That's a neat chart. How do you generate it? I can't seem to find an easy way.

One of the features you get if you get a pro account

It wasn't that good though ...

IMDB also has that feature and you don't need to pay for it 

 

 

They show some other pretty cool statistics as well.

The Letterboxd one looks prettier though

 

It is a bit cheaper here though. I think it's 19 USD everywhere else, but since it's a NZ company it only costs 19 NZD if you live in New Zealand. Plus I got all these neat graphs now, so I'm happy with it.

Yeah I know, I don't document everything on IMDB anymore though cuase Letterboxd is way better. how do you copy the images from IMDB and make them show up on here like that though?

Yeah, I like Letterboxd way better as well. Still using IMDB because I have this fear that Letterboxd might go down overnight

 

About your question, it's an app. It lets me capture a selected area from my computer screen (app shows up after clicking the PrintScr key in the keyboard) and does all the uploading job for me. It's awfully convenient and easy to use.

It's called Postimage. I believe it works on any computer, mine is pretty old and it works just fine. Their website even has a mini-tutorial on how to use it, I believe.

This is a rad oral history of PREDATOR in honor of its 25th anniversary. A lot of crazy shit about the production that I didn't know about -- including the Rashomon-esque saga of Van Damme getting fired (everyone has a different story about how it happened).

Wow.. So Van Damme was initially their choice over Schwartzenegger???? The only Van Damme movie I enjoyed was BLOODSPORT..

 

no JCVD was the original Predator alien, not the Dutch role

1987 for me was one of the best years for movies in my lifetime. Some of the movies were very simple plot-wise and predictable but had magic that is generally missing from a lot of major releases today.

 

Below is my list for 1987:

 

1. Fatal Attraction  
2. Lethal Weapon    
3. Robocop    
4. Hollywood Shuffle    

5. Raw
6. Overboard    
7. Dirty Dancing    
8. Predator    
9. Street Smart    
10. Summer School    
11. Full Metal Jacket    
12. Running Man    
13. Raising Arizona    
14. Less Than Zero    
15. Stepfather    
16. LaBamba    
17. Space Balls    
18. Witches of Eastwick    
19. Lost Boys    
20. Empire of the Sun    
21. Adventures of Babysitting    
22. Monster Squad    
23. Some Kind of Wonderful    
24. Last Emperor    
25. Good Morning, Vietnam    
  

Lowest-rated movies of 1987 for me:

1. Revenge of the Nerds II   
2. Teen Wolf Too     
3. Jaws: Revenge    
4. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace     
5. Who's That Girl
