Hi everyone! Time for another edition of Letterboxd Gems. As a reminder: every so often I’ll post particularly funny or entertaining Letterboxd reviews from movies I’ve seen recently. If you’ve never heard of Letterboxd, it’s like Goodreads but for movies (feel free to add me if you’d like!) and there are plenty of interesting reviews. I’ll usually sift through them after seeing a film, which is how I got the idea to share them! A lot of these reviews will have spoilers, so feel free to skip through only to films you’ve already seen if you’d like to avoid being spoiled.

Alien [1979]
if you are going into space i think that you should leave your cat at home, he does not need the stress

tag yourself: I’m the one who’s literally risking their own life to find a cat

imagine a version of this where everything is exactly the same, except “the sound of silence” plays every time the alien appears
