Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 9, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yeah, get on there and fix it. Usually takes a few hours for the changes to take effect on Letterboxd. You can add films as well if you see anything missing on Letterboxd, I've done it myself a few times.

Paid Members waters44 Posted December 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2016 Ive just signed up to this website to keep track of films I watch going forward. Â I wont be reviewing anything as thats just not me, ill give a score out of five and have a list for each year where i rank the films, but thats it. Â Are there any tips and tricks worth knowing or is Letterboxd very much what you see is what you get? Â I will also follow any active users from the first post of this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 29, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2016 Not really. If you're just logging films then there's nothing to it. Just like any site, there are loads of berks and loads of decent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted December 29, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's done wonders for me in terms of discovering films I'd never have given a watch or in some cases, even heard of. My watchlist is pretty much determined by reviews/ratings from you, Gladders, as well as ozzfan. Smashing site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 29, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yeah me too, there have been loads of stuff I would have missed if I didn't hear of them on there. Been good for keeping me writing when I have been going mental as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted January 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 Is there a way of manipulating the data on the website? For example can you pull up a list of how many films you have watched by a certain director, films that include a certain actor etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 1, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 Sure, take this for example. Â http://letterboxd.com/director/shane-black/ Â Click on the eye icon and it will fade all the films you have seen by them. Plus there are a bunch of other options in the drop-down menu.

Keith Houchen Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Reset my password and back on there after forgetting all about it. Agree what was said regarding Devon and ozzfan, great reviewers. I'm mainly using it to keep a track of films Ive watched this year, I'll leave the reviews to you chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yeah, managed to get the "Emmanuelle" films fixed too. The right "Five", "Six" and "Seven" are now up thanks to messing about with the movie database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted January 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just a quick note to thank you for taking time to write the reviews Devon - very entertaining and they are spurring me on to watch films I would never normally think of watching  To strike while the iron is hot im going to pick up a film magazine to read on my commute - I had a quick look in the newsagents and the two main ones seem to be Empire and Total Film. Any thoughts as to the better one to pick up? Or any others worth getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted January 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 Empire is better than Total Film but it's still not great. It has the odd decent article but focuses way too much on superhero and franchise stuff. I still buy it, out of habit really, but I don't remember the last genuinely great issue. It also seems to slowly be drifting towards a film/TV mag hybrid now, they devote a lot of time to Walking Dead/GoT/all that shit which is a massive shame. The Empire Podcasts can be decent though, depending on the guests and hosts.  Total Film is pretty much the same type of magazine, just not as well written imo.  If you like more obscure, indie/arthouse films then Sight & Sound would be worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 3, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 waters44 - Thanks, man. It's been interesting being a part of Letterboxd and doing reviews on an almost daily basis, sometimes I wonder if I would watch as much as I do these days if I didn't have somewhere like that to write about them and talk to others about them. But it's kept me busy at key times of the last few years and so I'm quite attached to it. Â As for film magazines, much like Lorne says, Sight & Sound is your best bet if you want to read something more 'cinematic' whereas the other two mostly covers Hollywood stuff. I haven't bought Empire for a few years now because it was pretty much wall-to-wall cape shit after a point but I think you might be better off looking for something online. Little White Lies mixes the two together pretty well, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 Your local "the LIst" magazine is all you need for what's coming up in your local cineplex, but there is a lot dedicated in the mag to other stuff though.

SuperBacon Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Empire is far superior to Total Film, but to be honest, I gave up my subscription as pretty much all of the content is on the website. Sight and Sound is indeed great, it just depends if you're that deep into film, as I'd say that's one for your real cinemaphiles. Â I tell you what is a treat every now and then, Little White Lies. Beautiful stuff, smells lovely too. Â Anyone else miss Neon and Hotdog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
