    rotten tomatoes is owned by Fandango, IMDB by Amazon, so this makes sense (in the worst way).

    Refused to use it. Advised other people to avoid it.

    The opposite of the fell-for-it-again award is a Cassandra. She’s like an Oscar, but for being right about bad things.

      I wonder if a fediverse-friendly version exists. It would need to be slick to get the critical mass that makes those kinds of sites useful (like review sites, etc).

        There is NeoDB which is great software, but its official instance is mostly Chinese. I don’t know if there are any ones that are mainly English, but I’d be down to join one.

    Whew, I’m feeling pretty good for not using Letterboxd as I was considering moving to it a while back. The platform started off good but it kind of devolved into every review trying to be a funny one liner instead of actually reviewing the movie.

    I also found it very weird that Letterboxd doesn’t have any TV shows, it’s only movies.

      They promised show support years ago but for some reason people were really insistent that LB should remain movie only.

        It’s been announced as coming “later this year” for the last three years.

    I used Letterboxd for a single summer, and have since moved entirely to Trakt.tv. So far like it way more.
