Count me in.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

how about films alty doesn't like

u voted against themes so your opinion should be disregarded

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Oh don't, we'll end up watching fucking In Bruges like a set of fucking students.

 

[Craig]

Bringing the deadline for participants forward, folk are welcome to join throughout though. Will enter the members and categories into a randomiser this evening.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

democracy for all

#ian4filmclubmod

 

[smat]

I like the excitement of a randomiser.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

ok well let's throw some big words no-one really understands into the theme mix

existensial
post-modern
objectivism
esoteric

 

[lordofthepies]

u voted against themes so your opinion should be disregarded

i was just scared. i'm excited about themes now.

i'm not gonna change my vote though.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

i have a shot roulette wheel if every theme is assigned a corresponding liquer or spirit i could just go to town on it and assign the categories for the next year or so

 

[SALTIRE]

Oh don't, we'll end up watching fucking In Bruges.

Which is a good film btw.

 

[SALTIRE]

Hitchcock films ftw.

 

[Stevencc]

Official Film Club rule #1 - No nominations for Braveheart.*

*I refuse to comment on whether Saltire's recent arrival into the club had any bearing on my impromptu decision to draw up this rule.

 

[City169]

I'm interested except the choosing a film part

 

[Jockney]

Jockney will do this keenly for a week, become more reticent over time, before shunning the Club with a long period of silence which embarrasses the other members so much they feel forced to remove him, with great sadness.

Have I been booted from the wechat club? It's only been 9 months: be patient.

 

[Craig]

Results are in, apologies in advance if you didn't get a theme you wanted.

I've decided a fortnightly theme, rather than monthly, for two reasons. There are two weeks left in March and I don't reckon we want to spend too long on any one theme, it also works quite nicely with the amount of interest parties/themes suggested (almost).

Theme 1 - American disaster films of the 90's
Week 1 - 16th March to the 22nd - ZianfrancoGoal
Week 2 - 23rd March to the 29th March - last request

Theme 2 - Sports comedies
Week 1 - 30th March - 5th April - Jockney
Week 2 - 6th April - 12th April - Stevencc

Theme 3 - Artificial Intelligence
Week 1 - 13th April - 19th April - Benito
Week 2 - 20th April - 26th April - Martino C. Fabritius

Theme 4 - Russ Meyer
Week 1 - 27th April - 3rd May - JoeJoeJoeJoe
Week 2 - 4th May - 10th May - lordofthepies

Theme 5 - Commie bashing 80's action
Week 1 - 11th May - 17th May - SALTIRE
Week 2 - 18th May - 24th May - Aber gas

Theme 6 - Organised crime
Week 1 - 25th May - 31st May - Cheese & Biscuits
Week 2 - 1st June - 7th June - smat

Theme 7 - Alfred Hitchcock
Week 1 - 8th June - 14th June - Craig
Week 2 - 15th June - 21st June - Dr Mantis Toboggan

Theme 8 - Belgium
Week 1 - 22nd June - 28th June - Cas
Week 2 - 29th June - 5th July - Smudge

So as not to flood the thread and also so we can keep the nominated films under wraps until their time comes if you could PM me your selections that'll be great, and I'll do a little C&B inspired type up for each film.

 

[Craig]

I'm interested except the choosing a film part

No worries, if you want to select a film in future let me know.

 

[Smudge]

Can I play? Even if my choice has to be Belgium and Cas will obvs nick In Bruges forcing me to actually have a think?

 

[Craig]

Done.

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

might be worth keeping this as a general admin thread and starting a new thread each month for film/theme discussions and the like

 

[ZianfrancoGoal]

Apologies I forgot all about this. I'll tell ye later today

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

way to get into the spirit of things there buddy

i move for impeachment

 

[ZianfrancoGoal]
