Problem with Letterboxd is it only does movie entries, no TV shows

actually, i've been seeing people logging twins peaks and black mirror episodes lately, which pisses me off a great deal.

The other day my mom said she wants to see I Tonya, which is kind of strange because she never goes to the movies.  But she really likes Mom and especially Allison Janey

If Timothee wins, it would be kinda epic if Emma Stone opened the envelope and said "and the winner is...Emma Stone."

Imagine a slightly muscular seventeen year old guy in a white shirt and black and white plaided pajama pants holding his iPad, wearing headphones, and spinning between his bed and TV while trying not to hit either.

I mean I pace while I listen to music...

 

but I don't usually post that I'm doing it on the internet

I think they said Twin Peaks counts cause it screened in full at MOMA and Black Mirror counts because the Emmy’s consider them TV movies

[The Panda]

Lol at anyone who thinks an 18 Hour mini-series is a movie.

 

I might as well have said Game of Thrones was the best movie of 2016.

I was just looking at letterboxd and I know IMDB does it too.  But Lost City of Z is listed as a 2016 release.  Even though it's wide release was 2017.   I'm sure it premiered at some festival.  But still when looking at 2017 list for it, it is rather annoying.

Your mother, did she do meth?

Letterboxd needs to stick to what it was intended to be. Don't want TV, music, book, video game, etc reviews and ratings. It's a non-complicated, user friendly movie archival service and I hope it stays that way.

They consider Split a 2016 movie too. It is annoying. Wish theyd stop going by festival dates and use the actual release date.

Yeah it's some sort of hyper-precision nerd thing that ends up complicating and confusing every real-world situation.

A Cure for Wellness is listed as being a 2016 film because they premiered it at a festival called...Butt-Numb-a-Thon

Well, even going by US wide release date is kinda arbitrary. Sometimes foreign films don't show up here until long after they've premiered in their home countries. There's no easy answer to it unless someone can develop an algorithm to determine the exact date of a movie's widest worldwide release or something like that.
