letterboxd, the vexing and sometimes OK film logging website

Director is more embarrassing for me (I Was a Teenage Woody Allen Fan).

Likewise

I should really figure out some historical logging or figure out what I've forgotten to log since signing up for letterboxd. My stats are kind of bizarre.

I'm running through all the John Waters films I've never seen this year, so my stats are going to be very weird in December.

Most watched are Chuck Jones and Mel Blanc; if shorts are excluded, Scorsese and Michael Caine.

i'm an idiot, how do you see your most watched actor, director, etc?

If you have at least a Pro subscription, you can click on your All Time stats and look.

That themes & nanogenres thing is relatively new innit?

Yeah...it sucks.

Apparently I've watched a lot of movies about "Humanity and the World Around Us." Very informative.

Family drama = Ozu watches

Humanity and the world around us is probably Kor-eda

Ugh, just realized Woody Allen is somehow my most watched (non-animated shorts) director despite the fact that I maybe only saw the first two or so movies that he made in this century.

My most watched (non-animated shorts) actor is Tim Heidecker, lol. Closely followed by Samuel L. Jackson and Cary Grant.

Samuel L.Jackson will sneak in there yeah, especially if you didn't get off the mcu train early enough

taking a look mine and -

* Chishū Ryū ✅
* Tim Heidecker ✅
* Samuel L. Jackson ✅ (17 movies with no MCU!)

but laughing pretty hard at my #1 -

* Sylvester Stallone, 22 films!

even tho sly isn't usually in em, I generally watch a lot of horror and exploitation so my "nanogenres" are also pretty funny -

* Gruesome, Terrifying, Imaginative 62 films
* Eerie, Graphic, Screaming 52 films
* Blood, Shock, Gross 50 films
* Killer, Terror, Brutally 49 films
* Violence, Bizarre, Extreme 49 films
* Blood, Horrific, Unsettling 48 films
* Action, Gangster, Violence 48 films
* Death, Psychopath, Graphic 47 films
* Brutal, Shock, Extreme 47 films
* Victim, Bloody, Terrifying 47 films

My Highest Rated actors is weird.

I didn't attempt to log everything until recent years and Ethan Hawke is inexplicably one of my most-watched actors

These are still the only user stats I'm ever interested in:

lmao those are great, especially the higher than average one

also the goonies truly sucks, thanking u

I've only rated three movies, I like that letterboxd gives me the freedom not to rate things

A lot of ratings I have in there came from importing them from IMDB, where many grades date back to, like, the year 2000, and I'm pretty sure that version of me just went to the list of the top 250 rated movies and gave roughly half of them 1-outta-10 ratings

oh, these pics are too big. I don't know how to post them any smaller. Sorry.

Femme Fatale is not a five star movie

It's more of a five star than Poltergeist

I like to think we all agree on Braveheart being a half star

3 and a half stars imo. The half star is for Mel Gibson's accent.

I upgraded to Patron

lol, small image size led me to wonder what A Simple Plan did to piss you off.

(I was impressed with myself for catching that visual parallel but of course there's already a Letterboxd list for that: https://letterboxd.com/cinemommie/list/hello-id-like-to-report-a-poster-theft/)

Xpost
I'm actually not keen on A Simple Plan but it's been a long time

4 stars for That's My Boy is fun

And Poltergeist and Femme Fatale are, in fact, both 5-star movies, so glad I could clear that up here

Brain De Palma's horniness is truly powerful.

Brain lol

ha, love that cover connection

is that rated higher/lower than average only at the Patron level? I'm on the cheaper sub and don't see that part

Yes, that's Patron-only. It would be a neat feature to have, but I'll live.

I think it will be coming to Pro in the near future. Patron gets early access to beta features.

You can also get a pretty clear idea of divergences by looking up only the movies you’ve ranked high or low and then organizing according to average user rating

I've never given star ratings to anything, so this is kinda lost on me. (my watching queue is so long that if something isn't working for me, I'm out - can't hatewatch anymore)

You don't have to rate anything, you can just log and/or review and/or like
