What makes Letterboxd great is that it's user-friendly. There are profiles which make profound reviews and there are where it's basically twitter shitpost. I love reading both.

I watched Thor with my friend recently. It wasn’t a great movie but I had fun. I like to enjoy movies so I always like to look out for what I find fun or enjoyable about movies. My friend did not like the movie and then they went on Letterboxd and started reading everyone’s negative reviews. As they read the negative reviews, I saw them get angrier and feel worse and worse about the movie. It just made me sad. I feel like I can’t enjoy the movie anymore because Letterboxd caused my friend to murder my parents and then get sentenced to life in prison.

I'm only learning this now. I use letterboxd just to record what movies I watched and will watch, just to keep track of things. I don't review or interact with other profiles so I never realized this was a pseudo social media, that makes me like this platform a bit less. But it explains all those times I went "hmm, 3.9/5, I'm not sure if I should watch this movie, maybe the reviews can change my mind" and the top review is some weird one-line shitpost. The site is still useful though, but I'm kind of meh on it now, and reading the shitposts and low effort jokes, I sort of like the people that I share this hobby with a bit less now :/

I discovered Letterboxd from a content creator I follow on Instagram and I can see it kinda changed them. What went from a wholesome content creator about movies turned into a little… judgy and a little pompous (I know there’s a word I want to use but I forgot what it was) if you get what I mean. To be fair, I don’t watch a lot of movies these days, maybe because the pandemic killed my love for the cinema and made me realise I don’t need movies to stay alive (before the pandemic I’d go to the cinema every week just to see what’s up), maybe because I just don’t care anymore. I’m more of a short film/animation person when it comes to films anyways. Still, sometimes when I watch a movie I’m here to have a some fun and a good time, not necessarily to blow my brains out with something a little more… sophisticated? Don’t get me wrong, I love movies like those too, I just need to take some time to get my mindset ready for stuff like that.
