That's right! Let's make a ballyhoo and use JayDee's weapon against him!
Hereby, I officially claim The Arthouse Mafia opened! The elite, the patricians, the exclusive place only for art house lovers!
In order to become a honorable member of The Arhouse Mafia you must fill the form. Before you do this, check if you are eligible by looking at points 1 to 4.
You are eligible if:
1. You have at least five art house films in your TOP 10 of all time. If you are uncertain whether or not a film is art house send me a private message.
2. You watch art house cinema on daily basis. It doesn't necessarily mean watching art cinema every day, though. Just make sure there's a considerable chunk of art in stuff you watch.
3. You seek new experience, metaphysical sensation and catharsis and believe these can be achieved by watching cinema.
4. You are not afraid to broaden your horizons and step out of your movie comfort zone.
If you don't satisfy two or more of these conditions you are not worthy to apply for Arthouse Mafia membership. Go watch some mainstream, plebs.
If you are worthy, then fill the form below and post it as an application in this thread. (comments in <>)
Nickname: <Just simply put your forum name here. Nothing too fancy.>
Reason: <You must have a reason to apply for such a refined group Arthouse Mafia is. What is it?>
about: <Tell me something about yourself. Not about your personal life, dummy. What I wanna know is your movie taste and preferences. How did you get into art house? What do you seek in cinema? What can you give Arthouse Mafia? Elaborate.>
Boolean: <Do you think your taste is refined? Answer YES or NO.>
If: <Is film art, entertainment, both?>
Other: <Do you have something to add?>
If your application is rejected and your taste discarded you can apply for Arthouse Mafia again, but not sooner than one month after rejection. This should give you enough time to catch up with what we call 'pure, real, true cinema'.
If you try to trick us, cheat, deceive or simply lie, e.g. about films you have seen, you will be eternally banned from the halls of Arthouse Mafia. Don't think you can make up your top or bypass any other condition. The Arthouse Gods will know you are not honest and shall punish you.
If your application is accepted the only thing left to do is to take the oath that can be found below:
I, <put your nickname here>,
Bow before the almighty Arthouse Gods and the members of Arthouse Mafia and vow to obey the rules of the organization. I swear to always stand by true, legit and good art cinema. Always condemn the unworthy and mainstream films. Never betray my brothers and sisters. Be honest to them and above all to myself. Always follow the path of enlightment on the way to catharsis. Share my discoveries and likes with other members. Step out my comfort zone and look for new experience in the world of film. Spread the truth and get other people fascinated by cinema.
So do I, <your nick here>.
You don't have to type it manually. You can copy and paste it, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't read it aloud with your right hand raised and really believe in these words.
Once you have been accepted and taken the oath, you are officially a member of Arthouse Mafia. If you have some guilty pleasures don't hide them! Let all of us know about them. It's OK to like mainstream and well-known films as well. Just make sure you still seek the obscure.
