Established on February 12th, 2007, the Middlebrow Film Society is a revelation of sorts. It is a place where movies will be discussed in a serious, but not ostentatious, manner. It is a place for those of us who understand the artistic and entertainment value that can thrive at the movies. Most importantly it is for those of us who feel the need to talk about film on a regular basis.
The Middlebrow Film Society is NOT:
1. A place for celebrity gossip. The Society does not care whose crotch is on fire.
2. A "Fan" page. Whether you are a Ringer, a Potter, or a Narnian, you must be a movie lover first. We will not be discussing who should direct The Hobbit or trashing the new Transformers. We will be discussing and critiquing movies of all sorts with at least a modicum of objectivity.
3. A place for film snobs. Both La Strada and Beerfest are up for discussion here.
4. A place for film slobs. If you don't have anything more to say about Little Children besides "Kate Winslet takes it off", perhaps there are other pages for you.
The Middlebrow Film Society will soon be the only cinema related page that matters. How quickly this staus is achieved is up to you.
The Society needs movie lovers like you to do the following:
1. Read the page. Often. Then reread it.
2. Comment on the posts.
3. Come up with reviews, articles, and ideas of your own and donate them to the society. Submissions can and should be sent to: middlebrowfilm@gmail.com
4. Tell your know-it-all friends/family members/MySpace stalkers to partake in steps 1-3 above.
We here at the Society will work quickly to have fresh content made available to you. You do the same.
