    Isn't Ford already registered here?

    There are some great folks at the FSM board who would be fine contributers here, I've even tried to entice a few of them but to no avail ( Tall Guy, Graham Watt, Joan Hue and a few others ).

    EDIT : I see Ford isn't registered here. He was a member at the Andy's ScoreReviews.

    I've been trying to get Tall Guy/Chris here too, as I think he would really fit in with the humour, style etc. (better here than at FSM), but it seems like he has limited time on his computer (largely occupied by his daughter), so he prioritizes that place. Too bad.

    Somehow I think you're right Tim. The magazine will go on with the forum for another year.

    I know some of you are sick of reading about FSM aka "Drama Queens Monthly" controversies (looking at you, Demetris), but I just can't help but be fascinated by them sometimes. And I want to share them here for public amusement. LeHah has been on my ignore list for a long time, but someone quoted what he said in a recent thread about the upcoming DARK SHADOWS/Tim Burton film, and here's how it goes.

    First I said:

    "I have zero interest in checking out the old tv show, but I have LOTS of interest in the upcoming film. Not as a DARK SHADOWS film, but as a BURTON film."

    Then he replied:

    "Translation: I am an asshole and being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and have no personal experience with anything to do with the show or the topic and have nothing to add to this thread outside of the simple pleasures of gently stroking my narcicist ego. Thank you and good night."

    biggrin

    Ah, what would life be without FSM?

    I'm thankful that my FSM log-in issue was solved. Who here, except Alan, still checks out FSM once in a while?

  4. I have a subscription to the magazine, but I've never participated in the forum.

    I have a subscription too but I only occasionally read it! I very much preferred the physical magazine.

  6. I am with you Alan! I don't read it much either. I don't have an e-reader/Kindle and don't really like reading online in my browser, so I mainly scan the score/composers that are included in the issue when it comes out and only read if it's something I'm particularly excited about. I definitely used to read it cover-to-cover when it was the print edition. What a shame!

    I have ALL of the print editions since the very first one-page newsletter in 1990(?) up untill the last one in 2005 (which, as it happens, also included the first part of my own Elfman buyer's guide -- second part in their first online edition). They're very useful for reference and research. But for some reason, I could never justify continuing the subscription with the online version. Maybe something with the notion that online material should be free and available. So there's 16 years worth of material there I've never read. Anything good in those years? smile

  7. Not sure. I have not read much of the stuff.

    For me, I had problems with the technology with some videos or audio content that appeared in the early online issues. That put me off going back regularly since I couldn't access the most interesting things.

    And, with drifting away early on, I just didn't bother being a regular reader. And I never cancelled my subscription.

    So you've just paid for something you've never really used? It reminds me of people (including myself, at times), getting gym subscriptions, only never to use it. It's what we call "support membership" in Norway.

    Yes, I suppose that it is "support membership". But it's a 'cause' that I have a strong connection to and I don't mind contributing in some way to supporting the online version of the magazine. I could think of it as a sort of early Patreon effort?

    A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests I have paid about £900 in subscriptions over the past 16 years or so. I do have an online magazine subscription for work but I rarely access it regularly (it comes out monthly) but there are times when I need full access to it to read articles that I couldn't see otherwise. So, although I don't use it frequently, when I do need it, the access is there.

    The FSM magazine is nothing like that in terms of the necessity for access but it is there if I want it. I just don't feel the need to access it very often (though I did need it when I was trying to find an article from the paper version that detailed the chronological order of the expanded James Bond scores that came out years ago.)

    Maybe my lack of interest in reading the magazine has been an indirect symptom of what I think of the general state of the majority of music being written for film today. There's little of interest stimulating me to seek out more information.

    But that's a pre-formed opinion based on little fact as to what is actually in the magazine.
