Movie night.

[Zorlin]

That being July 31^st?

...

May I ask why this is so?

Sorry, fixed. Saturday February 6th.

EDIT: Ah, hell.

I'm sorry guys, I need to put this on hold for the short term. I've just started at school and I've got some major stuff to sort out - I'm thinking we'll have a showing of The Truman Show in two weeks at the "usual" time (which is now Saturday) given nothing else comes up. If someone else is able to take over in the interim, please contact me or sean.

There will be two showings of the musical version of The Wedding Singer on Sunday, May 23 at 2pm and 7pm EST.

#xkcd-hugs and all

This is it - the official grave-dig that revives movie night. I'm planning to have movie night within the next two weeks and I'd like to get suggestions as to what movie we'll be watching - anything that has hit DVD is fair game.

Keep in mind that its not set in stone, as usual. Reliability of movie night managed to get lower once I started running it, and I'd like to carry that tradition on through its revival.

[also, we're back, bitches. <3]
[nb: you're not actually bitches, its just kind of a traditional saying that I'm calling traditional despite having never used it before. expect more news soonish.]
[nb2: soonish is measured in valve time.]

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Or maybe The Truman Show at last.

[Zorlin]

Scott Pilgrim vs the World at some point soonish (2 weeks Valve-time!)

[Walter.Horvath]

Scott Pilgrim vs the World at some point soonish (2 weeks Valve-time!)

Oh, hell yes. That movie was amazing.

[dumbzebra]

Watch "Requiem for a dream and count how fast the party crashes.

[sje46]

Scott Pilgrim!

I would watch that!

Tell me a couple days ahead, B, when you're showing that.

I want to show something scary too. Night of the Living Dead is completely legal to show. Also, has anyone seen Marble Hornets? That's scary as hell, if a bit amateur (it's a Youtube series).

TRUMAN SHOW
I second Truman Show
Benji, if we don't play Truman Show you must hate me ):

[Thesh]

I'd go for truman show, but would prefer something less well known. Motorpsycho, anyone?

[sje46]

Hmm, I've never seen a Russ Meyer movie before. If I had to see one, though, it would be Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, because I want to see how Ebert wrote movies.

[Thesh]

I would be up for that; haven't seen it in a while.

[tojosan]

Totally love this idea. Seems to be happening lots on Twitter as well these days. Only old schoolers know about #IRC chat.

Princes Bride would still be my #1 choice here. Best quotes.

[Zorlin]

So, gentlemen and ladies...



Here we are.

Schedule:
February 12 @ 8pm EST: Scott Pilgrim vs the World (with hugs given to everyone who *buys* it and shows a receipt)
February 19 @ 8pm EST: Moon
February 26 @ 8pm EST: The Truman Show

Post with suggestions for future consideration - movies will be picked based on availability, age (older is better, usually) and popularity.

[Zorlin]

Shameless bump:

Movie night is happening in about 40 minutes @ 5pm PST/8pm EST! Be there!
We're watching Scott Pilgrim vs the World - you just need a browser and ideally an adblocker ;P
(block *.doubleclick.net if you can)

http://xkcd.raptorswithhats.com to watch!

[sje46]

...please have a test run next time? Everyone left because of the sound issues.

[Zorlin]

Situation was somewhat unavoidable. PM me if you need clarification as I don't really want to publicly mention why.

Next week all the issues should be resolved.

I'll be having another, less-official showing of Scott Pilgrim vs the World tomorrow (SUNDAY @ 8pm EST) which will hopefully go smoother, and help me to iron out the issues with sound on the new machine. (testing starts at 4:30)

[Zorlin]

Alright, things may take another 45 mins or so to get started because of needed time for encoding. Sorry about that!

EDIT: we're up and running! come chill with us because we're awesome!

[Zorlin]

Vanity-bump for Moon @ 8pm EST on Saturday

[Zorlin]

MOON showing now-ish (or when we get a couple people)! Come on in to watch:

http://xkcd.raptorswithhats.com

[but if we don't get anyone, we'll probably cancel it. bleh.]

[SurgicalSteel]

All I'm seeing is a slide show. Do I need to do anything but go to the webpage?

[Zorlin]

Sorry, we kinda killed it. We'll possibly show it again tomorrow if people post here wanting us to

[Mumpy]

I saw moon and thought it was pretty good, but it's all about the short movie that comes on the moon DVD. It's called something like whistling, and was really good. I would definitely recommend a watch of moon though, even if I can't join in. (Stupid country, being in the wrong timezone)

[Zorlin]

I'm considering moving the showing of The Truman Show to next week.

Anyone badly want to watch it besides The Inevitable Barbara (hugs and <3 to you)?

Never mind. Not only wrong thread, wrong section.
