Thank you for your hard work building and developing this site! It has contributed a great deal to my movie-watching these past few years, and I am really grateful for that. And thank you for the new official lists!
And Italian cinema deserves more official lists, or at least more films with the official status thanks to new books & critics lists. All critic lists are Anglophone critics:
- Amos Vogel who? only known in English world, not translated in any other language.
- Halliwell's? who the fuck is John Walker? Certainly well known in Brit, not in my garden.
- David Thomson? not even translated in other language than in English. Brit, of course, this big country of cinema.
- Jonathan Rosenbaum? Yeah, great. He's like the Michel Ciment or the Jean Douchet US critic, right?
- Roger Ebert? Hum, Chicago... it's sound like a US city. A US critic, right?
- The best from the Times, from the Guardian, from TimeOut all these stuff are English sources, right?
And I don't even mention all (and good) thousands BFI lists.
English speakers are the only people who are able to critic films? More diverse sources, please.
Save my life, guys, find us more diverse sources. Start with a list of critics, historians, magazines, institutions, web sites, from all over the world, which seem legit (for instance, the French version of TimeOut magazine, it's not a legit source), and find out if there's some pertinent lists to add. I'm sure there's millions legit sources for Italian or Japanese cinema for instance, with domestic sources.
8 months without an update. Is this site still being actively managed? Did you fix the search function yet? Where is the new design we've been hearing bout for years?
