i think my inability to rate things on a 0-5 scale reeeaaallly holds me back from being more active on the app. for example, my experience/enjoyability of a movie could be at a 4, while still acknowledging that the actual, objective quality of the movie could is a 2 (or vice versa). a star rating doesn't have enough room to convey that, so i'm not always sure how to rate things in those scenarios. i also always notice myself feeling much more positively about a movie as i'm coming out of it than i end up feeling about it a couple weeks later, so i'm constantly having to change my ratings around. think i'm gonna try the method of simply reviewing with no rating and <3'ing movies if i liked them

On letterboxd. Like how do you rate the Virgin Suicides or Killer of the Flower Moon?! So heavy and devastating!
Fully sticking to just saying whether i like a movie or not going forward!

Rotten tomatoes is so ghetto. Sometimes 7%s are like 80%s. I use >3 stars as I definitely wouldn't hate this movie it's worked for me so far

i want to know how you felt watching anatomy of a fall after a breakup or what it was like to take your niece to the paw patrol movie in your depressing hometown movie theatre or that you were inspired to watch cleopatra jones after reading rupaul’s new memoir. i don’t really want to know why you gave dune 2 4.5 stars nor am i interested in your quippy one-liner about the zone of interest (i hate all letterboxd reviews that are try-hard, quippy one liners, but I really hated those!)

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

This is the only thing that keeps me sane at work. It's so slow right now. If anyone is wondering why I've posted like 9 times today.

i always get stuck choosing which stuff to watch/read/get into next when i look at my huge former watchlists & TBR's. a lot of items are things i put on there years ago and never got around to, so usually by the time i check the list again, my tastes have totally changed. i realized it was hard to get myself excited or motivated about half the stuff i put on there anymore, but i felt indebted to knocking it out anyway just because it was on the list. i'd recommend letting your current feelings/impulses take the wheel, and trust that you'll come back around to any of the other options if they're right for you later on.
