One way to advertise /film/ is to create profiles on movie websites. I made an account on letterpleb with some of the lists from this board:
http://letterboxd.com/8chanfilm/
I used favorites from >>8357 and added films that people had mentioned here previously (not comprehensive). The profile still looks empty without reviews and ratings. It might be best to add some reviews for obscure films. Then we'll get noticed when people search for them.
EDIT: I changed my mind. Obscure is good, but we'll have limited impact if that's all we post. So contribute whatever you want.
If you guys want to help you can:
- Give some quick film ratings.
- Find reviews to add, maybe one you posted here in the past. It doesn't have to be a Film Comment essay. In fact if you're funny or subversive it helps us stand out.
- Suggest other lists. We talked about doing a poll of everyone's favorites to create a toplist.
- Follow the account and "like" the content to boost the numbers.
- Offer any other suggestions for improvement
After we get this profile up and running, I will move on to other sites and duplicate what I can.
