Letterboxd Friday! Taking it slow.

The streak is broken, alas. After 94 straight days of logging something in Letterboxd, I didn’t watch anything yesterday. With no momentum to maintain, I will probably slow down significantly.

Jealous that you were there from the start. I discovered the show after the move to Sci-Fi.

Is today the day I don’t log anything in Letterboxd? I’m exhausted.

Letterboxd Recent Activity Valley of the Zombies - 2 stars The Catman of Paris - 3 stars Caltiki, the Immortal Monster - 3 stars White Echo - 2.5 stars

Letterboxd Friday. I’ve been training someone all week, so I haven’t had the bandwidth to double up.

Letterboxd Recent Activity Godzilla (1954) - 5 stars The Purchase Price - 2.5 stars War of the Gargantuas - 3 stars King Kong vs. Godzilla (Japanese cut) - 4 stars

Letterboxd Friday. I can feel myself starting to slow down, but I still haven’t had a single log-free day this year.

Letterboxd Recent Activity Day of the Outlaw - 4 stars Presentation, or Charlotte and Her Steak - 4 stars Just Neighbors - 3 stars Flamingo Road - 3.5 stars

Letterboxd Friday! Things are slowing down, though I haven’t missed a day logging this year so far.

Letterboxd Recent Activity Wedding Present - 3 stars Criss Cross (1949) - 3.5 stars The Big Clock - 4 stars The Tell-Tale Heart (2008) - 4 stars

RiffTrax Makes MST3K! — Four NEW episodes in 2026! Mike, Kevin, and Bill are heading back to the Satellite of Love for Mystery Science Theater 3000: THE RIFFTRAX EXPERIMENTS!

I'm so excited! I just backed RiffTrax Makes MST3K! — Four NEW episodes in 2026! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...

Letterboxd Recent Activity Cinderella (1965) - 3 stars Janine - 3 stars Possessed (1931) - 3 stars A Story of Water - 2.5 stars

Letterboxd Friday! Hit 50 logged for 2026, which means I have a lot of wiggle room on my overall goal of 150.

Bar none, the best source for 1930s and 1940s cinema this side of archive.org is HBO Max. I worry what will happen when Netflix consumes it.

Letterboxd Recent Activity Sing and Like It - 3 stars Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon - 3 stars The Mask of Dimitrios- 3.5 stars Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror - 3 stars

Letterboxd Friday! This was about to be slightly different, but my Internet died 15 minutes from the finish of Samurai III.

Thinking a lot about Tokyo Story today for Reasons (spelling corrected).

Letterboxd Recent Activity The Death Kiss - 3 stars Tender Dracula - 2.5 stars Charlotte and Her Boyfriend - 2.5 stars The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes- 4 stars

Letterboxd Friday! So far (and this wasn’t a goal), I’ve been logging at least one film a day.

And we'll keep watching the Magic/Jim Henson collab Boggart Ballad until morale improves! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCQ5...

Letterboxd Recent Activity Tricked (2012) - 3.5 stars All the World’s Memory - 4 stars Calling Philo Vance - 3 stars Night of Terror - 2 stars

Letterboxd Friday! Here’s my last four watched:

Having watched all of the Philo Vance movies available to me, I can now give my definitive ranking of Vance actors:
1. William Powell
2. Basil Rathbone
3. James Stephenson
4. Warren William
5. Edmund Lowe
6. Paul Lukas

I don't care enough to track down the PRC films.

My statistical analysis of my film viewing after seven days of 2026 reveals that my star of the year will definitely be H.B. Warner.

It’s on my list!

If you like the Evil Dead and wuxia, it comes recommended

Letterboxd Recent Activity A Chinese Ghost Story - 4 stars Castle of the Living Dead - 3.5 stars The Casino Murder Case - 2.5 stars Night Tide - 3.5 stars

Letterboxd Friday! Haven’t done one of these in a while.

A review of Paint Drying (2016) As I think I've probably watched my last film for 2025, I thought I'd take a second to do a little year in review. I started out the year with five goals -- 220 films logged, a little review for each ...

I wrote up a little end-of-year film summary on Letterboxd (by logging Paint Drying, as is tradition). boxd.it/clwIXZ
