On every film forum I've been on, every post that isn't abut some crappy film in theaters is about a highly popular, overly canonized film. The best one's I've found would be the musical equivalent of a music forum where everyone only talked about The Beatles and Nirvana.

Have you tried DDD's movie forums?

Some biased assh*les, but theres a few smart cookies about the subject.

No, I haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a shot, but it looks a little to low on posts and list heavy for my tastes. I think I've been spoiled by Musicbanter, I expect way to much from internet forums now.

Actually, I've been looking around at it for a few minutes, and it's looking pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation.

This is a solid list. You and Janszoon are probably my favorite new members.

Keep it up.

97: My Town/Southern Oregon

I can't wait until I move to Portland. My town does have a movie theater, but it only shows the most popular films. Since it's a more rural and politically/socially conservative area, the theater is somewhat biased in what it shows (for example, An American Carol is playing here but Religulous isn't) If I want to see a newer film, and it isn't a hit at the box office, I usually have to wait until it goes on DVD. And our DVD rental and purchasing options are pretty dismal. I know that isn't exactly uncommon in smaller towns, but I still hate it. Thank god for the internet.

Also, on a slightly different note, Southern Oregon... actually, every place in Oregon with the exception of Portland sucks for filmmaking. I'm an officer in a group that is trying to bring attention to southern Oregon as a potential place to for filmmakers to film their films, and all of Oregon's film commissions attention lies on Portland. Oregon has plenty of beaches, small towns, forests, desert like areas, and many other places that would be great locations for filming that aren't going to be used because one small group of people is in control of the official Oregon film commission. Their jobs are secure no matter what they do, so they could care less about bothering to go the extra mile and include the rest of the state in their advertising. I plan to make films and/or other video related jobs for a living, so this is kind of a big issue for me.

It's like that in many parts of the world TBH. Unless you live in London or do film festivals, mainstream fare is all you get in most places. The supremely brilliant British film 'This Is England' did'nt even get a cinema release in my town and with a population of approx 100,000, it is a sad state of affairs and indicative of the monopoly the big studios have on our cinemas.
