''[[Cinema Bums]]'' is a gag-a-day webcomic by Matthew Domville. It updates on Mondays and Thursdays and can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131028215126/http://www.cinemabums.com/ here]. It features a comedic look at movies, classic and new, splitting strips evenly between those featuring a regular cast of characters and standalone gag-a-day style jokes.
Characters include:
'''Mindy''': The most prominent character, an [[Nerd|enthusiastic]] [[Fan Boy|appreciator]] of many forms of genre entertainment. Typically aware of new films years before general release.
'''Doug''': An guy who [[Lowest Common Denominator|loves all movies]] equally. He's thrilled by the moviegoing experience, from the snacks to the previews, and rarely has a bad word to say about flicks he's seen.
'''Del''': A film academic who loves to [[True Art|interpret and analyze features]]. Demonstrates complete ignorance of contemporary popular movies, but rarely comes off as snobbish.
