Letterboxd thread: it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas edition
Post your profile, discuss recent watches, be festive
http://letterboxd.com/jacob1000x/
sl0th you are a fucking faggot. Emily Blunt is great.
>>63955772
Glad you enjoyed Lobster, one of my favourites of the year for sure.
Did you watch hateful eight dvdscr? I'll definitely wait and see that one in cinema, currently assessing if I'll watch any of the others that have been put online. Hard to find the balance of a film that I'm bothered about enough that I want to watch now rather than a few months time, yet also not bothered about enough that I'm happy to watch in bad quality, will probably end up watching none
>>63956272
Yeah Lobster was brilliant didn't expect to laugh as much as I did and yeah Hateful Eight was in good quality but I definitely plan on seeing it again in cinema, just annoying we in the UK have to wait another 3 weeks for it
Think I will enjoy Lobster if I found Dogtooth painfully average. How's the quality and how much impact does the unsubbed French parts have?
posting in public about sites like this is a special kind of stupid
>>63956526

Hard to say if you'll like it more than Dogtooth.
>>63956594
Why?
>>63956659
Thanks. I was just wondering if people who love The Lobster are way into Dogtooth as well.
Why should I use ANOTHER social network site for film discussion? mubi died in the ass, what makes this site so special?
>>63956753
It's just a site for tracking and rating movies. No need to get involved with the community, it has elitist fucks just like everywhere else.
where were you when Hentai Cop got repeatedly owned by the users of PTP

>>63957948
Inland Empire, really? I got that as a gift when it was new but I couldn't get through it. I must have watched half of it when I looked at the time remaining, swore to myself and went to bed.
what happened to this website?
Went /festive/ too early, going to have to briefly go un-festive for a day or two, will start with a Cirio H Santiago triple bill of Dune Warriors/Silk/The Devastator today.
Black Christmas is one of the most genuinely unsettling and best slasher/horror films I've seen, was very pleasantly surprised.

I've gotta be honest, there's nothing sexual about those breasts what so ever. They just are part of her chest.
>>63959317
well I'm a young lonely man who has never talked to a woman outside of school matters let alone have sex so I find the picture highly arousing
>>63959317
any tits attached to a 16 y.o. virgin should be arousing faggot
>>63959514
Please don't be rude to one another, this is a festive thread, please get into the holiday spirit
>>63956741
I liked The Lobster quite a bit (8/10 in my book) but was not at all into Dogtooth. the thing with Yorgos is that he's all questions, no answers and I didn't really find the ones posed in Dogtooth all that interesting desu.
>>63958264
SilentDawn is the greatest pseudo-cinephile of the entire Letterboxd community.
>>63960283
his comment was bad enough, but I was mostly referring to the embarrassing advertisement for a fucking action figure on a film website
>>63960531
yeah, I realized that, just wanted to bash on him some.

You want us to go to a music based site to talk about movies?
>>63961804
RYM is beginning its campaign to roll out their film section into a separate but connected website called Cinenos. It will launch in April with a beta before then. Your RYN account will be transferred over to the new site. The film resources on RYM are just as complete as the music resources.

not necessarily, it's more that he tries far too hard at using big words and sounding well-read, as if he knew jack shit about what he was talking about. he made some "Inherent Vice Official Fan Club" or whatever and watched the film like 30 times in two weeks. he's bizarre.
Looks like PTAbro might be back.

>>63962389
What are your thoughts on Berlin Horse? I really don't understand the cult hype on those types of films. I mean the top review calls it trippy. Which disgusts me.
What do you guys think of Four Rooms? I really didn't expect something so funny.
>>63965594
How come little review symbols don't show up sometimes.

>>63955407
Well fuck.
This movie was actually shit.
What a safe and boring film. Expected something much more harder than the same old tired message of drug war.
Like we don't already know CIA with Contras op. orchestrated the whole drug issue as we know it to day but no Dennis didn't even bother going in there with this
DARK WEBB PROPER FUCKING ADAPTATION WHEN, go hard or dont even bother at all making movies of drug war and violence
What Christmas viewing do you have lined up?
>>63968982
The highlighted ones here
>>63957948
>it's a "two films by the same director in favourites" user
>>63968981
>1920x800
Was that the aspect ratio of the film or was SPARKS release fucking cut?
>>63955698
>Favourite director: Quentin Tarantino/Stanley Kubrick(From what Ive seen)
>Favourite producer: Steven Spielberg
>Favourite writer: Drew Goddard
>Favourite cinematographer: Wally Pfister
>Favourite composer: Tom Holkenson AKA 'Junkie XL'
>Favourite editor: Kirk Baxter
>>63969461
I'm not sure what you are asking but if you are asking why it isn't 1920x1080 it's because 1920x800 is a 2.40:1 aspect ratio which is a fairly standard widescreen ratio for movies to be in
>>63969461
2:4:1 isn't too common, is it? I'm pretty sure Sicario is 2:35:1, in any case. That's a difference of less than 20 pixels, but still.

>>63970758
I know. It had some good bits like Leif sacrifice but other than it is quite the letdown the show. The main character Ragnar is such insufferable cunt that I wanted him to get killed by sixth episode.
I'm going to start the River or Top Gear from first season after I've watched the Vikings (or dropped it, I think I will drop it)
I lost a friend I used to sit down and watch movies so I haven't even watched that many in weeks. Feels bad man.
>>63962389
>THUNDER COCK
Hi again.
Mishima sure is good if you're looking for something cool that's on Hulu. That's my main recommendation at the moment.
>>63969900
blu-ray.com says OAR of 2.39:1
I imagine it is just whatever is on the blu that has been used.

with how hyped up the babadook was i was really disappointed in it.
the book reading sequences were 10/10 but the rest of it was pretty generic stuff.

D-do you big boys have any r-recs for a cute lil fuccboi like me? :3
>>63963495
I watch movies and flicks at 360p at 1,5x speed
I'm looking for some horror movies in the vein of Altered States, Jacobs Ladder, and Videodrome, any recs? Basically movies that revolve around hallucinations.
>>63972032
It Follows
>>63971134
yes.
>>63972032
Watch Session 9.
>>63972513
I was thoroughly surprised by this movie. All the parts with the voice memos were really well done.
>>63972550
For sure. Memorable in a lot of ways. I really like the score. Asylum stories freak me out.
And then there's Caruso's "Fuck you!".
>>63972735
Have you seen Grave Encounters? For a crappy b-grade horror movie it's great. Awesome and slow build up, really clever concept, one of my favorite asylum movies. Endlessly rewatchable.
>>63972858
Yeah I did actually. It was alright, went a little too over-the-top for me towards the end and I'm not a huge fan of found footage. It didn't really play the asylum card, it was just a setting for spooky ghosts and grabby hands.
It was mostly fine but not good enough to even try the sequel for me.
>>63973043
I saw it when I was young and always had a love for it. I agree it gets ridiculous towards the end, the monster design is retarded too.
The sequel has the benefit of being completely over the top the entire film but I never liked it much at all.
Man, the ending to The Lobster is really a copout. Did he really need to have the exact same ending as Dogtooth, pretty much beat for beat, shot for shot?
>all these letterboxd users logging rewatches of Star Wars 7
makes me want to vomit to think that I actually follow people who would willingly have paid to see this twice already
>>63974727
I dont even understand how people can be hyped for that shit heap, if you look aat the director anda ctors its bound to suck ass
>>63974727
>>63974789
did you not grow up watching Star Wars seeing it as a seminal formative work on the level of Tolkein or did your parents not love you enough?

Thanks! The benefits of writing an entire framework from scratch. There is as little bloat as possible (every single user feature fits into less than 100KB of code). Not having to host images is also a big help.
I'm literally adding something new/making something better every day over Winter break. I'm finalising code to delete Lists I we speak. Yesterday I wrote proper granular date display info (days/hours ago, etc.)
The review system is my next priority along with a cool looking logo. Once those are down it would pretty much be on par with MUBI at least. Then I'll add more and more stuff by the month.
I have one planned feature letterboxd doesn't have that should be pretty nifty...
Letterboxd doesn't have any features so that wont be hard lmao

>>63971209
>>63976574
Babadook was good. I wonder if with these kind of films it's the set-up that creates such a large difference of opinion. The sound design was superb and really effective, I can absolutely see that the impact would be lost on a small screen and with a 2.0 or bad sound set up.

>>63972032
I recommend Eraserhead. Yeah, it's a bit of a cliche at this point, and people love to shit on Lynch for perhaps being weird for the sake of being weird - but it is unsettling in a way that few other films have since been able to replicate.
