, not the first time it was shown in a gallery!
Hate how Letterboxd counts festivals as when a movie released because I feel like it’s trying to gaslight me into thinking Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die and Obsession are 2025 movies because twenty people or whatever saw them last year.
If my whole family ate sandwiches for every meal 3 times a day only our grocery bill would still be 800 dollars a month. To follow budgeting guidelines, I would need to make 64,000 dollars a year…to afford to only eat sandwiches. You can’t budget your way out of poverty.
I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.
