Lower than average is fun too

 

I’m a boring guy that doesn’t rate anything. My brain would get too hung up on the “right” rating and make using the app less fun for me. If I love it I’ll throw a heart on it

 

Ah man, do you need Patron for that and not Pro? I tried to upgrade my membership and shocker, it's way harder than you'd think.

 

I just heart it if I like it, and don’t if I don’t. Star ratings stress me out.

 

I don’t rate things because it’d drive me crazy being internally consistent, though I’m very aware that literally nobody other than me would pay attention.

 

I love rating shit but I don't really put that much thought into it, just whatever feels right in the moment. I give the hearts to anything that gets 4.5 or 5 stars

 

HEART if I enjoyed watching it (good or bad), five if it's perfect for me, 4.5 if it's great, 4 if it could be, 3.5 if it's good, 3 if it's more good than not, and varying degrees of "bad" below that for me

I wind up giving a lot of hearts and 4s because I just like watching movies so much.

 

Yeah 4 is my most common rating.

 

I only rate things once; sometimes I’ll go amend a rating upon rewatch.

My most common rating is probably 3.5. I reserve 5 stars for movies that rewire my DNA.

 

You and I have the same metric lmao

 

Love it

 

plot twist- it’s not the director’s or final cut.

 

late here:





i probably need to rewatch a few of those low ones

 

Yeah. Starting with Spinal Tap. Watch that like 5 more times so you begin to realize how wrong only 2.5 stars is. K thanks.

 

tbh that one boggles myself. don’t know what i was thinking

 

my brother in christ you gave The Emoji Movie a higher score than Spider-Man 2, one of the only superhero films that actually justifies its existence

 

The Last Airbender too

 

are you the drummer of spinal tap

 

quick question: how do y'all approach rating/reviewing stuff you've previously seen but aren't simply watching for the first time or rewatching? do you forego adding a date or do you try to estimate when you first watched it?

 

Anything like that I wouldn't log any specific date, just rate based on memory.

 

Anything I saw before using Letterboxd I just marked as watched, not logged or rated. Anything I’ve watched while having/using Letterboxd gets logged and rated; if it’s something I’ve seen before, it gets marked as a rewatch.

 

This is my approach too

 

part of me thinks this might be the way to go, but i'm also tempted to write reviews for my four favorites just because i'd love to talk about them but don't know the next chance i'm gonna get to watch them. i might leave those ones undated.
