I'm pivoting to mostly glib comments because they get twice as many likes (ie two likes instead of one like)

Been meaning to sort this but have to sort out what films I have watched before bothering.

If you've got some time on your hands, it's occasionally fun to flick through one of the mega-lists, and just click the "seen" button for everything you've seen. It might give you the odd idea, too.

One of mine got three likes the other day! I nearly fainted!

Nah I've given myself a little programming project using AWS' Comprehend text analysis service that can extract film titles out 'paragraphs of text', it can also perform 'sentiment analysis' to work out whether these paragraphs are complimentary or not. Just need to find the time.

or you could go back in time and obsessively record every film you watched or wanted to watch in a spreadsheet which is what i did except for the going back in time bit because i'd already done the spreadsheet bit

I respect that sort of thing, while being completely unable to do it. An ex of mine (lovely lady from Sheffield with a postcard from Stephen Fry on her wall) had a notebook with every book she'd read from age X in it, and I started one of my own, which lasted about 6 months.

A notebook somehow seems even more work than a spreadsheet!

What shits me is that there's now television shows and stand-up specials etc on the site, makes it harder to filter through. E.g. I might sometimes browse the site's films by average rating to see if there's anything good I might have missed out on and then have to wade through all sorts of things that aren't films.

Feel like I've seen Daniel Sloss's face a million times on Letterboxd doing this

This is why I think they should have a 'delete' or 'hide' function so that you can tag a title with 'never going to watch or review, fuck off' so that they disappear from the timeline altogether. Because I haven't scored, reviewed or assigned 'watch later' to Marvel Pixar Spider Wonder Woman Mr America films, they keep getting pushed at me. I would rather not give them a half star for the sake of it.

Yep, nothing really holding them back from including something like that. Other than it having a pretty bizarre number of random brief outages that suggest the whole codebase is a shitshow.

I'm now getting more annoyed with a handful of the "popular" accounts on there, and the block function only means you can't comment on their shit, not that you can't see the slab of self-mythologising bollocks they leave on every fucking movie they watch.

The answer is to only watch and log extremely rubbish movies, which no-one cares about. Think anyone wrote 5000 boring words about, say, 1990's "Syngenor"? Of course they didn't!

I'm enjoying it but I only use it to log films and keep a watchlist. The small rush of satisfaction when logging a film as watched is rather pathetic, I often can't wait to do it. Annoyed that I didnt sign up much earlier as I don't intend to retroactively add every film I've seen.
