Nope, this was a topless Asian lady wearing a scuba mask. Weirdo.

Watching Movies Alone with crumbsroom
I watched The Decline of Western Civilization recently (I'd seen excerpts before, but never the whole thing), which features a pre-Henry-Rollins Black Flag. Crazy how much he changed the band's energy, you can compare some of the songs played in the movie to the versions recorded for Damaged a year later or so, and the latter iterations sound so much more muscular.
The Fear performance at the end towers over everything else in that movie, though.

How are you guys finding Letterboxd btw? I first joined a couple of years ago, added a bunch of people who had been suggested to me by posters on another forum, quickly unfollowed most of them when it became clear most of them offered little beyond obnoxious hot takes and used it only for logging things for a couple of years.
It was only a few months ago when I started using it more actively, both to hammer out quick thoughts that I'm too lazy to copy over here usually and actually interact with others and build a watchlist. It helps that this time around I actually am following some decent users.
I've also gotten back in the groove of writing reviews on my blog, but a good chunk of them are for films not currently listed on Letterboxd.
If I was less lazy, I'd start up a viewing thread, but I'm also wary of flooding this forum with reviews of hardcore porn. (They're real movies, I swear. )

That's literally all I know about it.
Funny, I made the mistake of clicking on Rock's Letterboxd this morning and was immediately confronted with a naked lady. I WAS AT WORK, DUDE!
Ya know, I've been on Letterboxd for years but I don't think I really understand what the site is about/for.

I think some people use it more heavily for the social media aspect.*I stumbled across some comments alluding to recent drama, but have seen little in the way of actual drama myself, likely due to my limited exposure on the site.

My profile on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/5kSN
NSFW!!!!
I've been using it to read other people's reviews and drop the occasional comment, and mostly to build my watch list (which is why Captain Terror was confronted by said image at work).

West Side Story. What a masterpiece.
I dunno man, maybe I have filters on but there's nothing NSFW on the page when I look at it. I'm just enjoying checking out Rock's ratings.

It's on his watchlist. And I'm only messing around. My coworkers watch actual hardcore on their work PCs all the time.
Re: Letterboxd
I've been a "pro" for a couple of years now (which is like $1.50 a month or something), so I don't remember what I'm getting that the free accounts don't get. But one thing that I've found indispensable is the tie-in to JustWatch. So if I click on a director for example, I can easily filter his filmography to show all the movies that I can stream for free, based on the streaming services I have.
And I've found lots of good stuff while snooping around my friends' pages. I have no way to know if anyone ever visits my page, but every now and then someone I've never "met" will follow me, so I guess people are finding me occasionally.
And finally I'm a nerd when it comes to the stats, so I enjoy looking at all that stuff.
(My "most-watched actor" slot is shared by Moe Howard and Larry Fine, and they're about 80 films ahead of second place (Stan Laurel) so they're not likely to ever lose that crown.)
I've got a borderline OCD/collector's mentality when it comes to organizing stuff, so for me the site is very worthwhile. A more devil-may-care personality would no doubt find it less useful.

it appears you are on a Jack Webb tear.
And in Pete Kelly's Blues he plays a jazz trumpeter. You read that correctly. Joe Friday, the stiffest man ever born, playing jazz. (the opening scene is filmed at Fleming Plantation in Lafitte)

The logical end to horseshoe theory, I'm sure you would agree.
I have a 'horseshoe' joke in mind, but I think I'll refrain.
