The Letterboxd Era Catch Up 2: The Last Stand
One of my favourite things to do here on Letterboxd is, when I watch a sequel or reboot or remake to or of something, is to go through my friends' reviews and see if anyone has done a "Ugh why have they done this I'm so not watching this!" kind of review without even seeing it and unfriend them immediately.
