I haven't been following this thread much, since I'm not really
interested in subscribing to this new group (although I do think it's
a good idea).  However, I must voice my objection to the name.  I
thought "film" was a better term than "cinema," but in either case, it
belongs under r.a.m.  Also, we already have a "r.a.c", namely,
rec.arts.comics.
