Rider Strong Ditched Letterboxd Ratings. Here’s Why It’s a Smart Move
- Rider Strong’s Letterboxd confession.
- Why this move is a big deal for Hollywood careers.
- Our thoughts on this surprising trend.
Okay, so we just saw something really interesting about Rider Strong. You know, Cory Matthews’ best friend, Shawn Hunter, from Boy Meets World? Well, he’s got a whole other life as a film buff. He’s been using Letterboxd, that cool app where you can rate and review movies. It’s got a great, almost scrapbook-like aesthetic for film lovers.
But here’s the scoop. Rider has stopped rating movies on Letterboxd. Why? He said it’s “not a good look” for his career. He’s worried about what directors or producers might think if they see him giving their movies low ratings. He doesn’t want to accidentally make enemies before a project even starts!
Honestly, we get it. Imagine you’re trying to get a cool job, and your potential boss sees you’ve been slamming their favorite band on social media. Awkward, right? It’s kind of like that, but for the film world. Keeping your opinions to yourself in certain places can be a smart move.
We also think it’s a bit of a bummer, though. Letterboxd is supposed to be this fun space for people who love movies to share their thoughts. But if industry folks feel like they have to censor themselves, does it change the whole vibe?
Our Take
We think Rider Strong is onto something here. It’s a clever way to navigate the tricky world of Hollywood. While we love seeing honest opinions, sometimes keeping your thoughts private is the best way to keep doors open. Plus, who knows? Maybe he’ll start a whole new trend of industry insiders being super careful online!
