Listening to the Shockwaves and Pure Cinema podcasts I discovered a social media site for cinephiles, Letterboxd. (No, the ‘e’ is not missing that is the site’s name.)

It’s a site dedicated to films. People post lists of movies that they have seen, reviews, and movies that they want to see. It seems like it might be a good way to get heads up on films that interest me that aren’t part of the main cycle of releases.

I spent some time yesterday figuring out how I could export the information from my database of films I own into a format that would allow me to import them into Letterboxd. I did eventually work it out and now I have a listing of over 400 movies that I have seen, since everything in my library is something I have seen. I have very rarely purchased a movie without having watched it. Now I will spend time her and there for the next few weeks rating the movies and adding to list movies I have seen but do not own. Luckily my AMC movie app keeps a full history of all the movies I see at my local AMC theater. Of course, I am happy to have another place to post my opinion and reviews of films. This should be fun.
