You know what I miss, just a casual conversation about movies.
Not everything has to be so deep. Just love the movie for what it is on the surface. The lighting, the shots, the costumes, the sets. IT’S ART.
I know movies are telling a story and sometimes it has a political agenda.
But sometimes it’s nice just to sit back and just watch.

agreed, I deleted letterboxd for a while just because I couldn't handle it but recently redownloaded it and am using it just for me - no more funny quips to get the guys and gals laughing

i think about this a lot specifically where film is concerned because that's the medium that most resonates with me but i think it could apply to any type of art. consider those "top four favorites" letterboxd videos - every time someone lists a bunch of old or foreign movies, tons of the comments accuse that person of being sooo pretentious, and then whoever picks legally blonde or something gets lauded for being "so real" and "actually honest with their answer". like hello?? you're following letterboxd on social media, watching a video of accomplished filmmakers and artists passionate about their field list their favorite movies, and turn on them when they pick the night of the hunter instead of star wars?? i used to regularly listen to students in film classes with me complain about all the old and "weird" movies we had to watch. i have met tons of people who want nothing more than to make movies or otherwise pursue art yet regularly write things off as too weird, too long, too old, too hard to understand.
what is the point of engaging with art then if you refuse to try and understand it when it's hard, don't look back to the older influences of modern art you enjoy, don't want to step outside of what you know and find comfort in? even if someone's watching all these movies with the goal of having big letterboxd numbers or falsely looking knowledgable about film, at least they're thoroughly engaging with the medium instead of watching nothing but american classics and writing off the rest.

okayyyy so we all live laugh and love movies here, don’t we?
YESS, great. i think that, although they can sometimes be weird and uncomfortable and, at times, really really boring, it’s kinda nourishing, for lack of better term, to watch old movies! i feel like a lot of the media that’s being made today, or atleast the most widely advertised media, is really not done with the intention of making something new and better than what came before. I partake in social media and all that jazz, and sometimes there are really great things made by people today, even if they require a bit more looking for, but the feeling of watching a good OLD movie is simply unbeatable. if u wanna movie rec, ASK cause I’ve got plentyyyy 💅

For the love of god, if you are going to make burgers from scratch please add some seasoning to the meat. At least some salt and pepper.
Why add so many different cheeses to the burger but yet no seasoning to the burger. Then to say the fat of the burger is what gives it flavor. No ding dong, it keeps it moist.
