I'd say that putting it under .publish is probably the best place to
stick it. I think .publish has been pretty well pinned down as the best
place for photography techniques. It's also a place acceptable to
announce web pages (though it's hard to reach the right audience that
way). I'd say that pointers to movies to go look at belong in .announce,
the appropriate .theme, .general, or .fun. Perhaps lugnet.publish.movies
could be added as a place to cross-post to make it easy for folks who
just want to find movies. Adding .publish.photo-and-movie-techniques
would be good to make a more obvious place to discuss technique (most of
which will be common between photography and movies such as lighting and
arrangement).
I don't think there's much of a need for a group to discuss the Studio
theme as a theme.
