The Triple Feature Foundation http://www.triplefeaturefoundation.org Supporting cult and classic cinema on the internet Sat, 12 May 2012 22:27:20 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= The CineCoalition Daily! http://www.triplefeaturefoundation.org/the-cinecoalition-daily/ http://www.triplefeaturefoundation.org/the-cinecoalition-daily/#comments Sat, 11 Dec 2010 23:05:19 +0000 sebastian http://www.triplefeaturefoundation.org/?p=95 Looking for an introduction to the genre cinema world within the Twittersphere? Or don’t you even use Twitter? Fear not, we have just the solution for you. A service called Paper.li allows us to include all the Twitter feeds of our CineCoalition and some others we follow, into a daily digest compiled automatically every 24 hours. The result? The Cine-Coalition Daily! It is steadily improved and although paper.li allows for little customization, most issues are quite an interesting compilation of a day’s worth of happenings on the world wide web of cinema happenings. Give it a try! You can subscribe to it, too. Alternatively, browse previous issues and discover what has been posted in the last days or weeks. We are looking forward to your feedback.

It was about time Robert Rodriguez got a decent fan website. In fact, to our knowledge he didn’t have a proper one ever since a Russian fan page died mysteriously in about 2001. A lack of resources has always stopped Tarantino.info to expand on its still existing Robert Rodriguez corner. We finally decided to go ahead and start a blog with basic information about the mega-talent and report on latest developments. There is also a Facebook page and a Twitter account of Pistolero.

Along with that, everything contemporary that lives in that spirit, cinema that is daring, furious and wild.

Goals: To user synergy effects, and draw visitors to other members of our Coalition through an easy to navigate inter-linking concept.

Step by step we will try to have this stripe (you can see it also at the top of this page) implemented on all the sites of our projects. This inter-linking is what we will refer to as the Cine Coalition, our network of websites about cinema. The idea is to make use of synergy effects, draw visitors to our pages and increase awareness of the interrelation between our websites. In the near future we’re also considering including a more general movie/news blog to our network.

It was started as early as 1999 and has since grown into a huge news platform, wiki-powered knowledge base and huge fan community. It is comprised of a Frontpage, powered by a blogging system for the latest news, a message board for the huge community Forum and a wiki software for the actual Archives. The project is so successful, the director himself reads it and has met its founder and editor twice already. There are also Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and YouTube outlets of the QTA. All other 3FF projects and the 3FF itself have emerged from the success of The QTA.

It is accompanied by a message board. It was started by Sebastian Haselbeck in 2004 and has since grown into the internet’s only comprehensive, searchable and community-edited encyclopedia of its kind. It has brought together genre experts and afficionados from all around the globe, adding to its pages numerous reviews, articles and general information on over 800 movies week after week. Some of its editors have traveled to movie locations in Spain in the summer of 2008. The message boards serve as an opinion and information exchange about the films, locations, available versions, lost material and screenings. American director Quentin Tarantino calls it his favorite website (‘aside from porn”). It uses Facebook and Twitter to reach out to younger audiences, as the films in question disappeared forever from movie theaters in the early 80s.
