I don’t have a strong preference.

What was the first movie that you remember watching?
Probably Air Bud or another dog-related movie like Underdog, Hotel for Dogs, or Cats Vs. Dogs. I really liked dogs as a kid lol. I remember watching Batman (1989) on tape as the first PG-13 movie I ever saw.

Any favorite directors?
David Lynch, Charlie Chaplin, probably a few more that I can’t think of at the moment.

What is your favorite and least favorite trope?
I can’t think of a favorite trope at the moment, maybe something with space and time travel? My least favorite trope is a lesbian character who is a menace or acts mentally unstable in general.

What's a movie mistake you can never unsee?
I remember watching a movie from the 50’s or 60’s and a suitcase fell on one of the actors by accident. I don’t even remember what it was called, but it was so funny to me that they kept it in. Film was expensive back then!

Why do you like movies?
It probably started with my grandma showing my brother and I movies as little kids. My life changed when I saw The Truman Show.

Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out?
I love Willem DaFoe! He’s such a good actor with such a wide range of characters. I also love David Byrne in all of his movies.

What's your favorite movie?
I can’t pick one favorite… my top four on Letterboxd are Stop Making Sense, The Truman Show, Howl’s Moving Castle, and But I’m a Cheerleader. These are the movies I rewatch over and over.

Alex or Alexandra
they/she !!
One of the earliest I can remember is Flushed Away which is still super nostalgic for me
David Lynch, John Waters, Coen brothers, Gaspar Noé, Gregg Araki and Wes Anderson are some of my favourites
I am a sucker for final girls in horror and I haven’t thought a ton about least favourite tropes
the paper in the dude’s pocket in the big lebowski being crumpled and then uncrumpled one scene later 
Why do you like movies? It’s such a diverse medium that can be extremely fun or emotional or philosophical, tons of films have had really profound effects on my worldview 
my letterboxd is Whatsername07 !!
favourite actor: Laura Dern goes underrated a lot of the time, she’s an absolute force to be reckoned with especially in Inland Empire with her facial expressions (honourable mention to Colin Farrell also)
either Funeral Parade of Roses or Mulholland Drive is my favourite film !!!

Hiya my names Artemis but most people call me Art/Artie! I use they/them pronouns and I love what stories we can tell through the beautiful medium of movies! I really dont remember what was the first movie I watched (cut me some slack I was 3!!), but going to the theaters with my parents from a young age really opened my mind to what movies can do. I dont have a Letterboxd or any dedicated social media account pertaining to movies (Id be REALLY annoying if I did), but even 1-3 months I do post a review on my Spacehey blog if its a movie I really like/have a strong connection to. If you check my profile you can see some of my fave movies and shows (obvs I have more but those are like my top choices). Anyway its very nice to meet yall!!

What pronouns should we use for you?
She/her

What was the first movie that you remember watching?
Finding Nemo, I would watch it for hours and hours and eventually work out the tape 

Any favorite directors?
David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, Ingmar Bergman, Richard Linklater, Andrei Tarkovsky, Luis Buñel, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Sofia Coppola, Satoshi Kon, Hayao Miyazaki, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Andrzej Żuławski, Jamie Babbit

What is your favorite and least favorite trope?
Favorite: I’m a sucker for melodramatic longing, especially in a city. Essentially every single WKW movie, lost in translation. This is tied with pessimistic late 90s crime thrillers. Cure, Se7en, Lost Highway, I love it. Memories of Murder is 2003 but is an honorary member of the category. 

Least favorite: Joss Whedon dialogue… the real thing is bad enough and the fact that every other writer of a major movie tries to replicate it has been disastrous for anything that has a remotely lighthearted tone. 

What's a movie mistake you can never unsee?
Bad lighting or lensing

Why do you like movies?
As an artform movies can convey story and meaning in a way no other can

My name is Sara. My pronouns are she/her. I don't remember the first movie I ever watched but it was probably a Disney princess movie XD My favorite director would probably have to be Tim Burton I just love anything spooky but I can't forget Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick. Favorite genre of movie is psychological thriller and my least fav would have to be rlly long romance movies that have 0 angst. I haven't really seen any "movie mistakes". I love movies because I get to step out of my own reality and enter a world in which somebody else created. I have so many favorite actors but the three that pop up in my head are Al Pacino, Angelina Jolie, and Leonardo DiCaprio. My favorite movie is probably Interview with a Vampire.

What's your favorite movie?
my favorite movie of all time is either may or (the original) candyman! may was one of the first movies i had seen that i felt accurately represented the lonely mentally ill shut-in experience i had in my teens and early twenties. candyman i just love because there are so many layers of meaning in the film and it's such a ~rich text~. the director somehow found the perfect balance of corny early 90s cashgrab horror and this like deeply erotic forbidden romance storyline.

Any favorite directors? david lynch, david fincher and sofia coppola

Why do you like movies? im an aspiring actress and writer, i love movies because they can tell such a compelling story to the point where they can make us as humans feel such emotions, we can feel the characters pain and happiness. theyre a form of art that just show the amount of creativity the human brain can hold and how we should share that creativity

Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out? i like a lot of actors but my number one is hayden christensen. i believe hes been so wronged by hollywood and the general audience, if only people looked at his filmography beyond star wars </3. his eyes stand out the most to me. i believe that within acting they eyes tell much more of the story than the dialouge does and what a fantastic job hayden does at selling the story with his eyes, especially in "awake" and "life as a house"

What's your favorite movie? the virgin suicides and dirty dancing

What should we call you? - Harper. :)

What pronouns should we use for you? - Anything really, but she/her is typically the default is she/her given I was female at birth.

What was the first movie that you remember watching? - Hunchback of Notre Dame!

Any favorite directors? - Kubrick and Lindsay Anderson

What is your favorite and least favorite trope? - No particular tropes, just any movie that feels like a regurgitation of a million movies before it.

What's a movie mistake you can never unsee? - hen all the female characters are fluttery and fragile. Pretty common in 60s - 70s movies, which is understandable given the time period, but it's hard not to be bothered by it.

Why do you like movies? - They inspire me to make things. :)

Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out? - I've got a few: John Hurt, Malcolm Mcdowell, Emilio Estevez, and Walton Goggins. I like them, for one, because they're cute, but also because they've got lots of range and are very talented. Typically, they're the best part of any "bad" movie they're in.

What's your favorite movie? - Too hard! Can't answer! D:

I honestly cant say for sure what my first movie was but what comes to mind is The Poltergeist (but tbh it was prob a disney movie like princess and the frog) 
Jordan Peele and David Lynch are 2 of my fav directors.
Omg i HATE the nerd to popular/pretty girl trope in movies but im also just not a fan of romance or drama movies like that. They always make me feel mad at the characters.
I honestly couldn tell you what my fav trope is but i like when horror movies have like an eldritch or lovecraftian kind of entity that is unpredictable (like the necronomicon from evil dead)
i really dont remember a mistake that i thought was hillarious.
I love movies because something about them has just always spoke to me, just taking an idea and making it a creative masterpiece has always been something i want to do.
This is the only place i talk about movies tbh but i might make something on other socials later
No fav actor, there would be too many to count

What should we call you?: Kendall or Ken for short :)
What pronouns should we use for you?: she/her but I'm fine with whatever
What was the first movie that you remember watching?: Probably a Disney or Pixar movie
Any favorite directors?: John Waters, Frank Henenlotter, Jane Schoenbrun, Yorgos Lanthimos. Directors are kind of my blind spot which is a bit embarrassing to say as a movie fan but I hope to explore more like Agnes Varda or Orson Welles
What is your favorite and least favorite trope?: I can't think of any favorites :p However I can't deal with a movie that focuses solely on homages from greater films, feels tacky personally.
Why do you like movies?: It's cliche but I just enjoy the magic that is witnessing a movie that brought so many people together to work on a singular idea. You get the chance to experience worlds or experiences that you would never get to see otherwise, and brings you closer to people.
Do you have any movie-related social media for us to follow you on? (Letterboxd, a dedicated blog or twitter account, etc!): I have a letterboxd, dont_panic04, sometimes I'll write full blown reviews other times it's like a diary
Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out?: I love Paul Dano, Matt Damon, and George MacKay. They're all pretty versatile actors, and I find them to be underestimated by general audiences. They have a clear love for the craft.
What's your favorite movie?: The Talented Mr. Ripley is my absolute favorite! I've watched it multiple times, bought the CD from Goodwill, perused any and every little review, podcast, anything where people talked about it. It's a wonderful adaptation and one of the films you could call nearly perfect.

Helloooo!!!! On internet I'm just toaster/wafflemaker :) He/Him is fine 

I haven't watched any movies when I was young, had no idea what they are, and therefore didn't care. But as I was preteen Tarantino made me fall in love with cinema! Reservoir Dogs (1992) made me so curious about all the other things films could offer me and since then I wasn't the same (‾◡◝)

  • What is your favorite and least favorite trope?

Luv ambiguous characters and can't stand the 'miscommunication' conflicts

  • What's a movie mistake you can never unsee?

Not really a mistake, but hell does the overly done lighting just ruin the atmosphere sometimes... Like, nah, this minimum wage guy definitely doesn't have colour LEDs and softbox in his bedroom.

  • Why do you like movies?

It's fascinating how in just 2 hours of runtime you can experience so much as a viewer! Whole worlds can be told! Film is a perfect form of storytelling, capable of achieving things no other could done.

  • Do you have any movie-related social media for us to follow you on? (Letterboxd, a dedicated blog or twitter account, etc!)

Yep! That's my Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/6my6B. It's not filled entirely, but I would LOVE to find new people to follow! (〃 ̄︶ ̄)人( ̄︶ ̄〃)

  • What's your favorite movie?

Reservoir Dogs (1992) is the one I usually name. But I am also found of Last Year at Marienbad (1961), The Day of the Jackal (1973), Mulholland Drive (2001)Sin City (2005), Ikiru (1952) and Vertigo (1958)

What should we call you?

seal 


What pronouns should we use for you?

I honestly do not care, any 


What was the first movie that you remember watching?

I would say my best guess is Matilda 


Any favorite directors?

Nope


What is your favorite and least favorite trope?

My favorite is dreams or hallucinations telling the character (and the audience)  how they feel subconsciously.


My least favorite is definitely nerd to beautiful, I think it’s stupid and enforces conformity and the message of it is to never be yourself because you will be superficially liked. 


What's a movie mistake you can never unsee?

In home alone when the bags Kevin is carrying break, no tide detergent falls out but he just bought it in the store.


Why do you like movies?

I like art in general because I like immersing myself in the expression of a piece and I feel really connected to art but I like movies because they make me feel like I am in the life or perspective it’s being told from and i think that’s a very valuable experience


Do you have any movie-related social media for us to follow you on? (Letterboxd, a dedicated blog or twitter account, etc!)

I do have a Letterboxd but I don’t feel like sharing it cause I just use it for logging movies.


Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out?

Nope I don’t. 


What's your favorite movie?

I think right now it’s dancer in the dark or magnolia.

Hello, hello!! My name is Karma, I use she/her pronouns, and I am NOT a filmbro. The last person I exchanged Letterboxds' with, I was told I have shit taste in movies. Ykw, yeah, fair. I am not at all a critic, I don't care to watch the cinephile classics, though I love any other movie recs! I am also not that well-versed on Criterion, so I'd love another movie fanatic to guide me through the need-to-knows!

  • My name is Kyler!
  • Any pronouns, but mainly He/Him
  • First theater experience I remember was Avengers 1, but first movie in general was probably Kung Fu Panda or Batman Forever
  • WONG KAR-WAI IS MY GOAT!! BEST DIRECTOR!!
  • I don't really have a favorite or least favorite trope ngl. Depends on how it's done. 
  • Seeing the microphone pack on Bryan Cranston in the Breaking Bad pilot (cheating, ik)
  • Film is the ultimate art form! A culmination of every job/hobby/interest you can think of. Also, I'm a film student so I kinda have to like movies. 
  • My letterboxd is relyKdotMOV
  • It's either Steven Yeun or Ke Huy Quan bc, being an Asian American, seeing them on screen when the only representation I've gotten was Jackie Chan has inspired me in unimaginable ways. 
  • Right now, Sinners. Of all time, check out my Letterboxd top 4!!!

  • Ozzy or Oz
  • He/It
  • I can't think of my first movie, but a movie that I sat down and really watched for the first time as a kid might've been The Mask
  • Favorite directors are David Cronenberg and Wes Craven
  • Favorite trope is any type of big reveal plot twist and least favorite is any typical romance movie trope
  • A mistake that made the final cut that I still find amusing is in Scream 1996, the actor for Billy accidentally chucked the phone at the actor for Stu in the final scene
  • I enjoy movies because I can get lost in watching them so, it's a nice way to escape reality
  • Favorite actor is probably Matthew Lillard as he's honestly able to play a big variety of characters really well even if most of those characters are psychos
  • Current favorite movie is Crash 1996, my favorite changes from time to time

hey, i’m still pretty new to film stuff — just recently started really getting into movies. for now, i’m casually sharing some of my (very much non-professional) thoughts in my little blog.


what should we call you? patricia page / yuoka / or whatever variation feels right.

pronouns?
she/her.

first movie i remember watching?
twin sitters (1994) — i was obsessed with it as a kid lol.

favorite directors?
roy andersson is the closest to a perfect match for me. i also love david lynch (obviously), but andersson hits deeper in a way.

favorite trope?
least favorite? i don’t really have a favorite trope. my least favorite is the suffering revenge guy who chain-smokes and broods (though it can work if done right).

a movie mistake i can never unsee?
nothing specific 

why do i like movies?
because cinema is the strongest form of art. it can express anything in the weirdest, most unexpected ways.

movie-related socials?
letterboxd: pagetrix + this lil blog.

favorite actor?
tadanobu asano.

favorite movies?
songs from the second floor, the taste of tea, perfect days, lost highway, survival style 5+ & more ;;)
