Movie of the week.

[How2PK]

Yes, again a movie topic for the "music and movie" forum. This one isn't that complicated though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My idea is that we pick a new movie every week and we all try to watch it. Then we try and set up a decent discussion about the movie, which not only covers "I liked the story" but will also look into further details such as the technical sides of the movie, the score, acting, atmosphere, details etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leave your name if you are interested, I'll make a complete list of people who want to participate in this per week. :)

Go on then, im always up for watching something new. So long as its not some completely obscure european movie ill probs be able to get it from the rental place. :D

Would be nice if we did try to see a "arthouse" title from time to time...But then it would be good if we'd start with the more 'mainstream' arthouse titles such as Goodbye Lenin!, Amelie, maybe a Von Trier etc. they're relativly easy to get. :) It would be very nice if we could keep up some variation in it, that we don't do a movie from the 90's every week, but that we also cover the older hollywood classics.

[Mercifull]

Yeah Daan but you need to understand that arthouse is really hard to get hold of in England. We have Blockbuster rental places and thats it. We dont have independants like you do in NL. Stuff like Amelie is ok but just be prepared for some of ure chouces to get no other views than yourself ;)

[Nathaninch]

I like the idea. How would we go about picking a movie each week?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OT: You're just loving this new board eh PK? You are totally in your element. :P

Oh, yea, but the set-up isn't that I am the one that picks the movies of course, and of course I won't go name old itallian cinema from the early 40's or something. :P

I was thinking about voting, or pick a random user from the discussion of the previous movie. Maybe we can appoint a select group of people with different tastes and some knowledge to set out monthly 'course', then change people every month or something. And once in a while we could link things to the director topics. I'm just giving out ideas, of course. What are you thinking of?

Yea, I really like this new forum! Gonna be great! :D

[SAGE]

Nice Idea, Loving this new section. Would be really great to have a real good discussion with everyone seeing the same movie in the same time frames so we all know what we are talking about

[paul_wilson]

like a bookclub style thing! sounds sweetness. :D

[Mr_Putter]

No...Please not the arthouse...Blockbuster only has the most mainstream of the main. And I can't get across town I don't have my liscence :(.

:o You don't have movies such as Amelie and Good Bye Lenin! at blockbuster? We've got a very mainstream orientated blockbuster type of thing here called "Movie Max" and they even have those! Amele and GBL are very mainstream.

I think a week is too small a time frame. Maybe fortnightly to monthly. If we get too much content in that time then perhaps cut it back to a week ;)

Yea, that would be good to start with, not too enthousiastic. Like a movie every two weeks or one a month. If it is a real succes and people want more we could always cut back to a week or something. :)

I like the idea :) ,but I think every week is not a good idea but after 2 or 3 weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think everybody is going to get a movie in a week for a forum.

[How2PK]

Yea, one a week might be too much. I'm very enthousiastic, and since I watch about 10+ movies a week myself, but not everybody sees that many movies. One each two weeks or one a month would be good to start with, I think. :)

Should this start after the GME is over? :)

That would be good, then we won't have a dosen things running at the same time. :) I think it would be great if we could have do things together, rather than individual, you know, get to know eachother a bit, make up something nice and friendly. :)

yeah, lets wait till after the gme. you know im in of course 8) . i think a good way to pick them would be, well in this topic. we could start planning right now. if worse comes to worse with the arguing, you made up the idea, and you know enough to be able to pick them (maybe not unbiasedly :P ), and if everybody hates the decision then you are to blame :D .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so basically what i mean is: i say "i think we should should watch donnie darko the first week"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then someone else says "no, thats a stupid idea, lets watch pulp fiction the first week"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then everyone gives their input, and either daan, since he started the topic edits his post and makes a decision based on the discussion (we are all adults here, we can agree to something) what movie to watch. alternatively, a mod could create a new post (stickified, ofcourse :wink: ), and clear it out everyweek. at the begining of the week, we watch the movie we want. we discuss the movie for about 4 or 5 days, and the last two we start deciding next weeks. the idea of not everyweek, maybe everyother week might work, but it might make it too long and boring to wait. well just have to expirement with that. every other week might actually be a good thing, now that i think about it. give 10 or 11 days for discussion (so those who cant watch it right away have time to), and then a few days to decide the next movie. anyways, thats my thoughts.

I think it's a good idea, but we shouldn't just end the discussion after 4 or 5 days, we should let it run until it becomes repetitive or it looses activeness

[How2PK]

Alright, we came to the conclusion that this would be good if the GME competition had ended. The competition has ended, Lord of the Rings has won the competition. So it seems right to give this topic a small bump. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shall I start making an OP for it? Or?
