I meant for this video to go up a week or so ago, but it took way longer to edit than I had anticipated. Apologies for that! But I basically go through my 2023 Letterboxd Year in Review. I never got the chance to share what I watched last year, so here it is. Follow me on all social platforms but ESPECIALLY Letterboxd: @inn_mho Also: 1) This is not an ad for Letterboxd. But Letterboxd if you're watching...hi. 2) That notebook is exactly what you think it is. 3) Take a sip every time I mention Cate Blanchett. 🤪
i've been a tv over film person for a long time and while I have been trying to watch all the classic films to rectify that, i still feel like I will always prefer tv. when i say tv i mean when we had 22 episodes of desperate housewives per season. i hate the miniseries approach by the streaming companies. or maybe its the viewers that prefer shorter stories these days ?/ IDK, i feel like maybe its an instant gratification kinda environment we are living in, coz i'm also not a fan of 1 minute long songs. LOL (sorry for the rant)
No worries, Nivea. I think this is a really valid point. There’s been discussion/debate online that TV doesn’t know how to “TV” anymore. There’s a part of me that misses the 22 episodes/season format as well.
You do your deep dives just based on the talent etc… my Vanessa deep dive was just because I think she’s hot 🤷🏽♂️ half the movies aren’t great but I just get to look at her for a bit.
I mean to be fair, mine is largely talent but also how hot they are, lolll. And to think when you get to those Vanessa Christmas movies, you get MULTIPLE Vanessas.
Ooooh - idk if it’s too late for me to do a review on May December since it came out a while ago. I was thinking of maybe making a video about movies that I wish got more attention/more love from the Oscars - May December being one of them. But in case that doesn’t happen, I absolutely loved May December. It’s one of my favorites of 2023. I think Natalia’s Portman getting to work with Todd Haynes was a great match. Loved seeing yet another collab between Haynes & Julianne Moore. And Charles Melton - ugh, he should’ve got more love this awards season. I think what I love about May December and Todd Haynes in general is that it’s a movie that gives room for the actors to act.
@@innmyhumbleopinion Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this movie. Very impactful film, I’ve been thinking about it ever since I saw it. Depicted nuances from Natalie & Julianne were mesmerizing.
Ooooh - Glenn Close. And I actually had Kate Winslet in my mind as well. I've also thought Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, Angela Bassett, or Viola Davis would be good, too. So many options! Yep. Totally had both of those names on that list. I think Anya Taylor Joy in particular is a fave amongst that age group.
Steffi, I really do like the direction you are going. I will have to check out the new site--seems VERY organized and easy to follow. I am down the rabbit hole of True Detective right now. IMO, Coleman Domingo is FINALLY getting his due! He deserves it! See you soon!!
While I was editing I was like, "this seems like a very ambitious project", lollll. But I need to get on the Katherine Hepburn train for sure. Any movies that particularly stand out to you?
Letterbox gave me Chris Pratt in my email but he’s tied with Keanu. Don’t like Chris like that it was just from watching the Guaridans movies + Super Mario.
Do it!! Ago is so talented. And she writes really funny reviews on Letterboxd. But I think she’s probably going to cut back on using Letterboxd because her account is so popular.
When you flashed the scene with Blanchett that started your deep dive, I had to go see that you were talking about Carol probably. EDIT: I see that you talked later in the video about covering Carol extensively in your diva dailies and you saw it four times.
i know this video probably took a while to make but i’d definitely watch more about whichever actors or directors you’re into at the moment! if you have time, i’d also love to hear your top 10 of last year as well. just more steffi videos overall please! 🫶🏾 edit: sidenote, i know you said you were a bit burnt out on tv but man has their been some good stuff there as well
Thanks for always being interested in whatever I end up blabbing about, Chance. 😂 Idk if it’s too late for me to do a Top 10 of 2023, BUT - I was thinking of potentially making some Oscar related videos. So there might be some overlap there. Also, a majority of the movies I did watch last year were older releases. 😂 More videos to come soon, for sure. I think I finally committed to my first video essay topic on a whim, lol. And to your last point, it’s actually kind of TV related!

Hi Steffi, this is your friend Nicole from Diva Dailies checking in :)
cue theme music!

@@innmyhumbleopinion I may be a fake stan, I didn’t even bother with the last one-
Can u do review for May December? I’d ❤ to hear your thoughts about this movie.

As for established actress, maybe Glenn Close or Kate Winslet?
As for star-on-the-rise, maybe Anya Taylor Joy or Florence Pugh?
Ooooh - Glenn Close. And I actually had Kate Winslet in my mind as well. I've also thought Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, Angela Bassett, or Viola Davis would be good, too. So many options!

Hi Miss Connie! Great to hear from you. Yes, it's totally easy to use.
Letterboxd has been around for a while. I have one myself even though I am not currently a frequent film watcher
My most watched nanogenre was “screaming” 💀
Lmfaoo. I didn’t even know that was a nano genre. What does that even mean? 💀
@@innmyhumbleopinion I guess it has to do with the amount of horror I watch but that’s SO specific 🤣
Katherine Hepburn is an amazing actress - you'll have lots to watch there if you go with her. I'm excited to see who you choose for that project.
While I was editing I was like, "this seems like a very ambitious project", lollll. But I need to get on the Katherine Hepburn train for sure. Any movies that particularly stand out to you?
@@innmyhumbleopinion The Lion in Winter is iconic and Bringing Up Baby
Top actor was Keanu Reeves & top director was Chad Stahelski, director of the 4 John Wick movies lol.
Letterbox gave me Chris Pratt in my email but he’s tied with Keanu. Don’t like Chris like that it was just from watching the Guaridans movies + Super Mario.
Ayo Edebiri was my introduction to Letterboxd. I might have to get an account! I also strongly recommend doing a deep dive into Katherine Hepburn.
Do it!! Ago is so talented. And she writes really funny reviews on Letterboxd. But I think she’s probably going to cut back on using Letterboxd because her account is so popular.
When you flashed the scene with Blanchett that started your deep dive, I had to go see that you were talking about Carol probably. EDIT: I see that you talked later in the video about covering Carol extensively in your diva dailies and you saw it four times.
That’s the Carol Effect, lol.
Great breakdown. LOVE Letterboxd! Looking forward to your reviews there in 2024!
Thanks, Lara! Idk if we follow each other on there, but follow me. Would love to read your reviews and see what you're watching, too.
@@innmyhumbleopinion You're officially followed by Malaine (my 2nd name). There are way too many Laras on LB 😊
i know this video probably took a while to make but i’d definitely watch more about whichever actors or directors you’re into at the moment! if you have time, i’d also love to hear your top 10 of last year as well. just more steffi videos overall please! 🫶🏾
