Arlong Park Movie Nights

[Galaxy 9000]

Welcome to Movie Nights, where forum members come together to watch movies new and old, good and bad, and themed and non themed. Every Saturday night at 6 P.M. EST, a new movie is streamed, as voted by members of the forum, and discussed live between forum members in a chatroom. What happens the next Saturday? The same thing! Along with the standard polls, there will be a poll for the theme for the next month during the middle of the previous month, which will determine the type of movies that are allowed to be nominated for that month.

Things to know
You do not need to have watched the movie recently to join in on the discussion! If you feel that you have adequete knowledge about the movie, or are even interested in watching it, and just want to hear a few opinions, feel free to post your lingering thoughts or your questions about the movies, and I'm sure people will be more than willing to discuss with you and answer you.

Current Events: Voting for the September theme.

[Huschel]

I'm intrigued.

[Deviant_Mugen]

As long as you switch to a site that permits the lowering of quality (unlike the one you used tonight), I'll definitely take part.

As for movies, I'll need to mull it over before tossing out a suggestion...

[RobZilla]

[J-Sack]

I'd be interested depending on what day and when this was planned for.

I already do a movie night with friends every other Wednesday (this week being a meet week).

My first nomination... Brazil

[TLC]

Big movie buff so I'd love this. Let's start off with something batshit entertaining. Vampire's Kiss.

[Wooden_Giraffe]

Oh I'd definitely be up for this. Just promise me that we can have a Sean Connery themed night.

[KaizokuJinbei]

I'd be alright with this. The Librarians Trilogy would be my first choice.

[Wagomu]

My first nomination... Brazil

Oooooh. I support this!

I nominate the one, the only ZARDOZ.

Oh I'd definitely be up for this. Just promise me that we can have a Sean Connery themed night.

You may not fully get your wish, but you could get ZARDOZ.

[Galaxy 9000]

I'd be interested depending on what day and when this was planned for.

Hmm, well the best day for a lot of people would probably be weekends. Either Friday or Saturdays are likely the best times, but if a good majority of people chime in for a different day, that'd work too.

As for when we can start doing this, I'd say we should take nominations until up to this Friday/Saturday, have a poll that lasts until next Friday/Saturday morning, and also have nominations for the second week of movies open up.

In outline form...

January 23rd/24th (Friday/Saturday) - Nominations for the first movie close, poll begins, nominations for the second movie begins.
January 30th/31st (Friday/Saturday) - Poll results for the first movie are in, and the winner is streamed on one of the nights. Poll for the second movie begins.
etc

There's probably a better way of doing the format though, so if anybody has a better idea, let me know!

Oh I'd definitely be up for this. Just promise me that we can have a Sean Connery themed night.

That'd definitely be a lot of fun to do at some point! Maybe for all intents and purposes, for now, we should stick to individual nights for the first few just to see how this goes?

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

I'd be alright with this. The Librarians Trilogy would be my first choice.

I'd assume you'll nominate the first of the trilogy for the first choice?

I've added all the nominations to the first post (along with their IMDB link), but if I somehow got the wrong movie, let me know.

the first one yes. For reference the first one is Quest for the Spear

[Wooden_Giraffe]

You may not fully get your wish, but you could get ZARDOZ.

Oh goody, this saves me the trouble of nominating one this go round.

[Outerspec]

I'm down for this. If we could do the movie viewing on a weekend night that'd be ideal. People who can't make it could watch the movie on their own and join the discussion here later. If nominations are still open I'd like to nominate the underappreciated Devil's Double.

Yeah, I'd never expect everybody to join the stream. That's why we'd basically have a week to discuss the movie before moving on to the next.

Added your nomination to the first post (and your post reminded me to put the schedule up there, so people know when this first round closes).

[Nami]

Great Idea!

Unfortunately it will be hard for the european people to take part of it cuz of stupid timezones :<
But I'd try it!

[benjamminbrown]

Holy moly !

[TLC]

Yeah, if it's done like at six or seven pm American time, it would translate to around midnight or one am so that would be better for Europeans I think?

[Galaxy 9000]

Yeah, around that time range is the plan. Maybe a little earlier if the movie is a longer one though.

[Keo2309]

I kind of don't want to bother nominating anything because... ZARDOZ.

I do wonder though, when you say host a streaming thing, is that like chat or video?

I'll be streaming the movie to a website, but the website has chat capabilities.

There's also an IRC chat room that can be used for the live discussion.
