Where do you all track your movies? Or why don’t you do that?

In my social circle there is just no one tracking movies at all so I wonder: is this considered odd? I love tracking and writing short reviews, so far I tracked it all with Letterboxd.

But now I wanna swap my movie tracking to trakt.tv due to nicer import options and the possibility to track series as well. (Did anyone do this before? I’d have to manually track like 650 movies 🤐 but I can’t find any script or app to automate this 🫠)

So where my fellow trackers at?^^

    I don’t. I don’t need the world knowing what I watch.

    I’ve since started using a habit tracker app to do it so I know for myself. I use Hindsight on iOS. I’m not sure what’s on Android. But there can’t be too big of a shortage of apps like this.

    So I set up one called “Watched a movie” and then I just log whenever I watch one. At theater, at home, who with, etc. Have one for shows, anime, and games, too.

    I actually do rate movies on IMDb, but there’s nothing quite like it that I know of. I know, it’s owned by Amazon so it’s trash, but what’s the alternative? I mainly use it to look up who’s in what, and the trivia.

      I’m not sure if I track for myself or for the world to know what I watch 🤔 Sometimes I wanna rant about a particular movie scene but like I said - no one in my social circle is into it and so I feel like talking to a wall. I guess that’s why I like the social aspect of letterboxd - reading other peoples reviews is fun for me.

      I do both so far, tracking my streaming habits in one habit-app and tracking the particular movie in letterboxd.

        Well, Trakt has a community too, and so does Letterboxd (as you know, you use it, I do not). So for the social aspect, those sites beat my implementation.

        We’re both using a Lemmy community where we can talk about the movie I just watched or that particular movie scene you’re thinking of, so we both have a half-measure (it’s not connected to tracking) that serves that purpose as well.
