Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X.

Half of this thing works, but then Georgy boy just can't help himself.
A front-runner or perhaps the only contender for the "best character demise because they can't drive a manual transmission rocket car" award

A ★★½ review of THX 1138 (1971)
A visually striking film let down by an un-even second half. The movie works best when focused on the re-emerging humanity of its core characters. The abstract art direction works well for this; a col...

4.5 is a stretch but a nice little flick, if not a bit over-narrated and over-scored.

Almost kinda smart and then Tony Scott just can't help himself and shoe-horns a dozen or so explosions into the last six minutes. Charming as hell!

A ★★★★½ review of A History of Violence (2005)
A History of Violence is a film that feels, at first, too brief. "That's it?" was my initial reaction on first watch, only to have it swirl in my brain for days, maybe weeks. That was about 13 years a...

Rough but a sneak peak... Just launched the v. early version of something I've been working on with a friend called FlicRec📼
Basically it's a way to recommend movies to friends and set a deadline so that they'll actually watch the damn thing!
Right now, it's pretty simple...

Articulate, propulsive, tender, and sublime. The world is cold but there is warmth to be found — a cup of coffee, a smile in the sun, a coded gesture, a held hand. Heat captures the feeling of time ru...

Genuine question:
What percentage of movies/shows/albums/etc recommended to you do you ACTUALLY follow through with?
For me, probably 5-10%

Started a "movie share" club with some other @letterboxd.social folks!
I recommend a movie based on your Top 4, you recommend one back to me based on mine. We both have a week to watch and review UNDER PENALTY OF SHAME!
Here's me, recommend away and I'll do the same: boxd.it/6HPm9

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Disagreement is a wildly overlooked decision making tool
We built Auto-Rank to save time when adding to-dos
But I've been using it to force reflection + disagreement on tasks based on auto-rankings. Helpful!
Big value add for finding alignment on/across teams?

This has aged magnificently.
In a 2ish year span, my 11-13 year old self saw this, Mulholland Drive, and (obviously) The Matrix.
For whatever reason each of them hit HARD, and I strongly believe rewired my brain.
Also where'd Spike Jonze get to anyway?
