=B4s (sic) sugestion is a very good one. If anyone does not
like a specific debate, just refrain from opening the messages having those
specific subjects...

     yeah, right!!!

     i'm reminded of that great bumper sticker  . . . the one that reads:

     IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I DRIVE,  GET OFF THE SIDEWALK


          the people who look to this list for discussions of film theory
      should certainly not be the ones who have to get off the sidewalk . . .THE
     point of this list is film theory, and if you wanna talk about other stuff
     there are lotsa other places to do it . . . and, by the way, joe
campbell--whom
     i admire a great deal--does NOT count as film theory, even if he may be
     USED FOR film theory . . . if someone out there wants to develop a
     thread about the way in which mythic figures come to play roles in
     the imagination that creates films or responds to them, that would be
     great---actually a very important theoretical issue . . . but PLEASE
     talk about the way the stuff connects to film theory . . . a list of
     your favorite people ain't worth crap . . . and if you're really not sure
what
     the hell film theory is in the first place, why not pick up a copy of MAST
&
     COHEN and read an essay or two before turning this into a glorified
     fanzine for poseurs
