Explain this meme to me please.

I'm just trying to live a decadent arthouse lifestyle, is that a sin?

No the movie itself is great.

>tfw when I was 13 I remember watching that 100 scariest movie moments on AMC
>tfw Don't Look Now midget scared the fuck out of me
>tfw Suspira scared me too
>tfw some other movie scared me as well but I don't remember the name it's one of those urban legends where the baby sitter kept getting creepy calls and the killer was upstairs the whole time, I wish I could remember the name

I plan to watch all of them...along with the 100 scariest movie moments. My original plan was to watch all 100 movies on the list but then I realized that I probably would just end up fucking off and skipping half of them.

It was on Bravo, not AMC and you're probably thinking of When A Stranger Calls.

sup everyone.

For the last couple of Halloweens I've been meaning to watch The Haunting and I keep forgetting and then putting it off til next year. This year it's happening.

As well as that I've got Häxan lined up as well.

What didn't you like about Zombie? Seen much other Fulci?

what's the entry conditions to become one of your boyfriends?

Thanks user, I'm about to download it now.

Split Second was pure 90's kino

I don't really know actually. I'm sure I can squeeze you in no matter who you are.

>What didn't you like about Zombie? Seen much other Fulci?

No no, my post in being interpreted wrong: I loved the film, but the artwork is absolute shit!

It was my first Fulci actually. The next one which I've been meaning to watch for ages is Don't Torture a Duckling. Other than that I'm not sure where to start.

Any recommendations?

OHHHH. Fair enough then.

Yeah Duckling is a cool one to check out. I also quite like A Cat in the Brain.

I was trying to watch a horror film for every day of the month. I'm behind by like two, not counting today.

>100 scariest movie moments
What the fuck? They play scenes from the films out of context, and people watch that? That's not only pleb, that's unimaginably retarded.

Why is Letterboxd so cuck'd?

Why do you spend so much time reading reviews of people you hate?

Why don't you just not follow them

Because if I do then my follower count will go down and I can't have that.

>white "people"

who are some actual /lbg/ users that are acceptable to follow?

>tripfags

Fuck off, Krager

None. Only plebs do that.

some people are more interested in drama and getting angey than actually watching films

Halloween bro right here

>neo-neo lbg users are good users to follow
neo-neo-neo lbg is truly cancer

>Not rating movies you watch
Is this a new meme?

I thought we were pals mike

Yes we should follow true og long users like Healey, Kirby, and Rostova. There's no possible way those three can be cancer or have shit taste. Amirite fellow old-lbg friend?

>hating on James "Our Guy" Healey
This is how I can tell you're literally new.

>BvS and Neon Demon higher than 1 star
>""""Our"""" guy
You know it's a sad day when neo-neo-lbg has better taste than "original" lbg

>getting worked up about ratings

Healey is literally a laughingstock, the 'Healy is good' maymay is relatively new.

But only old users who've hated Healey for the longest time would feel like changing their tune.
Newfags still need to go through their "Healey is a bad user" phase before they can mature into patricianhood.

There's only 81 days left in the year.

He's on a decent pace. Only has to double up for a few days.

I got lagged behind a bit because of my non-military service

You can non-military service this dick

how new are you?

why is cimino so good bros?

he isn't

I don't get it

Yeah 1-10 ratings don't make sense because what does a certain value actually mean?

If a movie is just competent is that 2.5 or like a 3? I don't fucking know. Does anyone know? Everyone has their own system.

I wish I could score using a letter grade.

...

>I wish I could score using a letter grade.

You can.

5 star = A
4 = B
3= C
2 = D
1= F

>what does a certain value actually mean
I imagine the greatest value given you could possibly give means you favor a film above most other.
>If a movie is just competent is that 2.5 or like a 3?
I guess. As I see it, 2.5 is "I didn't care for it either way" and 3 is "I generally liked it but with some reservations."

I wish I could score using a letter grade.
How is that any different? Letter grades are based off of numbers.

i've watched 124 films this year. am i going to make it to 200?

yeah I know, I was just fooling with you

much love

>complains about 1-10 rating system
>thinks the solution is to use a system based on letters instead

Is there anything more autistic than assigning an arbitrary number to art? No, no there isn't.

>this is the thought process of the average "would you rate a sunset?" dude

kek

because he understands that humans connect with each other through their desire to remedy a personal dissonance

Yes, what you're doing right now.

>watch 'what the peeper saw'
>find out that the peeper saw boobies

oh heck yea!!

The film is also known as 'Night Hair Child' ????? ?? ??

(Active) jackieray is neo-neo-/lbg/, with aeltbx+(active) bel being neo-/lbg/. pretty disrespectful imo to leave fabs off this list.

wow really wonderful user.

Is Human Centipede 3 worth watching if I really liked the second one?

I like the dichotomy between the first 2 films, and I don't want the 3rd one to ruin that.

>tfw iOS no longer uploads as image.x
Now how am I supposed to filter out numale faggots?

>find out that the peeper saw boobies
spoilers please

...

A 3/5 is a 60% which could be considered an F. That's my point, the value of a 3 is somewhat arbitrary, an F, or a C, is a much clearer indication of quality.

>Letter grades are based off of numbers
They can be. I don't know about you, but my English essays for example were generally graded based on their overall quality.

I didn't say that, though. I didn't say it was a "solution". I said it would be my preference. Pay attention next time, wise ass.

Not new. He was here in 2013.

Letterboxd really need to sort their shit out with the search feature.

It's fucked up that searching for 'Mario Bava' his page is half way down page 3 rather than the first result

t. Jackie's boyfriend

school grades are weighted you stupid dumbshit

Honestly though, over thinking number ratings is literally the most autistic thing. Just use the damn features the site gives you.

>I didn't say that, though.

You said it like using a letter system is any different or better than using numbers. But they are both equally as subjective, there's no real difference between them

>the value of a 3 is somewhat arbitrary, an F, or a C, is a much clearer indication of quality.

How so? To me they are equally as arbitrary as each other

lol I appreciate whoever holds me in such high esteem but m_obvs has a much more extensive knowledge of cinema than I do (once you get on his good side) and myrmician, although not as active as he used to be, writes more intelligent and insightful reviews than me. respect to my elders

also cuckold cory should be in neo LBG with us boys

also where is aeltbel

m_obvs was also a cockold who deleted his account

>school grades are weighted
I don't think you know what that means.

>You said it like using a letter system is any different or better than using numbers.
I didn't "say it like" anything. I said it would be my preference, period. You greentext'd in your own interpretation of a straightforward comment.

>But they are both equally as subjective,
This is true.

>there's no real difference between them
And this is wrong.

I'm grading your post a C-, apply yourself.

damn... really makes you think (a first for ratefags)

The list isn't anything to do with knowledge of cinema

I thought it was tiered

Yeah it's split into 3 tiers retard

this is why normies shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a computer

rude

damn... really makes you think (a first for sunsetfags)

...

itt: forgotten truths

for me, each number corresponds to a certain level of craft and i don't rate it until after a day or so. i also don't really think about the specific rating while watching

...

>I didn't "say it like" anything. I said it would be my preference, period.

You implied it, then stated it outright in your next post:

>"the value of a 3 is somewhat arbitrary, an F, or a C, is a much clearer indication of quality."

Seems my interpretation was in fact correct.

What arbitrary number would you number-obsessed autists give to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer?

8743.070322

what are some good non-horror genre horror movies? like movies with serial killers or witches/general evil like the white ribbon or pandora's box?

9.7/10
pretty good but it's no monalisa

also they need to make it easier to search lists, if you go to a pages of lists from a movie page you can sort it by popularity but not when doing a regular search, idgaf about seeing some random's list of their ten favorite film noirs (also, people do know that they can make lists private so no one has to see their half-done shit)

letterboxd.com/AnvilVapre/
Any lesser known Horror films, presumably from the 70s

let's scare jessica to death, jean rollin
or just look up giallos

we get it u vape

holy shit, i thought my brother and i were the only ones who saw that fucking countdown. i took it so seriously as a kid.

Should I watch any of these?

If so, which ones?

Synecdoche

letterboxd.com/Mastro666/

letterboxd.com/voexodus/

Just been trying watch a lot of Gaillo, horror franchises, slashers, the usual.

This

Shit flick

Giallo*

what's the ideal reply number to post profile?
like 70?

Where do you watch your movies? TV, projector, laptop, desktop?

What's your favorite Parajano/v/ flick?

smartphone

giallo has to be one of the most overrated genres
if you're gonna watch a giallo that isn't new york ripper, gialo y venizia is a good choice

get real

In my bedroom.

I pull an armchair close to the 60" tv in the family room. VHSRips look great on it.

maybe in niche communities, but a lot of the giallos I would consider famous to me have less than 200-500 lgb views and a normal person has only heard of maybe suspiria- fanboys can get annoying though

Magic lantern

I remember how disappointed I was with torso after reading everywhere what a great movie it was. it was so fucking boring. I'm glad sergio martino eventually moved on to do actually great films like hands of steel

Fulci was pretty decent. He mostly knew how to keep the movie retarded enough to be fun but with some decent shots to keep it from going full retard. Manhattan baby though... Now that was a piece of shit.
