Author Topic: Welcome to the afterlife Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2003 03:40 AM                     This is probably the #1 most requested forum I get emails on. Being a film based website and with home theater/DVD forums already existing out there I didn't figure this would be worth setting up, but the requests keep coming in...so let's see how it goes for awhile. Please use this forum for all discussion of movies once they have left their general theatrical run, as well as DVD reviews, home theater equipment and setup questions, and just anything that isn't theatrical film oriented. If you are reviewing a movie on DVD/video that already has a thread going in the theatrical movie reviews forum, please start a new one here. (If we end up closing this forum due to inactivity, all posts made here will be moved to Yak.)  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Yes, I do plan to post often in this forum because it is the only means I have to enjoy movies once again at home either on DVD, laserdisc or tape in my home theatre set up after films had finished their theatrical engagements . -Claude  |  IP: Logged Patrick McDonough Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Greenfield Ma.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-24-2003 11:11 AM                        Shouldn't the movie reviews all be grouped together, regardless of date? Suppose I watch a movie that was released two years ago and already has a thread in the reviews forum. Should I post my new comments to the old thread in the reviews forum or here? What if I watch a 20-year-old movie on 35mm film? Should I still post the review here? Comments?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2003 11:49 AM                     That was a hard decision. Ultimately I felt that just going with a flat "if the movie is no longer in it's regular theatrical run, post in the Afterlife" decision. That could be changed, but for now this works. *Most* reviews 6+ months after a movie's original theatrical date will be in regards to a video screening and as such I would be interested in also hearing comments about how well the transfer is, any extra material and such (sort of like how the actual theater's presentation is frequently included in the movie review). For something like a repertory screening, I'm not going to be too picky about which forum it goes in, but unless it is a big 70mm event movie, it is probably best here.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-13-2005 01:30 PM                 It has been 842 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-13-2005 01:30 PM                 Smashing idea, pure genius at work film is a universal medium and there are lot people that well thank you for the effort to set this up, Brad high numbers man….  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 04-23-2009 09:51 PM                 It has been 1380 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
