Anyone Here Use IMDB or Letterboxd/IMTB?
 
Here's my IMDB I just started separating my horror collection+horror wants into different categories for own personal reference: https://www.imdb.com/user/ur14198739..._=nv_usr_lst_3

I also just started Letterboxd and an IMTB account recently. Haven't done anything on IMTB (this is what letterboxd is linked to database wise) but have started up a letterboxed seen here: https://letterboxd.com/Adam1983Feb/

Letterboxd does the whole star rating thing and I don't know if I like that too much as most films I bother to rate are something I find at least somewhat worth watching in order to even get to the rating...

I pretty much use IMDB for collection or Wants and letterboxd for just keeping track of random films I've seen (many of which no intention of buying).

Anyone else use these?

Anyone else have some lists here?

Come on group, these forums are dead. The view statistics must be fake or people just looking and never replying here... I will have to leave if this doesn't liven soon. Everyone goes on Facebook groups now I get it. Meta. That being said, there's something about a regular internet forum where can view threads that works better. This place needs to liven up.

I havent been to letterbox. I checked out your list. Cool stuff! I was thinking of checking out Chariots of Fire again. Havent seen it since the first time.

I use imdb; but i havent made any lists.

Do you just rate movies on IMDB? The forums there about 10 years ago were nice while they lasted but admittedly quite a bit of junk.

I made 2 lists for letterboxd 1 being the "Asian Horror" and the other just of a "Life's Journey". IMTB I'll probably just leave blank for now.

IMDB seems to be a bit more comprehensive. I'm trying to make 1 for Classic Universal Legacy Horror I just made public and another for Classical Silent film horror I'm still working on for the moment. I tried making one on pre-1900 silent shorts but that got too long and cumbersome so just keeping private for moment until figure out what to do with it...

I give reviews and ratings to movies here on this forum. I put them in the appropriate time period forum. There's probably about 50. I don't rate films on IMDB. Not sure what I would get out of it.

Actually rottentomatoes (RT) used to have excellent forums. I started debate post/thread about Donnie Darko that had an insane number of views and posts. I was arguing Darko wasn't about time travel, but instead basically the same theme as Jacobs Ladder, that Donnie had died and was in temporary dream-dimension until he could figure out why he died and then move on in peace. But who knows why, RT took them down.

Amazon bought Imdb that continued to operate autonomously for many years to a point...

2007 Comcast bought Fandango and 2011 NBC/Universal finished becoming majority owner after buying the studio but both company's also still run autonomously supposedly. Around 2016 fandango acquired flixster and rottentomatoes from wb as well as m-go from a separate company that renamed fandangonow (fandango of course would then buy vudu from walmart 2020 combining vudu and fandangonow this year). The internet landscape is continuously changing but less subsidiary as it once was. Online communication is also becoming more streamlined to attract and accomodate the masses is how i perceive it.

Letterboxd and imtb are newer but like youtube have ads have to pay subscription to stop. I only rated on letterboxd to track what watching but find lists more interesting cause not interested in dwelling on films dont like.

I joined Letterboxd a few months ago. I try to update it as much as possible. It's pretty cool to meet fellow cinephiles :) Here's my profile on it:
