Note to Editors

Per WP:BLOGS – "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications."
Not every film released in the past and today is reviewed by a mainstream media source (such as The New York Times) or website (such as Deadline Hollywood). Sometimes the only reviews are found in niche publications and blogs by film experts.

In 2010, Film Comment published a list of film blogs: "The Top Film Criticism Sites: An Annotated Blog Roll".

Listed (and linked) in alphabetical order, these are the film blogs in the Film Comment article (some URLs changed since the article was published, while some blogs are no longer active):

What about Homicidal?

I think perhaps the William Castle film Homicidal should be included. But I don't feel I should unilaterally insert it. Vardavas (talk) 04:59, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's worth putting up there. ElowynEggEater (talk) 04:12, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actor's gender?

Given the rise in awareness of cis actors playing trans characters, and the associated harms that come from cis men playing trans women specifically – see for example Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen – would it make sense to add a column identifying if the actor was known to be trans or what their gender is? It seems relevant. 24.141.118.159 (talk) 01:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, perhaps, or we could do something like the List of autistic fictional characters page, and note specific actors who are trans, as going through the page this morning (only going to the people who have pages on here) only finds the following as trans and playing trans characters in films noted on this page:

There are likely even more among those entries which list names of actors, but these actions have no biography pages on here, as they have been deemed as non-notable, unfortunately. Historyday01 (talk) 14:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"The character is trans coded but not declared as such in the film"

Really? Entire article's not encyclopedic. CounterNationalist (talk) 01:00, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
