Finished up the work discussed previously; I’m now planning on running an update weekly on Monday, which will aggregate the previous week’s reviews. There are working spoiler blocks. An example post: Movie Reviews: 6/27/2022 to 7/3/2022. The code for all this is now public at https://github.com/BryantD/letterboxd-feed-wp.
Movies reviewed this week: Age of Bloom and Leave Her to Heaven.
Movies reviewed this week: The Third Man, All the King’s Men, and The Neon Bible.
Movies reviewed this week: Cradle Will Rock, How Green Was My Valley, Alphaville, and Jules and Jim.
I love copying my Letterboxd reviews over here, but I hate how much they dominate my feed. This week I started rewriting my script so that it’ll batch reviews up a week at a time. Gonna take a little more thought about formatting and such, but I’ve got the basic aggregation working and the output looks like this: Year: 2022 Week: 9 Polytechnique, 2009 - ★★★★★ (contains spoilers) Week: 10 Forbidden City, U.S.A., 1989 - ★★★½ The Last Days of Disco, 1998 - ★★½ A Bay of Blood, 1971 - ★★★ So that’s cool. This’ll also let me comfortably grab the whole backlog from Letterboxd via their export feature, which I didn’t want to do because a lot of my older reviews (from, say, Fantasia) are one-liners.
Movies reviewed this week: Lola, Blue My Mind, The Tune, and First Love.
Movies reviewed this week: This Sporting Life and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
Movies reviewed this week: The King of Marvin Gardens, Three Colors: Red, and Funny Games.
Movies reviewed this week: A Room in Town, Love and Anarchy, and Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers.
Movies reviewed this week: The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, Purple Noon, Petite Maman, and La Haine.
