Every time the board moves, we lose more users. Very unfortunate.

I think the sites in general lose more people rather than the board itself. Couple it that tons of people nowadays don't even post publicly anymore, they stick with PMs or le discord which is practically a PM server, ZOGbook Insta Jewtube and the likes have way fewer comments than before; people don't want to express their ideas outside a "safe" channel.

There isn't any film discord without the tranny shit and 4chan /film/ is too retarded for me to participate in. It's sad.

I procrastinate way too much, i said i would get a scheduler even for my free time and hobbies, you reminded me i have to so thank you.
Supposedly i want to post 3 director overviews and translate a basic writing course i got into some years ago. Overseeing Takashi Miike might be a bit too much, love his work but half of it cannot be found that easily.

That's great! I think you can find all of his films on private trackers like avistaz or so. Rutracker is a public alternative.

ruTracker has a lot of obscure stuff, sometimes they have the only file even including private trackers but they have this nasty tendency of hardcoding their local russian dubs without adding the original track back in.
I have seen that way too many times, but for their local films there's no substitute although i haven't delved into their cinema that much aside from the basics (Eisenstein, Tarkovsky, Zviyaginvaxx)

Avistaz and Cinemaz open registration a few times per year, you could watch out for them.
Soviet/Russian films are comfy. Mosfilm has uploaded many 4K restored films on youtube with Eng subs. Lots of films you can't find subtitles anywhere though.
What happened that we have 3 whole people here all the sudden

Just found out that the board has moved here. I'd love to post more, but I'm not film-educated enough to write a long review of any film, so I just chime in when I can.
>>3343
I'm also here but I stopped watching films a few years ago so I have nothing to post

>I'm not film-educated enough to write a long review of any film
A couple who used the board 10 years ago weren't either, as long as you are sincere i don't think anyone will bat an eye, anything that expands our view is good.

I am starting to get an idea to device a small post format so anyone can very quickly report back anything they've seen/read related to us, like a data sheet/bok report form, but kinda makes things a bit more mechanized/dumbed down which is against the whole idea... still i think it can also wake a bit more curiosity from some of us as long as we don't replace or force our actual long-winded ideas within that.

I think it could be a good idea, having a sort of form for interesting points to note from a film. Of course people can always elaborate more in the post if they want. If a film is not interesting enough they could just talk without filling the "form".

Care to share? You piqued my curiosity. 

What movie is that screenshot from?

I mean if someone doesn't want to talk extensively about something they didn't like that much or don't have the time they can just fill a quick form about the thing they saw, on the contrary if they liked it i suppose they can always elaborate more as you mentioned.
The form is like those small card synopsis one saw in libraries to very quickly check the inventory without having to see book by book.
Am i old enough to say i visited libraries with old school systems? it wasn't that long ago i swear

>Care to share?
I suppose it can be seen in some threads from one of the /film/ shelters that migrated old stuff, i think we still have one of those around. Checking a bit there's the first "comment on last film seen" thread post-4cham located in the mummy of the old site, may allah forgive me for daring to utter this name, 8kun. 
Saying they weren't educated enough is being unfair, anons probably are better back then than me today, their brevity and straight to the point emphasis is notable hence my intention to say you don't need long-winded texts if you don't want to do them, discovering new things and feedback is the intention.

>What movie is that screenshot from?
Just a silly idiosyncratic music video, 1984's Hyperactive by Thomas Dolby and Daniel Kleinman aka CGI director for James Bond intros.
Started seeing/listening again to Dolby recently because he's being blacklisted for wrongthink again and i remembered he had some really interesting ideas behind his bitching tracks. 
I like that his cultivated image by the media of being a real nerd pop star got trashed and forgotten the day he started voicing scientists/researchers were overly dogmatic and not open-minded enough for research work to begin with. I don't know why he got so much heat, after all his most famous song shows scientists as either conmen, deranged or lobotomized by their peers.


Some old advertisement/personal stuff show quite unique storytelling devices that cannot be thrown into a full length work easily enough due to their complexity or experimental nature, i would like to think long enough on the fact some movies are several small, compact main works stringed between each other with mundane or pragmatic scenes that build up for the next main montage segments. Sometimes some movies have very few, some others have many, some are focused on actors' performance only, others in aesthetics, others in reflective and/or contemplative moments, others combine 2 or all and i want to remember what movies have everything with very few mundane enough link ups or ones that can be considered main works due to their quality. 

A viewer needs rest but there's even art in resting the eyes, now i am also realizing that maybe movies are actually labeled depending on the nature of the main moments/segments/montages rather than the rest of movie, say if the cool scenes are 15 or so minutes out of a 90 minute movie perhaps the labelling is dependent of that but then narratively-speaking (which is the main factor in choosing) what if the main plot points happen in the other 75 minutes? that would make it an expositive-heavy movie? after all that's what it's for yet cinema should be storytelling via movement... guess i need to read more but i sure as hell think having many main segments is better than less if we can guarantee they will be all good.
