Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only The Prisoner Star Trek: DS9 The Sopranos Mad Men Deadwood Planet Earth The Young/New Pope The Leftovers True Detective (Season 1) Counterpart Andor Westworld (Season 1, some of Season 2) Game of Thrones The Americans Undone

Oh, Frankenstein! I wasn't completely alienated because I know plenty of people share this take, but I struggle to see why *anyone* had a favorable view of that film.

Oppenheimer (come on, people. It's super fucking corny, what the fuck?!) Blonde (it's good! Long past due a critical reappraisal)

I'm still completely bemused by Psycho Killer (Gavin Polone, 2026). It's *almost* a very good satanic panic pastiche but just...doesn't have anything to say. And it sets up a sequel as if the antagonist is going to be an iconic slasher villain!

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I've only watched one new film this week - Wim Wenders' 'ultimate road movie'/sci-fi Until the End of the World. Instead, I've been digging into the HBO back catelogue - this week it was The Deuce, John From Cincinnati, and Primal.

It's #LetterboxdFriday so here's my #LastFourWatched Highlights were a Tom Noonan-directed chamber piece and a documentary about Russian independent journalists. Low point was a bizarre almost-parody of satanic-panic slashers.

I don't need to know what's happening the Following feed. That's none of my business.

It's #LetterboxdFriday - but I've been on vacation so I've only seen a couple of things: MNNA is entertaining enough but very forgettable. A lot of the quirk (e.g. the Gilmore Girls references) feel derivative and forced. A:F&A has high points but borrows too much from previous installments.

The early-film twist in The Drama is that Zendaya's character expects other passengers on planes to trade seats with her, even though she could have just booked her seat in advance.

It's #LetterboxdFriday but I haven't actually watched many new films this week. I really enjoyed the first few episode of DTF St Louis, so I've gone back to watch a few of Steven Conrad's previous shows - Patriot and Perpetual Grace, LTD - both pretty good!

They should make a "Letterboxd Notes." Keep the reviews separate from the shitposts.

Lester! Lester, it's Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Misérables.

Now this is the good stuff. I'm going to put this on everything.

It's #LetterboxdFriday - Here's my #LastFourWatched Basically, a lot of genre shenanigans. Pretty fun week.

Sometimes when I'm using my work laptop, the CPU fan comes on but only runs for a second or two so it sounds *exactly* like a bored sigh. I'm like me too, work laptop. Me too.

Thanks to everyone who reposted! Working on possible long-term leads, but looking to generate funds in next few weeks. Also available for brief gigs: organizing databases, cataloging inventory, data input & filing, Excel creation, personal asst, writing or research...anything computer oriented.

Hoppers makes really good use of the old Pixar trick of showing the sclera of animals' eyes to 'humanize' them.

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Not watched a lot, so still got Gone Girl and in Gone Girl For Dopes on my #LastFourWatched. I also watched In the Blink of an Eye, which has a good neanderthal story surrounded by worthless fluff, and Sirāt, an existential missing-person story with real bite.

I've tried, but I just cannot get "Die My Love", "Sorry, Baby", and "Honey Don't" straight in my head. Every time someone mentions one of them I have to look it up.

Went to see Sirāt in the cinema. Existential missing-person movies are my favorite microgenre. It was NOT what I was expecting. I'm TRAUMATIZED. Five stars.

It's #LetterboxdFriday Here's my #LastFourWatched Caught up with my final two best pic noms now they're out on VOD. Plus a pretty interesting Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and a less interesting Abel Ferrara.

When you realize there's an embarrassing typo in all your marketing material.

It's #LetterboxdFriday Here's my #LastFourWatched An excellent Tom Perrotta adaptation by Alexander Payne. A couple of middling medaphysical dramas. My first (and likely last) slow-cinema slog by Lav Diaz.

I've got the day off work and no chores need doing, so it's time for some more 🚨🚨🚨SLOW CINEMA🚨🚨🚨 NW: From What Is Before (Lav Diaz, 2014) 📽️ #movies #filmsky #LivingLifeInTheSLOWLane

I've never read anything by Tom Perrotta, but the adaptations of his work - Election (1999), Little Children (2006), The Leftovers (2014-2017) - are all pretty great. I'm wondering if I should check out some of his novels.

The final race should have featured Lewis Hamilton twirling his moustache like Dick Dastardly. He was a producer, he could have insisted on it! Such a waste!

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Here's MY #LastFourWatched The highlight of the week was The Secret Agent, which absolutely deserves all the recognition it's getting. The low point of the week was a waste of talent by Bryan Fuller.

Just put on F1 The Movie and I have no idea why I thought this was a biopic.

Nice to see The Secret Agent get so many nominations. I watched it this week and it's really something special.

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Here's my #LastFourWatched? Interesting but flawed films by Terrence Malick and Tsui Hark. An outstanding look at life under fascism. A palme d'or winner by Kiarostami.

it is a violation of my dignity to share spaces with terfs, i am sick of this shit, no one can piss in peace with these people around i swear to god

To be fair, Abbas Kiarostami's Palme D'Or-winning 'Taste of Cherry' (1997) ends in a similar way.

It's #LetterboxdFriday 📽️! Here's my #LastFourWatched Kiarostami's outstanding Koker Trilogy, and Jia Zhangke's two-and-half decades in the making collage.

Yeah, I got it.

The fact that nothing is being done about this — and that people keep blithely hanging out on that site as though its owner and a key part of its official architecture aren’t actively enabling disgusting criminal abuse at scale — is making me lose my mind

It's the first #LetterboxdFriday of 2026! Here's my #LastFourWatched -Lynne Ramsay's latest aka "a woman under the influence of A Woman Under the Influence" -A lively kids sequel -Bi Gan's dreamy previous film (ahead of Resurrection...sometime this year) -A dumb popcorn flick

My favorite films of 2025: Sinners Sentimental Value Reflection in a Dead Diamond If I Had Legs I'd Kick You 2025 films I've not had a chance to see: The Testament of Ann Lee Resurrection The Secret Agent It Was Just An Accident

One thing to remember about these people is that they've likely never once taken an active interest in the day-to-day of parenting a child. The admin of dealing with daycare--including the opsec aspect--is very much foreign to them.

I took my kid to see Zootropolis 2 (titled Zootopia 2 in some markets). I wasn't a big fan of the first one and this did seem like a step down, but I have to admit I enjoyed the Kubrick reference near the end.

Godspeed You! Black Eyed Peas

Just started watching The Studio and it's pretty good but sometimes leans a bit too much on cringe comedy for my liking. Scorsese's cameo in the first ep is great, though. I lost it when he pitched his film.

Stellan Skarsgård in Sentimental Value is as good as everyone says. There's a moment later in the film when you *see* the years settle on him. He ages decades before your eyes. It's incredible.

Believe it or not, it's #LetterboxdFriday My last #LastFourWatched have been a real mixed bag. Two new releases - one among the year's best, one a bit of a dud. An outstanding experimental short by Nicolas Provost, and a seasonal stinker.

If you see this, post your favorite Star Wars character

Merry Christmas, one and all.
