Top Letterboxd Reviews are USELESS 

Letterboxd needs a ”boo” button next to the like button on reviews

"Stop being so glib, we already did that in the 90s" -- Guy who's repeatedly claimed he's 90smaxxing

The best part is, you know these people are workshopping their "hilarious" reviews during the whole runtime.

95% of my reviews are my genuine feelings, and the one that's a top review? My one line shitpost on a mid anime movie nobody has seen. And I'm mad about it every time I get a like on it

Glad someone pointed this out, I don’t have a problem with short comments as reviews but when ALL of the top comments are sarcastic jokes, jokes about the actor and not the movie itself, observational jokes, it gets old very fast

read any letterboxd reviews where the main character is flawed and you get the dumbest reviews ever

Yeah, I like Letterboxd as a service, but the top reviews are written by the most miserable people ever, I swear

we're librarian guys, of course we watch the new video 14 seconds after its posted

Letterboxd neds the RYM comment box i cant handle these short joke reviews anymore

Maybe I should review "The social Network" and make the comment, "this is just like Letterbox Reviews" and get 20 thousand likes instead of writing a good review but I have integrity, I only do that on youtube videos.

The children yearn for React Court.

this sounds like how steam reviews devolved

Chib yelling for him to stop in the chat got me chucklin

Three stars for Uncut Gems is bad but three stars for The Lighthouse is fucking crazy

God this has so many good takes on media

Letterbox isn’t a place for people who actually enjoy movies, it’s a place for people to feel dominion over movies. Making lists about “movies where specific thing happens starring this actor” has nothing to do with appreciating movies, it’s just showing you know what happens in a lot of them. I always thought Greg Turkington from on cinema was a ridiculous caricature but that’s literally how all letterboxed fans act. People can tell you who composed every soundtrack ever made but they can’t tell you how any of it made them feel.

i'm glad people are pushing back on these kinds of glib reviews, because you see them and this behavior so often in so many different spaces and it's really exhausting. review and comment sections, even for humorless media with a lot of room for continued discussion, keep just using that media as the theme for their comedy club where these internet guys are going to fight to be the funniest person in the room. it creates an atmosphere that affects the people who still do want to share their earnest thoughts and makes them second guess themselves. that's how we get stuff like what we see at 2:40-a review that fails to say anything meaningful because they decided to be funny instead, and fails to be funny because they didn't actually have a joke to tell. i'd rather steam reviews be as sincere and passionate as that one for karryn's prison he read on stream than how detached and lifeless they usually are. stop writing reviews for stuff you have nothing to say about, stop making jokes just for the sake of making them, let yourself say what you think and let that reflect whatever parts of you that it may, and be real.

Letterboxd just highlights how everyone on the Internet wants to be a comedian first and a person second.

When tumblr died, the funny part of the site moved to twitter (temporarily) and the unfunny part of the site moved to letterboxd (permanently).

those letterboxd reviews are about 1:1 to librarian comment section so what does that tell us

Letterboxd died the moment the "lol I'm so quirky" reviews went viral

People that watch a movie as a second monitor activity are a wild breed to me. Like bro, youtube videos exist, movies should be the prime first monitor content.

THE COLOR OF MONEY IS WAY BETTER THAN 2 AND A HALF STARS IM GOING CRAZY

I love that there's only one highlight because the rest of the stream was pure Chained Together

Northernlion is mad for 13 minutes, 4 stars

5:24 wtf he’s dripped tf out

I have never put a single ounce of effort into any of my Letterboxd movies. I review them simply to catalog the movies I watch and so they actually show up in my Diary tab.

The chatter that he roasted the fuck out of for his review of Three Billboards...that review looks like something you'd write drunk LMAO

i feel like im reading "funny" reddit comments when reading the top letterboxd reviews

I have to Google the video of the lady huffing duster myself? Librarian…

Bro really be out here bragging about not skipping songs on his own playlist icant

just yesterday i was thinking it had been a long time since i saw the slackers outro, thank you librarian my patron saint

WOW northern Ryan looked so good compared to Chiblee in that hypothetical that he, northern Ryan, created.

Yeah but "This happened to my buddy Eric" is one of the best reviews ever writen

When you’re coping because your reviews can’t win in the marketplace of ideas on Letterboxd

I missed it live but Chib’s titanic review ain’t wrong

Letterboxd is so trash. Literally no earnest reviews just people trying their hardest to circlejerk over unfunny irreverent jokes

Top Letterboxd reviews are often gag-worthy. The worst is when the top review is soemthing like shitting all over Citizen Kane, and it has 3000 likes. 2/5. Drives me crazy.

Librarian we know you have an extensive MAL, you didn't need to tell us

6:18 listen, I need that little bit of dopamine every time I log a movie, boardgame, videogame, song, wine, whisky or beer. let me enjoy my million apps for cataloging

How the hell do you tell I'm Walking on Sunshine apart from Ballroom Blitz, they have the same damn drumline

What do you mean there is no Monsters Inc. reference in Scott Pilgrim? 😢

Just adding here that a Letterboxd court would be so good once in a while. The takes from either side would be so beautiful to watch

I deleted all my media logging stuff at one point. I realized it was something I was only doing for my ego.

Do I think top reviews are annoying? Yes. Do I also think it’s not that deep? Yes. Maybe there should be a way to filter out reviews that are less than a certain word count or a dislike button. But that’s what happens when you let people do what they want, they usually do dumb shit. It is not a big deal.

hooooly howd no one say anything about the ice on that wrist?????

It’s almost like you shouldn’t trust laymen posing as experts on the internet.

Not me after logging 362 movies this year…

I can't believe NL remembers the walking on sunshine duster lady

Can someone explain the andrew dice clay thing?

70% of letterbox is people in the reviews trying to gaslight you into thinking you're gay

hi chat what kind of hummus do u prefer

I see NL talking about Letterboxd, I click instantly

Chat is out of sync. We get +2s before NL makes the joke lol

i am upset about color of money 2.5 stars also still mad about banshees

It's too early in the morning for me to say anything creative in the comments

Normies getting the MAL experience.

Three and a half stars to WAITRESS and two and a half to COLOR OF MONEY??

LIbrarian couldn't find the piss graph :(

Letterboxd React Court would go CRAAZZZZYY

I dont know bro , i like letterbxx and love how everyone gets to express their opinion. Sayinf who are you to someone writing down their opinion is so cringe lol

Love the idea of starting a message to your wife with Hello, 💀

Not me losing my mind that neither NL or chat mention American Psycho for Walking on Sunshine…

Someone once said the 4 and 2 star reviews are the truth and not just bandwagoning

Of the non-serious top reviews, like 95% of them is always the user thirsting over one of the characters in the movie.

This but for music reviews on AOTY.

We are librarians, Of course we stay pegged once a day!

New outro song just dropped boys

NL has defended uncut gems like 20 times on stream by now

this is gonna be a weird comment but i remember looking at the top review for elden ring on backloggd (letterboxd for games) and it was some schizo talking about how the game has themes of r*pe all over the story

It’s so over for Chiblee. I don’t understand how anyone can just intend to watch a movie but just decide to put it on the second monitor while they distract themselves with something else.

i prefer these shitposty reviews than the pointless nerdy essays that every critic-wannabe leaves on sites like rateyourmusic for example

Even though some people on IMDB are really annoying and thoughtless with their reviews, letterboxd wins the stupid award by far when it comes to film reviews. It's like walking into an instagram comment section where people are trying to find the dumbest joke to make to get likes.

Joel

when you take shit way too seriously:

glorp

say what u want about chib's letterboxd account, still no less worse than uwe boll's letterboxd where he says other movies are shit and shills his own movies the most lol

"Ha Ha"

whats wrong with giving baby driver a 4

I think there’s a really high % of girls on Letterboxd

I think it says a lot about a person when they choose to interact with earnest art in a glib, ironic way. Gives Doug Walker “parodying” The Wall vibes.

can he not be rude to chib.

the "reviews" looks like reddit comments. lol

Imdb supremacy

holy shit i just watched high fidelity this past weekend. the review hating on the main character but enjoying the movie is an entirely fair take

Only thing i bother with is anime and books, movies and games i never felt like registering, much less rating I have friends on all the websites and its amazing they bother to me

idk I think they’re pretty funny

What the fuck is letterboxd.

I sometimes like joke reviews and sometimes I cant stand them, I'm kind of a hypocrite. Like when I love a movie and everyone else also loves it I don't really care as much to see people regurgitate a bunch of points about why the movie I also liked is good and I like seeing peoples dumb jokes after the movie. There never top tier comedy but they might get a nose exhale laugh out of me. But when I like a movie and letterboxd doesn't or when I dislike a movie and they like it and all the top reviews are just those lame nose exhale worthy jokes I don't like that because I want to see peoples deeper thoughts and see why most people disagreed with me. I don't really care that much tho. This whole video kind of bothers me because it feels like an old man yelling at a bunch of teenagers because they don't engage with movies the way he wants them too. I assume your other content is better the way this comments section is sucking you off but this video was kind of bad.

2.5 stars on the color of money 👎

Librarian da 🐐 no🧢

Ill die on the hill that uncut gems was like 6.5/10

Chiblee’s reviews were based

Half of all people are below average intellect... and they all get to write user reviews too.

Three Billboards sucks, the way they portrayed cops was definitely very... European, McDonough needs Colin Farrell tbh

0 views? My goat fell off :((((

Chiblee is right about Uncut Gems, I don’t know why NL likes it so much

Uncut gems is actually a 1 star movie. First of adam sandler just cannot act well seriously (watch click if you need proof) second of all it is only liked because it has an ever increasing track in pitch that artificially induces anxiety. People leave the movie thinking "wow I really felt something there", its the musical equivilance of a jumpscare.

how do you watch a movie while playing overwatch, that game is already sensory overload
