A community to discuss, debate, and celebrate the history of cinema, emphasis
on—but not exclusively—the groundbreaking, avant garde and experimental, with a
healthy dose of irreverence instead of the usual navel-gazing that usually
surrounds cineastic appreciation. *** ::: spoiler Community Rules 1. “All is
fair in love and war” but keep it witty or, at minimum, intelligent. If you
can’t do either, keep walking. This community’s administrators will not abide
simpletons nor bullies. 2. “Franchise picture”

fans and similar ilk, be forewarned: you are open game to be verbally flayed in
this public square. Did you not see the name of this community? 3. There may
will be occasionally adult subject matter (NSFW)—such is the nature of the
beast. While it is not the scope of this community to purvey nor condone extreme
or gratuitous sex or violence, neither subjects are necessarily condemned when
in context with the subject matter at hand. It is also not the scope of this
community to discuss only adult themes; how else could one discuss Fleming’s The
Wizard of Oz [(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Oz_(1939_film))]
(1939) or Donen/Kelly’s Singing In The Rain
[(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singin%27_in_the_Rain)] (1952)? - It is
suggested you do not subscribe if you are highly sensitive to either subjects. -
It is strongly suggested that authors of submitted posts mark NSFW content as
such. Err on the side of doubt. 4. All opinions expressed are strictly of the
respective authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the moderators of
this community nor the administrators of this instance (lemmy.film). ::: ***
