EWB Film Club

[Jimmy]

Okay, so there seems to be as much interest in film as ever right now. I ran one of these back a couple of months back and it was quite good until I stopped doing it. My schedule isn't crazy at the moment, so I could definitely do some sort of EWB watch-a-long thing.

But how would people wanna do it? The same as last time where one member picks 5 films and then we vote? Or should we do some kind of theme, like a film a decade, or A-Z. Kind of open to suggestions but I think it'd be good fun to get this going again, even if there's only like 3-5 of us.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I'm in Jimmy! And I don't care how we do it. Or choose the films.

[King Ellis]

Would you like me to come and eventually kill this one too?

[Jimmy]

If could, that'd be great!

[Benjamin]

Bringing this back would be awesome. Doesn't matter how we choose it, either!

Although, of course, we'd need to ban Ellis from this one, just to be safe.

[DFF]

I can't guarantee I'll be free, but if I am I'll join in. :-)

[livid]

I'm in, if only because I need to seriously up my total of movies seen in 2014.

[Your Mom]

I'm watching tons of movies anyway so why not?

[Liam]

Yeah, go on then.

[Walker]

I'll be up for this again.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I'm intrigued, but doubt I'll be able to keep up. Sounds a good idea though.

[Rich]

I'll play

[Jimmy]

Added a poll to decide how we're gonna do this.

[Benjamin]

I selected the way we use to do it, thought it gave everyone more flexibility. I'd probably end up watching all the five options, anyway

A-Z is interesting, but not sure how it'll work out.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I picked Director/Actor, seems nice and broad, and it gives the chance for reviews on multiple films at the same time, which others can then look at if they like the sound of it.

[DFF]

I went with actor/actress/director too. It'll make it easier for peeps to get ahold of stuff and, as JCB said, we can give reviews on multiple films at the same time.

That said, all of the choices have merit and seem fine

[Jimmy]

My only fear with that one is that we all end up watching different films and no one really discusses anything. But it does give the possibility for people to watch more than one if they fancy it.

[Jimmy]

Well, basically everyone has already voted so let's get this underway.

Liam choose an actor or director.

[Liam]

Why me? >_>

[Benjamin]

Best current username, obviously.
