letterboxd is a gateway drug, once you make an account, you’re gonna be purchasing and alphabetizing your criterion collection, getting a mubi subscription, reminiscing about closed video rental stores even though your parents were the ones with memberships, flexing your knowledge of film on teenaged part-time movie theater workers who are three paul thomas anderson facts away from calling security, booing at local film festivals for not projecting movies exclusively in 70mm even though you’re nearsighted and can’t see the screen very well because your contacts prescription is from 2005, and starting a podcast with your old college roommate named kyle where you only talk about films starring violent antiheroes and find a way to talk about the shining for 20 minutes in each episode. letterboxd is just not worth it mate
