MovieSnob
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.

"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.
-
"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?
-
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 (1939) or Donen/Kelly's Singing In The Rain (1952)?

It is suggested you do not subscribe if you are highly sensitive to either subjects.

I really hoped there'd be something like a "Classic Theatre" or "Movie Palace" community at lemmy.film--but alas. It ended up in here because the others available seemed even less appropriate.
And, yes, I have personal history with the theater--most recently having seen LICORICE PIZZA there 5-ish times when it opened there. (I also saw the original TRON first-run, and once sat next to "Urkel" for the first STAR WARS re-issue.)
I think we should attempt to convince Paul and Maya and Quentin to buy the place.
Well, my esteemed cinematic colleague, you have friends in high places here at lemmy.film. 🤣
Seriously though, if you'd like to create a "Classic Theatre" or "Movie Palace" community here at lemmy.film, your wish is our command! I personally think your idea would be a perfect fit. You can even be the ~~ringleader~~ moderator of said community if you like. Just follow this link and post a request for your community. Easy peasy.
That goes for all of you popcorn-munching slobs here! 😁🍿📽 Don't be shy! Got an idea for an apropos community here at lemmy.film? Follow this link and bombs away!
You're sick and need help. 😂😂😂 I love that movie but still can't figure out why! 🤣 See this post if ya don't believe me!
Peace!
It did occur to me to create a theater-related community. I'm wondering if it should be broader? Should it encompass ALL movie theaters/exhibition--not just the classic palaces of yore? 🤔
I Also noticed you had a few film format communities--but were missing a "70mm" one...
