  • i think if there is going to be a switch over to a weekly format that you should consider having an “upcoming films” notifcation or similar whatsit. a week is a short time to procur a film and view it for those of us who are nerds enough to follow along slavishly with your agenda yet are also busy with life.

    note that i have no idea what this supposed life would include, but people tell me they have them.
