\n\tWhen this Boxd meets world\u2026 While Letterboxd<\/a> has become a popular destination for moviegoers, Rider Strong<\/a> is cautioning fellow industry folk from getting too comfortable on the platform.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Boy Meets World alum recently explained that he\u2019s \u201cstopped revealing my star count on Letterboxd\u201d so not to prematurely burn bridges with potential collaborators in projects he wants to write or direct.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s more to do with people I want to work with,\u201d he noted on the Pod Meets World<\/a> podcast. \u201cI realized that if I\u2019m asking an actor to be in a movie that I\u2019m writing or that I want to direct, if I\u2019ve rated one of their films half a star, that\u2019s not a good look because people check each other\u2019s Letterboxd. So I decided for the sake of my professional career.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStrong added of his Letterboxd ratings, \u201cI\u2019m extremist. So my problem, my approach is, I love it or I hate it. Whereas, like a lot of people, you look at their Letterboxd, you can see their average rating and they usually fall around the three-star mark. Mine are like a complete flat line because I [give] either half a star or five. So I\u2019m extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSince taking a more self-censored approach to Letterboxd, Strong said he\u2019s \u201conly removed, I would say, half of my star ratings,\u201d but the rest \u201care still out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter launching in 2011, Letterboxd has become a popular platform<\/a> since the COVID pandemic, surpassing 17 million subscribers<\/a> with its social media features that allow cinephiles to log the movie\u2019s they\u2019ve seen, rate them and review them. The owner of the New Zealand-founded brand, which has even become a red carpet fixture, began exploring a sale<\/a> of the platform earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When this Boxd meets world\u2026 While Letterboxd has become a popular destination for moviegoers, Rider Strong is cautioning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,83063,269508,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-821378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-letterboxd","tag-rider-strong","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
