I have one streaming service and it's the Criterion Channel. Burnt myself with all my mid 20th century slapstick comedies-- eventually took a Jimmy Stewart/Cary Grant break and found myself really enjoying a Woody Allen movie. It was in that moment that I realized that I've letterboxd'd too close to the sun
My letterboxd watchlist fits perfectly into a single screenshot, so for aesthetic purposes I am honourbound to watch something on it to take it off before I can add anything else. This has actually led me to watch at least One movie so far!!!!
It's like a choose your own adventure for emotions. Feeling down and don't feel like hitting the theater/restaurant combo? Put on your A24 hat and sign into your Criterion account. See y'all on Letterboxd :)
Just use it. Give away those stickers. Curl you hair with a sock. Cook with those canned beans. Make it work! Get a little creative and get comfortable with imperfection and impermanence
