Update: Letterbox Lists

 


So, I've been on Letterbox for a year or two now. I find it's very easy to categorize movies that you've seen or movies you put into your watch list.

Well, I've made a couple lists on there that are relevant to this blog. A list of movies I have reviewed, and a list of movies I want to review.

Mostly these are for me, it's going to be better to not have to pull up files buried in my documents folder just to look at potential reviews or whether or not I've already talked about a movie (That will be a problem later down the line). However, if anyone does wish to recommend a movie to review, these lists are here to let you know if I have already done that movie, or if I have some plans to review that movie.

The Movies I Reviewed list also has links to each review. I think it can be handy for some people.

If you want to check out each list, feel free.

With all that said, I will see you in February, not sure what I'll review yet. I'll decide on something.

2021 - What is happening here for the new year?

 


So, a brand new year is here. 2021, honestly I thought it'd never get here. Well, with the new year, what is gonna change?

Well, hopefully nothing. However, that is only because I am trying to implement a new upload schedule.

Because of school, I will still only be releasing one review a month, however, to make up for that I'm going to try to post one Editorial or First Impressions as well. Reviews typically are posted on the first of the month, which free up the rest of the time for really anything.

So, there will be three kinds of posts on this blog:

1. Reviews - Standard reviews of animated movies, these will be released on the first of the month. For 2021, I'm going to try and focus on some older movies, at least pre-1990s, but no guarantees that I'll stick to that. I tend to review what I want.

2. First Impressions - Talking about newly released movies and whether or not they're worth seeing. Mostly these will have to be movies released in theatres, onto Netflix or Disney+ (As those are the two streaming services I have) or a notable direct to video feature. I also need to have something to say about it, even if it's just me saying "This is funny", if I have a very clear feeling towards the movie, than I'll make a blog about it.

3. Editorials - Just blogs where I talk about something that is on my mind, whether it is the sorry state of Netflix Originals or why I don't like a particularly beloved movie. If it is in some way related to my blog, I'll talk about it.

With all that said, I'm gonna take January off. I'd say it's for relaxing, but school starts on the 4th for me, and that sucks. So, it's more going to be for getting back into the swing of things. Once I'm done with school, I can get back to the original intent of this blog and releasing a post on a weekly schedule.

Well, with all that said, here is to hoping that 2021 is a better year for us all. Take care, stay safe, wash your hands and Fare-thee-well!
