CHARTER
Rec.music.movies is an unmoderated newsgroup welcoming discussion
and information on all aspects of music as it is used in motion
pictures and television, including:
--Film/television score collecting and appreciation, whether it be
serious or casual
--Film/television music history
--Film/television music composers or artists
--Reviews of film music soundtrack releases on CD or LP
--Reviews/discussion of music used in TV series or miniseries
--The aesthetics of the use of music in film and television
--The film/television music industry
Discussion will not be limited to any certain type of music (i.e.,
orchestral, pop-rock, original or adapted); exchanges on ALL types
of music used in motion pictures and television are encouraged.
Have you found a copy of "The Caine Mutiny" LP in your basement and
don't know what to do with it? Who's your favorite film music
composer? What song did you think should have won Best Original
Song at the Oscars? Just what IS "diegetic music," anyway? What's
the name of that song you heard in that movie you just saw? What's
your favorite TV theme song? Are you wondering if your favorite
movie music is out on CD? Which film music CDs do you recommend?
How do you think music should be used in films and on TV?
Rec.music.movies is the place for these questions (and answers).
RATIONALE
Why rec.music.movies?
Rec.music.movies will centralize discussion about film music
collecting and appreciation, subjects which obviously overlap on
both "movies" and "music," but which hitherto have had no obvious
"home" in any existing newsgroup. Those users wishing to discuss
aspects of film music have been scattered throughout several
existing newsgroups for a long time, and the creation of
rec.music.movies would bring all such discussions conveniently
together in one newsgroup. Rec.music.movies will also have the
additional benefit of reducing the number of postings on both
rec.arts.movies and rec.music.classical (which have been most often
used for movie music discussion).
HOW TO VOTE
Send MAIL to: [log in to unmask]
Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing
list, and if your newsreader honors the "reply-to" line. Double-check
the address before sending your ballot.
Your mail message should contain one (and only one) of the following
statements:
I vote YES on rec.music.movies
I vote NO on rec.music.movies
You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome.
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. The
votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge-
ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again.
It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered
correctly.
Each person may vote only once, no matter how many accounts he or she
may have. Also, only one ballot will be accepted from any account, no
matter how many people may share it. If more than one vote is received
from any person or any account, only the last vote received will be
counted.
Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final
voting results list. All ballots received are kept in the UVV archives
(including "cancelled" and invalid ballots). The vote files are made
available to the moderator of news.announce.newgroups on request. They
may also, at the discretion of the UVV, be made more widely available
if there is a controversy concerning the vote.
