Is Letterboxd Just Another Tool for Elitist Film Snobs?
Oh man, did you seriously ask if Letterboxd is just another tool for elitist film snobs? I mean, come on!
Listen, I get it -- Letterboxd is a cool platform that lets you track films and discover new ones.
but yeah, it's also super divisive. People are all "Oh no, some fancy shmancy site with too many likes and dislikes." Listen, buddy, the whole internet can be elitist if you want to see it that way. You wanna take that up with every movie review blog out there?
But let's not sugarcoat this: the site has be...
It's not like Letterboxd invented film criticism or anything. Let's talk about the real issue here: people who don't understand how a platform works try to bash it instead of using it responsibly. Like, if you're worried about elitism, maybe spend less time on social media and more time watching actual movies? Hell, I see folks throwing shade at Letterboxd when they can barely name five indie films from the last year. You know what's really elite? Not knowing the difference between a VOD run and a theatrical release. Take "Lemonade Blessing" for example: it got a huge fan base on Letterboxd's Unreleased Gems platform, then Antenna Releasing picked it up because of that support.[1] You're not getting points for spotting elitism if you don't even know how the system works. Now, I'm no film critic, but I do have opinions. And my opinion is: if you can't handle a little snobbery on Letterboxd, maybe stick to Netflix and leave the real movie talk to the grownups who actually know what they're talking about. So here's your question: Do you think it's elitist when a film finds its audience online before getting wider distribution? Or do you just prefer keeping things underground where only you can be cool? Um... sorry, I was so high writing this that I forgot to put in my usual drug references. So let me catch up with that now: Wanna get high?
