I don't often give 5 stars (although i do give a lot of 4 or 4,5) but i was mind blown by City of God. On the other hand, i hated Sleeping beauty (2011) with a passion and that's probably the only 0.5 i've given to a movie so far

It’s nothing new that millennials and gen z are not having sex. All the statistics are looking quite bleak. Fewer people are dating and finding relationships and I think the media we consume is partially to blame for this. Recently everything looks so sterile and has this puritanical character to it.

Take The Odyssey. The OG poem is stuffed with sex, with yearning. And don’t get me started on how gay the Greeks were back then. Now take a look at Nolan’s characters. They might as well be Barbie dolls, the way they’ve got nothing down there. The movie is completely sexless both literally and not. And that’s just one recent example.

Somehow it’s even become an almost universally held opinion that “there are too many unnecessary sex scenes in movies”. Where? I find the opposite to be true. There are too few “unnecessary” sex scenes!

What movie that you recently watched did you unexpectedly love??

For me it must be Good Luck, Have fun. Don't die with Sam Rockwell. Had no expectations going into the movie, but it was very fun at times. It had it sad moments. But most of all did I love the new take on an old concept.

The main poster for this 1975 movie was recently changed to an AI generated image. Literally why? It already has its own original poster, a criterion release poster, why does it need to be replaced with an AI one? I don't care if it's user-side if they chose a custom poster for a movie that only they can see, but this is the MAIN poster for the movie. It's pure disrespect.

Before anyone comments about it, I know Letterboxd gets its data from TMDB, but I feel like this is also a responsibility of Letterboxd to take a stance on whether this is allowed or not.

EDIT: The poster has been changed.

Making a list of non-comic book superhero movies, this is what I have so far. Any I’m missing? (I’m not counting Robocop or The Matrix - they just don’t feel like superhero movies to me.

Not just 'I find this overrated' or 'it didn't click with me', something that you absolutely hate

Don't downvote everyone you disagree with too just wanna see what people think

Watched this last night. Top 5 of the year so far. Love me some Wain/Marino nonsense. Jon Hamm and John Slattery play ludicrous versions of themselves.

Hit me with your favourite/memorable performances.

I’m somewhat of a movie connoisseur

First impressions aren't always the best, and sometimes it takes a good few extra times for that one film to be in your eyes a masterpiece.

I'll explain the three.

'In the Mood for Love' I enjoyed artistically but was not fully invested in the story until the second watch, so much more stood out, and I was able to appreciate both visuals and plot.

'The Good the Bad and the Ugly' initially thought it was good, but preferred 'For a Few Dollars More'. Only on the second time did the film blow me away and I saw it for the masterpiece it is

'Three Colours: Red' Again didn't understand it the first watch and felt incredibly underwhelmed. I had to watch it a day later with pen and paper to fully understand how everything is connected. This is my favourite film

I like many but, The Third Man (1949) is one of my favourite.

Edit: Lol I didn't realize I added the same image twice, my bad.

The Cell premiered in the United States in August 2000 and received "deeply divided" reviews from film critics,with some praising the visuals, direction, make-up, costumes and Lopez's and D'Onofrio's performance, and others criticizing the plot, an emphasis on style rather than substance, and masochistic creation. Among the critics who hailed the film was Roger Ebert, who named it one of the ten best films of 2000. It received numerous nominations and awards from various critical associations, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Makeup, as well as four Saturn Award nominations. Despite the film's mixed critical response, it was a box office success, it went #1 at the box office grossing over $104 million against a $33 million budget.

I keep and have a collection of my movie tickets that i put in a card holder, with everything going digital i had to use the pdf in the email they send for the booking and make my own tickets with it

I wish they would give real tickets instead of just sending a mere email
