It's a shame to see the boards go, but I can understand their reasoning.
Letterboxd and the others are handy for tracking movies, but I found that using Google Sheets with the OMDB API is much better. I can pull the information that I want and easily input titles from lists on Letterboxd and other sites. Add 'Cloud Ignite' instead of pulling from the XML though. Going straight to the XML isn't reliable.
For those looking for good conversations, /r/flicks is the best bet. /r/truefilm is fantastic, but is geared toward long-form discussion.
Its unfortunate for the community. The IMDB boards have been handy over the years. I'm surprised they didn't move to something like Disqus.
- Markoff 10y agoreddit is too messy, you don't have subreddit for every single movie ever released plus thanks to voting system you will see only popular opinions, controversial but valid opinions will be hidden i would recommend checking TMDb which launched discussions for each listed title just yesterday, so don't expect there will be much content, but at least each movie or TV show had its own page and own forum, much more neat than reddit
- stevewillows 10y agoTMDB is great. It's awesome that they have discussions now. I agree that reddit isn't ideal. With the size of truefilm and flicks, the threads aren't usually very big. Thanks for the heads up re: TMDB!
