I'm such a guy who reads

#talked to my coworker today abt reading and he was like Yeah i spend like 2 hours a day reading 700 page romance #and i was flabbergasted. i feel like a failure #anyway idr why i gave vol 2 only 4 stars. deserved 5 #reanimator deserved 1 star. #splatter movies deserved a 3.5

[hey-scully-itsme]

why does it feel like there's a massive gap between rating a film 3.5 stars and 4 stars on letterboxd.

#like i'll hand out 3.5 star ratings like party favors but i have to sit and think real hard before i give a movie 4 stars or above #this is probably just a personal idiosyncrasy but still i wonder #this post inspired by seeing that someone i follow on letterboxd gave 4 stars to a movie i rated 3.5 #honestly the worst thing about letterboxd is that it preserves ratings. #past me did not know what he was talking about and should not have given out those ratings but now it would take too long to go adjust them #now that i have seen more 4 hour polish historical epics and giallo films and thus understand what real movies are

what movie are you guys talking about. its not bones and all

#mid cannibal movie #it wasnt bad. conceptually it was good #but like cannibal love story where they dont even eat each other #maybe im just desensitized #i dont think the ending counts. it was a last resort. not because they wanted it #3.5 stars #needs more blood and codependency

[funstyle]

just watched part of juno and like. jason batemans character is lowkey triggering im not even gonna lie he just makes my skin crawl

#3.5 stars hard to name a movie more perpetually stuck in 2007. like worst type of white person that year #elliot page being pre transition in this movie makes that even more potent for me like that whole dynamic between them..... stummy hurts.

the first half of incident in a ghostland: wow this is somewhat compelling what’s going on what an interesting look at trauma and trauma responses and how trauma can break a family

the next half of incident in a ghostland: what the fuck am i watching

#i didn’t finish it :/ #really really gross how much time is spent showing every agonizing minute of literal child molestation #grosser still that these child predators are a fat intellectually disabled man #and a person implied to be a trans woman (character is called woman but is played by cis male actor?) #disgusting actually. first half of the movie was like maybe 3.5 stars or something #second half was like negative 10. out of 5 #also even in the first half there was the protagonist’s reverence of lovecraft which like #i was willing to overlook bc like she was a kid… but like…. still weird lmaoo

We're All Going to The World's Fair - An Exercise in Isolation in the Digital Age

Are you alone right now? How alone do you feel reading this post? Think about where you are and how isolated you may feel from the people around you. Are you at home? In the office? On a crowded bus or subway? Regardless, you are most likely alone. Most people are alone most of the time. This film is about isolation, the internet, and how far people will go to feel less alone.

While not outstandingly complex, Jane Schoenbrun's debut feature film offers an uncomfortable yet rewarding journey through the mind of Casey, a young teenage girl who joins an online horror role-playing community of people who have taken "The World's Fair Challenge". The role-playing game consists of completing a short ritual and then vlogging the events that follow. After completing the ritual, we see Casey's descent into madness as she documents her "changes". Casey is eventually contacted by a man named JLB, a "world's fair" veteran, who introduces her to the deeper lore behind the game and encourages her to keep making more of her videos.

Casey and JLB's relationship forms the emotional core of the film. Their roleplay is initially reminiscent of the typical "final girl" and "creepy mentor", a familiar trope from any number of horror flicks. At first, their interactions feel tense and uncomfortable. JLB feels almost predatory as he garners more of a liking towards Casey. But as the film continues, genuine warmth begins to emerge JLB shows how he genuinely cares for Casey. Casey's troubled nature is something that JLB recognizes and so he's reaching out in any way that he can. Whether Casey accepts that help and whether JLB can provide that help is something you can see for yourself.

Now, while I have been singing the praises of this film, it is not without its faults. The film is admittedly slow in certain scenes even with its relatively short length (1hr 26mins). Long scenes of nothing of note happen infrequently but enough to make you really feel the length. JLB's performance can come off as pathetic and creepy. Only until the very end will you ever feel any sort of sympathy or kinship to him at all. Certain lines of dialogue are difficult to understand without subtitles. This seems to be a trade-off for realism because of the handheld camera-work in some scenes.

Overall, "We're All Going to the World's Fair" is an excellent exercise in how to accurately portray the rampant isolation in online communities. While not exceptionally groundbreaking or especially interesting, if you're willing to engage the material it feels rewarding enough to be worth a watch.

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair : ★★★½

Witchery (1988) aka La Casa 4 – Witchcraft in Italy) has an interesting cast, including David Hasselhoff and Linda Blair. That’s not where the strangeness ends for this film. It’s set at a hotel on a remote island where Gary and his girlfriend Leslie are researching the lore around it. It has moments where I thought it was going to be like The Shining (1980); the next thing I know, it’s like The…

"The only thing worse than being incompetent, or being unkind, or being evil, is being indecisive."

I liked the part with the hug.

An intriguing story, with some truly fascinating characters. Really great performances by Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy. Very well paced, with a steady escalation of tension matched by the increasingly complex score.

Starting out with the occasional snippet of scuttling, percussive sounds, and gradually building with the inclusion of strings, distorted electronic melodies, and emotive vocalisations, the score was excellently paired with the eccentric characters and plot.

A fascinating and off-beat thriller. A great movie.

#i think about that bucket knocking out stoner brett all the time it's literally so funny #i've already seen it this was a rewatch. and i gave it 5 stars on letterboxd and i didn't give it less this time or anything #and i still thought it was really good but i watched this at the very start of my letterboxd era like during lockdown in april 2020 and #(maybe not for this movie in particular just a general observation) i know i give 5 stars or even 4.5 stars way less now than i did then an #d #it's not like i'm doing it on purpose to prove that i'm a serious letterboxder who watches movies so critically she doesn't even actually #like any of them. it wouldn't be very successful because i give a lot of 4s and 3.5s. but like. idk sometimes i'm like damn i would've love #-d #this more a while ago. and it's not like there aren't still movies i watch for the first time now that i love and give 4.5/5 stars to. or #don't but still love. but idk. #i gave goodfellas a 4 on my first watch can you believe that then i upped it half a star because i couldn't stop thinking about it and then #i rewatched it two weeks later and gave it five stars. #fun fact #that doesn't really have anything to do with what i just said because it was like two months after i watched carrie so same era for my movi #e #watching habits. but yeah #and like i say: brf slt
