Movie night, anyone?
 

I always loved the event of getting together to watch a movie with friends and talk about it afterwords. Or during. It depends on the film but I digress.

We've tried a few movie nights in the past, and I'd like to try and bring that back. Once a week, maybe twice depending on schedules, we pick a movie at random and play it on a special player where everyone can watch it at the same time with a chat open to talk to each other during the film or after.

It'll be like the movie topic that Sculpt created except instead of watching a movie at our own leisure and commenting about it after, we'll be doing it in real time. Opinions on what movies and day/time we should do it are welcome. As default the movies will probably be vintage or classic types unless there are demand for others. Day and time likely a weekend since that's when most availability is.

If you don't think I'm seriously serious about this, I already have a room made and our first movie picked out.

Just FYI.

I like this idea. When Chrono did this a couple years ago. We watched while Skyping. That was fun, too.

Great! I hope a few of you join, even if it's a movie you've seen or don't particularly care for, just come for the conversation. I think it'd be a good opportunity to get to get to know HDC better. 8)

For our first movie I was thinking Rosemary's Baby (1968). Because I have not seen it yet and I know at least one of you finds it blasphemous. ::big grin::
But I'm open for suggestions and/or comments on what to watch.

For when to watch I'm considering Friday at 10 (EST), again let me know your opinions. If there is a better time for everyone I'll be glad to accommodate the best I can. I'm aware there are different timezones to consider so I'll just leave this link here in case anyone needs it. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

I considered Skype, but the site I have set up for the movie has a chat box where you can set a name without an account. It'll be less of a hassle I think.

(I do have a skype though if anyone wants it. It's my facebook name with a "." instead of a space.)

Reminder about movie night!

I'd like to start tomorrow. I'll post a reminder and link before air time, I hope some of you will be there, if not, well at least I'll have one more classic off my list of must sees. ::big grin::

What time?

BTW, LOVE your avatar!!! ::love::

Movie in 10-ish minutes!! Sorry I'm posting so late, but I just got home. Hope to see one or two of you there. ::smile::

Tonight's feature: Rosemary's Baby


In about ten minutes actually. I'll try to hit you up on Facebook.

Thanks! I have such a soft spot for Roddy. ::embarrassment::

This is a wickedly grand idea!

For next week I'm considering Ginger Snaps, unless enough of you come up with another option and agree to it. That'll be Friday at 10pm (EST), 1/6/17.

I knew you would approve. ::wink::

Also thank you, Deadbeat for dropping by for last night's movie! It was a fun time and you were kind of my guinea pig to see if I could pull this off, and it went without a hitch despite all my scrambling to get things together last minute! If you have any suggestions to improve on next time please let me know! ::smile::

Good day everyone! It is currently Friday where I am, and that means we are nearing the hour for movie night!!


When: 1/6/17 @ 10pm (EST)

Tonight's feature film: Ginger Snaps


I hope to see some of you there! 8)

Would love to but I'm in the wrong country for this! 10pm est = 4am here! ::shocked:: A shame. Enjoy the movie guys!

I'll try my best to stay awake! ::big grin::

I'm old, I'm usually in bed by 9:30

Would you guys like to try and work a different time? No point in having it so late if no one can make it.

Movie in less than five minutes! My net is being a little buggy, but I'm going to try and at least get started. Should play fine once it's going.



Tonight's feature film: Ginger Snaps

I just noticed Rosemary's Baby (our movie from last week) is in the history tab under the movie. I assume tonight's movie will go there too if you'd like to watch it (or last week's) but can't make the live showing. 8)
