The Spinning Image
Description edit
From editing the British cult fanzine Invasion of the Sad Man-Eating Mushrooms (which won Fanzine of the Year twice running) through to publishing Revolutions (the UK’s first laserdisc fanzine) with Steve Langton I’ve certainly moved around a bit. Revs only managed a couple of issues before it seemed a natural progression to move it to the web – where it stayed for a few years until 2000 when the idea for The Spinning Image came along. This was developed and finally open to the public in 2001, later taking a radical redesign in 2002.
The Spinning Image was different. This time, rather than me being a complete martyr, constantly trying to keep up to date with the reviews which had been emailed in (which was a job and a half) I made the site completely maintainable by the users. This is great because apart from relieving a lot of the admin headaches for me, it also means the site can grow without me… I log in and don’t know what’s new – just like any other visitor.
Darren Jones (Site Editor): - I’m a thirty something (for a while anyway) movie fan from London, but am now living in Norfolk. I’m the owner and creator of The Spinning Image. I work as an analyst/programmer and web developer, which luckily puts me in good stead for creating the website in my spare time. Unfortunately I no longer have time to write for the site myself, but still, we've a team of much better reviewers than myself who are more than fit for the job.
