Screen Slate First Viewings and Discoveries 2025 presented in ballot order, from the link below, to allow for easy following along with those who made the selections first (each film can only be listed once) www.screenslate.com/articles/best-movies-...

My new year gift to you all is this 2,600+ title @letterboxd.social list that compiles all of the films listed as First Viewings and Discoveries in the @screenslate.bsky.social year end poll. It's probably the only list where you'll find Rollerball (2002) alongside 25 films directed by Mikio Naruse.

I contributed some movie lists to the award-winning @screenslate.bsky.social. Use with caution.

Participated in @screenslate.bsky.social's end year round up. Mad that I did not see Ella McKay before this: screenslate.com/articles/bes...

I honestly think chains can bring people back by just stripping shit down. Buy a ticket watch a couple trailers and see a movie. It’s like every surface is an ad with a QR code asking you to sign up for 5% discount to Outback Steakhouse or whatever
