There's a feed but that's only for your activity + the activity of ppl you follow.
The bad stuff happens when you go to the page of a certain movie and read the top reviews - especially if it's a new release or well known film.

ah ok that’s what I thought! anyway, skill issue for sure
― brony james (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 20:46 (one month ago) link
sure, probably a skill issue. That said, there are a fair amount thoughtful people I follow who stopped using it 2-3 years ago. And then there are others I followed who used to write more thoughtful stuff, but have since moved on to focus on one-liners and half-ironic hot takes. Don't know what else to say, I used to find the site fun to click around in, and now I don't, so I don't spend as much time there.

it's fun to write one-liners and I don't like thinking

I don't pay a lot of attention to reviews by strangers, and I don't see much of the "social" functionality outside of my activity feed, but stepping up from a free account to a pro one has made me super conscious of my viewing stats. Like, "ooh, I haven't watched any movies from Croatia this year...I'd better find one!" In that sense, it's very valuable. Since I signed up during lockdown, watching as many movies per week as I can has been a pretty rich experience.
It's not like I never enjoyed films before, but I'm watching 10x as many now as I ever did at any other stage of my life.

Yeah letterboxd is definitely responsible for me watching movies I’d never have seen otherwise. As I said to a friend, watching movies in large quantity isn’t a virtue in itself really but watching more gives you more chances to be surprised

What is everyone's highest rated decades via the stats?

80's, 90's and 20's, because these are decades I haven't watched that much from. The decades I actually care about I watch enough movies from to have a lot more 3 star ratings.
― Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 18 April 2024 09:48 (one month ago) link
Yeah, it's confounding to me that the '40s is my highest-rated decade because, aside from every decade of the 21st Century, it's also my least-watched decade by far. '70s and '30s in the second and third spots feels right, though.
― Great-Tasting Burger Perceptions (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 April 2024 09:58 (one month ago) link
2000s is the most surprising for me, since I never think of myself really caring about much from those years (and I still don't, really, but I guess I rate the good stuff higher than I realized).

My Stats page says my highest-rated decade is the 2020s, but I've only been rating for a year, so there are only three decades for which I've seen more than a dozen movies. My average rating for the 1960s is higher, but the sample size is 5.Who's your most-watched actor? Mine is Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Most watched director Jean-Luc Godard
Director is more embarrassing for me (I Was a Teenage Woody Allen Fan).
― jaymc, Thursday, 18 April 2024 13:25 (one month ago) link
Who's your most-watched actor?
Proudly, it's M. Emmet Walsh just ahead of Bogart.
Director is Hitchcock by some distance over Huston.

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.

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

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

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

* Sylvester Stallone, 22 films!

― G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Friday, 19 April 2024 17:24 (one month ago) link
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
