I was surprised, but not shocked, when I visited the forum today to find that Amazon has already locked down all conversation--and that Spark, which appears to be the replacement for the forums, is only on the iPhone! In any case, welcome. Things have been a little dusty here. Over the next few days, I will add some threads similar to those popular on the old Movie Forum. Of course, once you become a member here, you can create any thread you might like.
No Trump Land, as per the very few rules I would like us to follow.
If you have any questions, email me at newfilmforum@gmail.com.

In many respects, Amazon has fine customer service. In this case, it was a major failure.

Hello, gents,
Just a quick drive-by as I am here (at my terminal) but not actually 'here' (at work where my terminal is located)--not officially. I am a figment of everyone's imaginations, since I'm not back on the time clock until next week. But I returned yesterday afternoon from the wilds of the Internet Free Zone (aka the matriarchal homestead)and had to come in for the annual employer-provided flu shot clinic. We aren't supposed to leave the building until we are sure we aren't woozy so here I am. No woozier than usual although my arm does feel kind of hot. In the last week, I only got 30 minutes of online time at my sister's library and I needed to tend to some personal business online. There don't seem to be any major fires to put out, so I dropped by the site of our former glory just to see what it looks like now. Alas, it's nothing but a burnt-out ruin. Manderley, that's the Amazon Discussion forums now. Well, as previously announced, I am no longer an Amazon customer, due to their cavalier treatment of their loyal forum customers in this whole matter. It's been leading up to this for about a year, and with the reneging on their word about the date they would actually go dark, they have revealed for good and all what they *really* think about anything other than getting their hands on our money. So sod 'em. I'll shop at Target instead.
Okay, rant over. I'm just sad at the prospect of not 'seeing' so many of our forum friends again. I sure hope that the Baron and Cavardossi to name two find us here.
I'm off to finish vacationing . . or 'staycationing' rather. I'll be back with topically appropriate content sometime soon.
P.S. I am one of this site's charter members. How long do I have to be 'New'?  |

Well, I did finally make it here. I have been having trouble with the site recognizing my password, something that had me stumped for a while. I'm actually aurprised that it finally let me in today. I guess it got tired of fending me off. Now, if I can only figure out how to initiate a post, rather than having to reply to other posters. I haven't figured that game out yet.
The empty Amazon forums page now fills me with no small amount of sadness, thinking of all the interesting posts that have been left there over the years by so many fans of those forums. And, yes, Amazon, many, if not most of us were surely costumers, customers now more than a little disgruntled, if not royally ticked off! Many thanks to William for having started this new one.

Cav: Glad to see you here. "Reply" is just making another post, not a specific reply to the previous one. I can of course start new threads as well.
