As I understand it, this isn’t against the rules (Given SkipMagic’s Magic Board thread).
Join me at Shhhhhhhh! Film Discussions. Go to http://bfilmdiscussion.runboard.com/ and register. It’s the place where everyone can get in touch with their inner erudite critic. Feel like waxing smartassical about Douglas Sirk? Come on over. Think Ford is better than Hawks? You’re welcome to your opinions. Think Theda Bara kicks Pola Negri’s ass? We have a board for you. No, it’s not necessary that you think Verhoeven is a genius, but it helps.
I’m looking at you, Eve, Cervaise, ArchiveGuy, Walloon and C K Dexter Haven! (Or anyone else who loves film.)
Come play with us for ever and ever and ever…
Ilsa, you got permission to keep this here, and you can bump it once. That’s our standard policy for such self-advertising.
Cooool.
No one thinks Hawks is better than Ford, except perhaps that BRINGING UP BABY is better than DONOVAN’S REEF.
Harrumph, I don’t get a personal invitation?
sniff
We want **twickster[b/]… Com to our board, twickster… THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU< twickster!
Okay, I am on my first cup of coffee. Note: we are not going for a snobbery thing; we are welcoming all people and all opinions. We just want to have serious discussions about serious movies.
My one bump. Visit the NEW and IMPROVED site!
Survey says…XXX. Quite a number of people (most notably historian David Thomson) think Hawks is better than Ford (or at least his equal in every sense), including myself. I know I had a Ford-is-Overrated post a while back that got rebutted (by you maybe?) which I allowed to die for time issues, but I’m more than willing to state my case, here or at the new board–though, to be perfectly honest, I’m busy enough here–I doubt I’ll be able to actively participate much on another site; still, we’ll see. Thanks for the invite.
