If this is goin' strong in a few weeks, we'll make a board for it. Fun idea.
Great idea BDA! Just wondering, if its a movie you've seen before, is it a requirement that you re-watch it for the purposes of the club, or can you just dive in and discuss?

At that point it's up to you. This whole thing started cause I A) Wanted to start finding new movies I hadn't heard of and B) Wanted to start watching all those ones I've been meaning to
So your choice.
Thanks for setting this up, BDA! It's a terrific idea. I'd been thinking about something similar, but don't have the time at the moment to really do the organization/cheerleading.
Here's a suggestion for the proposals: This maybe could get a little unwieldy, but what about when you suggest your movie, you write something (perhaps really briefly) about why you picked it? Even if it's just "always been meaning to see it", maybe say a little something about *why* you want to see it, what attracts you to it, what your expectations are, etc.? Especially if it's something a little non-mainstream, it'll give people some idea of where you're coming from on it.
If that's maybe too much to ask given that most people's suggestions won't get picked, maybe after the movie is officially selected, the proposer does the above in a separate post to signpost and kickoff the discussion? Maybe a brief intro if it's a film they know well or just "Always been meaning to see it because I've heard XYZ and think ABC about it" if it's new to them?
Guess it's time to watch Evil Dead then!
I love this idea, BDA.
I might not have the chance to watch this coming film, but hope to jump in soon ![]()
Yah, I mean the thinking was to put your suggestion with your first post about the movie to drive interaction and keep the randomly picked movie within the group of people who are interacting and talking.
But it's not a huge deal we all kinda know each other round here, I think we can pretty easily figure out where to send the angry mob if someone isn't playing in the spirit of things ![]()
And I like that idea Teague, I will add it to the main post.
In terms of the description, I'll leave that one up to the individual. The whole point of randomly choosing one, is that you never know what's going to come up next, just that it's something someone in the group wantyed us all to watch. So /personally/ I would say I like it without any spoilers whatsoever, even just the description. Just knowing one of you thinks it's worth watching is enough, and the rest will be a surprise. But that's just me.
I'm in too.
Also, about the suggestion thing, just look at the episode suggestions board. It's not exactly clean.
I suggest people suggest movies that are reasonably available. If it's streaming somewhere, it will make a big difference in people's ability to see it and participate.
I made a graphic and put it in the banner. Wanna give this thing as fair-a-shake at getting some attention as possible.
I've seen Evil Dead 2, but I don't remember seeing the original, so I'm up for this.
I'll see if I can come up with an efficient and manageable way to link some kind of publicly-editable document (since I'm sure we're fine with the honour-system here) and a random-number generator, too.
I looked up this week's movie...sorry guys. I don't have the stomach for that kind of movie. I'll have to wait for the next one. If that disqualifies my choice from the lottery I understand.
Fantastic idea.
I'm so in, but things are pretty busy at the moment (first week of new job) so I hope it's ok to join the club in the second week.
