[log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] 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.
