From a BAFTA voter's blog:

The whole experience left me worried that the film industry is on its way to aping the music industry in its belief that anybody who is interested in experiencing your work is a potential criminal and ought to be treated like one. If this attitude works as well for the film industry as it has for the music industry, it will be no time at all before I need to start looking for another line of work.

But hassling people who love movies--be we awards show voters or just ordinary moviegoers--is easy, because they know where to find us. In short, the studios are looking for their keys where the light is best, even if it's miles away from where they dropped them.

Wait? Did I call myself a cinephile. Yup. But what about that rant a while ago? Easy, I'm a hypocrite and deluded. After playing Scene It with some friends, I realised that I was a cinephile. Not super hardcore... but I do know lots about movies. I was able to recognise movies I never seen simply by being super-deductive (ie having abused IMDB for the last 8 years or so).

Stuff to come I guess.
