I'm glad you gave the site a look. I think it has a lot to offer. As for my Criterion covers, I posted them in the forum last month but you can also see them here: <a href="http://kimberlylindbergs.com" rel="nofollow">kimberlylindbergs.com</a>. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Hi Jason! I’m glad you gave the site a look. I think it has a lot to offer.

Strange that I compulsively studied the Janus and Criterion catalogs for years as a film programmer and Criterion collector, but it took me this long to join. I haven't explored it fully yet, but love what I've seen so far- especially the design projects! There are some amazing covers out there, and for films I'd love to see on Criterion. Which ones did you do? I will make some mock-up covers for Spy Vibe soon and post them on my blog/website and The Auteurs. Hi Kimberly

As for the lack of comments, my own blog is pretty comment-less as well lately. Whatcha gonna do? I've been tempted to remove the comment option on my blog and may have to soon due to my upcoming move and other obligations. Right now I don't have the free time to respond to comments left on my older posts or comment on other blogs so I feel a little bad about that. Removing the comment option here would probably make life easier. Peter - Now if I can just get you on Twitter all will be right with the world!

You talked me into it. I joined even though I feel ambivalent about Criterion, and I feel like I'm a wandering ronin in the world of bloggers based on the comments I get. Yeah, OK.

I'm not sure why you find The Auteurs a "clique" but couldn't that criticism be leveled at any web forum or community film site? I don't personally have much time for chat forums, etc. but I enjoy a good amount of the content at The Auteurs. It also seems that the new TCM fan site has copied or "borrowed" some of their ideas from The Auteurs, which seems a bit odd to me. But I think it's obvious that The Auteurs has a lot to offer cinephiles right now including free films to watch. And lastly, since you've obviously just joined the TCM forum (today?) I find your enthusiasm for it a little suspect. But I think there's plenty of room for different film sites and considering the multitude of choices that are available right now, film fans have plenty to choose from. VJESCI - Really?

The site is really impressive and has a lot of potential. I recommend giving it a try. You can also use it in association with Twitter &amp; Facebook. David - No need to thank me, David! I'm really grateful for all the news &amp; information you provide the online film community. And <a href="http://cinebeats.blogsome.com/2007/07/31/michelangelo-antonioni-1912-2007/">3 cheers for Antonioni</a>! It's so nice to see his work being passionately defended on the forum. I never tire of his films. They seem to grow richer every time I watch them.

Same goes for me; and of course, it was almost exactly three years ago... Sigh. Many thanks, Kimberly - and my heart skips a beat hearing that Antonioni’s one of your favorite directors!
