I was thinking the same thing. Easily done if there is enough interest. I'd read it for sure.

This wouldn't be right for what you are suggesting, but I always thought that (m)peg-leg would be a good name for a movie trading/pirating site. Yarrrr.

• Any excuse to trot out a scull and cross bones logo is good w/ me. An obnoxious foul-mouthed parrot might also work nice.

• parrots, of late, make me think of jimmy buffet. not something i want to think about. what is a parrothead? is it anything like the dittoheads jim was telling me about?

• I think it's more like a dead head. Except for the Jimmy Buffet part, I mean. Anyway, Dave, you're the man for the job. Movie page names?

• cinefiles -- stock footage -- lower the boom -- the cutting room -- key grip -- the gaffer -- not goddard -- a few good movies -- the final cut -- test pattern -- the viewfinder -- cinex -- electric eye -- cinegraph -- zoom reflex -- laterna magica -- muybridge -- kinetograph -- lumiere

  trailer trash is a good one. then i did a search and noticed that its the name of feeds movie reviews among others. not that mine are all that original. by the way, 'not goddard' was similiar to 'why i hate this movie by steve' in that it was born of steves dislike for the filmmaker.

• it took me a minute to comprehend the relevance of jujubees even though i had considered milk duds for awhile. screenshots is also good. i like the sound of scattershot even better although its obviously less evocative.

• I like Goddard, I just said he sucks to get a rise out of those limeys on Rivington St.
  I was let down by Weekend, expected it to be the best film ever made. My god, that wonderful car wreck, but so bogged down by that French philosophizing.
  I loved Alphaville.

• Screen shots is nice. But is there a name in that jujubees / milkduds vein? I'm only asking because that would really lend itself to a nice little logo. Those candy packages are so distinctive. But I gave it some thought and couldn't come up with anything. Screen shots is pretty good.

• "Bad-N-Plenty" or "Good-N-Few"?
  - steve 3-03-2001 8:54 am [add a comment]




• We could play on the pink, white and black Good-N-Plenty box and the theatrical mask motif :-))-:

Although not appropriate the first thing I thing of when I see "Names?" is Labrador Twister, and Bog Sucker, which Dave Barry would say are great names for a band but Alex might say if a woodchuck could chuck wood. And who's to say he can't.

• I like cinefiles. If anyone surfs into the tree they'll know what's to be found if they click on it; it's also a good play on words. Do any other magazines/websites use it?
  - Tom Moody 3-03-2001 7:25 am [add a comment]




• A couple, but they don't seem to preclude our use. I definitely agree with you about other people being able to understand it. That seems like a good thing. This is perhaps a problem with our current set up.
  
  Cinefiles Vs. Screen Shots in the showcase showdown? Any other contenders? I was going to say Movie Mash, but I think both of these are better.
  - jim 3-03-2001 8:10 am [add a comment]

Wait a minute, does this mean that we have to actually view and comment on the sucky movies that are released? Sounds expensive and frustrating ;-)
I was planning on doing a movie section on my page but think Bill's idea is a better one.
Now I can focus on a links page to film tech, movie and director web sites etc.

• I definetly plan on doing a mpeg and Flash section on my page.
  - steve 3-03-2001 8:51 am [add a comment]




• I didn't mean to suggest any hard fast rules subject wise. Things get cross posted around here on purpose and otherwise w/out prolem all the time. All I got by way of a name is : Cine-Fin
  
  
  - bill 3-04-2001 12:51 am [add a comment]




• Yes. Cross posting. Bad in the usenet world. But good here. And much moreso in the next system. Data should be pointed to from a variety of places; this increases the chances of you being able to locate something in the future. Steve's movies on his page, of course, but maybe they can also be on a master list on the movie page (I'm still thinking cinefiles in my mind, but waiting to sense some convergence out there.) Although my guess would be that the page would be more discussion of others work, rather than showcasing our own. That said, I can't wait to see Steve get into Flash. And I've been steadily negotiating for the movie rights since day one. Some actual digital media on the digital media tree? Unbelievable.

• Did you really get that stuff? Nice. I've been staying out of the movie conversations (well, not counting that random crouching tiger plug,) but Faces is some good stuff. That one I really liked.
  - jim 3-04-2001 7:14 am [add a comment]




• Yeah, I was/am amazed at how cheap these cards are. I don't know what to do with them though.
  Funny thing about movies, how a few make me want a physical piece of them. Cassavetes films do that to me, as does Kubric's 2001.
  I don't really understand this impulse. Whereas collecting silver age Marvel comics makes total sense to me.
  Anyhoo, "FACES" is one of my all time fave movies. Jim, have you seen "SHADOWS"?
  - steve 3-04-2001 8:29 am [add a comment]




• Great group of Face posters. Good catch. ebay is a great image source, even if you don't win the hard copy.

• The one item that I constantly search for is a replacement for a lost "Endless Summer" poster that I had bought as kid. It was way oversized (much much larger than the actual movie poster and with saturated silk-screened day glow florecent ink and they drop the movie text (credits etc). I've seen plenty of the real original movie posters and plenty smaller repro versions of the one I had. But not my poster ! The search continues, maybe by the year 2525 if man is still alive......
  
  also thats not my bid on the warhol stills so their up for grabs but wouldn't go much over their present cost.
  
  and I double posted "series" (above) by mistake, lurkers don't get edit options.

• Yes, I'm sure it is. I just swapped in a new script I wrote for the discussion page. I'm not totally happy with the formatting, but at least now I can see this page. I'm not sure if it was a navigator problem or if it was happening to everyone, but this thread had too many levels of nesting. My machine would choke if I tried to load in the whole thread. Too many nested tables. Now it's all done with lists and works no problem for me (much quicker, actually.) Even when I go to the top of this thread. Anyway, I'm still researching if I can get those squares to go away. Working...
