I’ve barely used it since they shut down their message boards. Sure, it was a troll infested wasteland, but occasionally there were informative posts.

Since then, they’ve disabled the user’s ability to selectively search through their own ratings (You can use advanced title search to do that, but it’s a tedious pain in the ass.) and you can no longer sort user reviews by preference; they’re all automatically and permanently sorted by “helpfulness” now.

Join Letterboxd.

The community there is awful.

Meh. I’m mostly just trying to get more than the one follower I have. I get lonely.

POST REDACTED

Wtf. Who are you?

Just a guy who follows you on Letterboxd. Sorry to freak you out.

For what it’s worth, I figured out who you were and followed you as well. I don’t want the name here, though.

Ranking the Star Wars films
Time

I just rewatched TFA for the first time since I saw it in theaters, the gentle restructure fan edit, and it’s not quite as good as I remember, but still immensely enjoyable and quite possibly still better than ROTJ for me.

Things I noticed this go-around:

  1. The humour was not my style and took me out a lot.
  2. The title theme sounded more like a parody than the theme proper.
  3. Rey being able to pilot the Falcon better than Han, and the unexplained change in the treatment of droids was odd and a little annoying.
  4. The Rathtar scene is atrocious and serves little to no purpose.

Not all of it was bad. I noticed John Williams’ score a lot more, and was able to appreciate it more. Everything with Kylo Ren was great. I enjoyed everything else about the same.

My ranking:

  1. Star Wars
  2. Empire
  3. TFA
  4. ROTJ
  5. R1
  6. Everything else.

Careful, saying stuff like that out in the open about a “new” membet might get you a ban from the Thought Police around here these days.

(Also, I’m not sure if it’s Jedi Master Skywalker, greenlanternslight, or both, but at least one of them is definitely JMOW.)

I’m not JMOW

Yeah I’m not Jedi master obi wan

How do you know who JMOW is?

With the thought that the Murdoch’s may gain some control over Disney, and the thought that Disney has enough power to basically control copyright law, I don’t think it’s something that should be taken lightly. I refuse to believe any corporation has us in their best interest, entertainment or no. Anyway, I’ll drop it.
