Making friends and influencing people, #BelieveInFilm style.

I really, really hate film rebranding/repackaging. It's just an utter scam.

A screenshot of an advert - sorry, "sponsored post" - on Facebook for Analogue Wonderland. They're asking if people have seen these "Strange and unusual" films. My comment? "A lot of these aren't unusual - some of them you're selling for much cheaper prices in their original forms. The FPP Mummy you're advertising here for £15 is literally just Fomapan 400 with a £8.50 gullibility markup. And that's an £8.50 markup based on your own prices for Fomapan 400 - I can save an extra quid per roll by shopping somewhere else!" I wonder how long that stays up before someone at Analogue Wonderland deletes it.

@Gargron@mastodon.social my favourite is when you see people (mostly bloggers, it must be said) praising one film while trashing another, seemingly completely oblivious that it's the exact same film stock with different branding.
