[Moderator's note: Would it be worthwhile and/or advisable to link up
rec.arts.cinema with one or more of these mailing lists?  Do messages
sent to the mailing list(s) tend to run along the lines of messages
posted to rec.arts.movies (i.e. lots of trivia, endless repetitions of
frequently asked questions, etc etc)?  Or are the messages moderated
by someone?  Would someone familiar with these mailing lists care to
comment on what they're like? -- MKT]
