Letterboxd Gems XVI

Sarah

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.

No Exit [2022]

the nail gun was the main character

chloeac

when the little girl opened tiktok but it was called klipklip instead………

natb294

A lot of rehab places let you leave if you sign a form saying you promise to try and rescue a kidnapped child.

bransonreese

Aliens [1986]

The most creative part of this was adding an “s” to the title.

jizzmonkey

probably would have liked this more if the cat had more screentime to be perfectly honest

leeyim

Did the math, and I do believe, on a purely technical level, “Get away from her you bitch!” does in fact pass the Bechdel test.

*fear of dating intensifies*

efw

Alien [1979]

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

demiadejuyigbe

leeyim

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

deathproof

The Thing [1982]

would i trust kurt russell with my life? absolutely
would i trust kurt russell with my dog? not a chance in hell

jay

Scream 3 [2000]

somehow the scariest moment in this movie was when carrie fisher appeared and said she wasn’t carrie fisher

You simply cannot argue with detective work like this

Brendan Fraser is BORN HIMBO. All he does in this is look hot, fight, and love and respect Rachel Weisz

phoebejl

I like that the Mummy’s #1 superpower is the ability to make his lower jaw like two feet long

Ammonite [2020]

why does ammonite feel like somebody watched an earlier cut of ammonite and wrote unfinished fanfiction about it

sapphical

draw me like one of your fossils

exmichina

no chemistry just geology

yazzjames

The Night House [2020]

Adding half star for having a character’s phone be on a charger while they sleep instead of just keeping it disconnected on the night stand like a sociopath.

brianwcollins

for a moment i thought she’s gonna fuck the ghost like tori spelling in scary movie 2

nadinessie

jump scares should be illegal honestly

suspirliam

My Girl [1991]

I did this to myself and now I have to accept the consequences.

Venom [2018]

venom really betrayed his entire species for one white boy… relatable

letterboxd user dirtgrub

this… is a romantic comedy

letterboxd user tototoro

fellas is it gay to literally occupy your bros body?

letterboxd user annreinking

Don’t Look Up [2021]

oscar-worthy performance by leo pretending to like women his own age

letterboxd user apple__

Don’t Breathe 2 [2021]

(content warning: rape mention)

I’m no doctor but I’m pretty sure that a child’s heart is too small for a fully grown adult to have put in their chest

letterboxd user zaragwen

There’s a scene in this where the blind guy is like I’m a murdering rapist maniac stay away from me!!!! To the little girl and she’s like NOOOOOOOOO I LOVE YOU 🥺 and and the only other person in the theater went “give me a fucking break” and i laughed out loud so that sums up this movie

letterboxd user hereditary

The blind guy is such a sympathetic character who just wants a second chance at being a father; and when an opportunity was presented in front of him, he was blinded by his own desire to fill the void in his heart that only a daughter can fix. Truly sympathetic. What a nice a guy. He deserves a second chance. He likes dogs.

I wonder what he did in the first movie tho better go check it out brb

Oops! I fucked a witch and now our son has anxiety

The Resort [2021]

the worst thing about this was that it was made

letterboxd user werodiinero

they spent literally half of the movie just getting to the resort

letterboxd user iovewitch

Candyman [1992]

If Candyman was real I would simply just not say his name 5 times in the mirror 😌

letterboxd user sapphicquinn

candyman’s catchphrase really should have been “i am beesed to meet you”

letterboxd user jay

Tony Todd’s voice is the 8th Wonder of the World
