I don't think there's been a formal opening. Donc, everyone is invited on over to I Love Film. In its first 48 hours ILF's been pretty busy, so I suppose it's a success. Come one come all.

I hope that I Love Film can do well. But, I also hope that film conversation doesn't leave I Love Everything.

Dude, there's nothing there about Kodak or Fuji. What gives? It's just a bunch of stuff about movies.

I don't know how often I'll visit - I don't get to ILM much, and I love music more than almost anything - but good luck with it.

"much"? -- Martin you're there all the time!

Well, I post there about a tenth what I do here, and read 5-10% of ILM threads against 90-95% of ILE threads, so it's a pretty big difference.

Just noticed what jel was saying - I have made a specific point of stating in my ILF intro that we don't want to steal any film discussion from ILE AT ALL. Just wanted to make that clear. We're just branching out, and I guess the idea is to include some geeky stuff that would take up space/go unnoticed on ILE. The existence of a board revolving around the discussion of film also seems to have brought some brand new celluloid-centric posters/lurkers out from the shadows, so hopefully this is A Good Thing.

I for one will still be chatting film here on ILE, but I hope people drop by ILF every now and again.

Just to prove it, I'm starting a film thread now!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Not that anyone cares really, of course, but I just finally got around to my ILM visit for the day, at 11pm, and I couldn't find a single thread that I could be bothered to read, out of over 100 updated today. Dear oh dear. (Perhaps I'm pissed off because my last thread, an RIP for someone who I think was pretty great, got one reply. But I don't think that's anything to do with it, really.)

Dude, there's nothing there about Kodak or Fuji.

I can talk about Kodak v. Fuji most all day, but something tells me I'd be talking to myself...

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin, who was the RIP thread for?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Homer Banks, a minor (I suppose) soul figure, but a great one. And not that minor either, really. I guess it's that my interests for the last fifteen years or more have been very little about rock and indie music, and it exasperates me sometimes that soul and stuff get so little time and space and respect there. You know, we'll have OPX Dinosaur Jr or Creedence Clearwater Revival (two rock acts I love, I'm not trying to pick on them!) and OPX soul. It's the same with 'music' mags like Mojo. April ish, the Who, May ish the Byrds, June ish all black music ever. I exaggerate, and I really don't mean any implication of racism, it's just the rock bias that wears me down. I can get into the dance and hip hop stuff there a lot (though drum & bass gets little love too), but historically there's not much balance, and unfortunately what I love tends to get short shrift.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, me too. I seem to spend less and less time on ILM ea week. Biggest disappointment: my '10 Most Favoritest Dub Albums' thread only got a handful of responses--I was hoping YOU would at least make an appearance there. *tear*

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah sorry - that's the trouble with being less regular there. You miss some that you would read and probably contribute to. I like dub, but I'm really not expert in it. I hope Tim H at least was there - he knows loads more than me about that. I guess he or Dr C might have noted the Homer Banks one, for instance, but not everyone is there reading everything all the time.

JIMMY, come and tell us. In having light, why not pass it on to others?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I want to hear what you have to say too.

― slutsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Just looked at that dub thread again. No, not even Tim H posted. I didn't think you were TOO into dub, but I respect your taste in reggae in general.
Homer Banks, you say? *checks AMG* That wasn't much help. What's the title?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The only Kodak v. Fuji argument I could take part in would be photography.

(Just to settle that: Kodak Portra films, Fuji Crystal Archive papers, Ilford old-tech films - HP5, FP4, Pan F, Ilford papers.)

Homer Banks, RIP.
