[Angele]

So how are we going to do this? Are we going to pick for each other or just watch any 5 movies we want?

 

[Socket]

This looks like my Netflix queue.

 

[Goonergal]

Okay, in the chat thread a few of us have decided to have a monthly movie review.

So this is how it goes

-We will collectively choose a film that nobody has seen + a recomendation from other person.

-The limit for watching these 2 films is 2 weeks. Then we will review the 2 films in this thread.

-For the following 2 weeks, we will do the same again.

-This month the 2 set films will be classic movies. The 2 recommendations can be classic or modern.

-This is kind of experiemental, so for the 1st month it will be myself, Marly, Ileana & Angele reviewing. However, after 16th October if anyone else wants to join they will be more than welcome

-Therefore to clarify
We will have 2 movies every 2 weeks=4 a month
2 classic movies + 2 recommendations.

-Myself & Marly will recommend films to each other, as will Ileana & Angele. Each of us should post the films we have already seen to avoid to make recomendations clearer.

Is this all clear? :scratch:

 

[Murkofan]

Don't forget that we're rotating Recommendation Partners every 2 weeks (or is it every month?)

Other than that, I'm clear :kiss:

[Murkofan]

The Exorcist is not at all what it's cracked up to be

So does that mean you and I will be reccing 2 movies to each other, or 4?

Well, it will be 2

 

[Murkofan]

Sorry, I'm bad at math

Looks like we've seen a lot of the same movies. But like Ile said, they're kind of mainstream

 

[Chesty Larue]

Ange's list is going to be small but knowing her she's probably seen the one I was thinking of recommending

 

[Murkofan]

Of course I will be forcing Ange to watch A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back

Ah, but first, my first rec for Beebs: It Happened One Night

 

[Goonergal]

My 1st rec for you Beebs is.....Mullholland Drive. I'm putting you in at the deep end

In that case, I'm off to the video store :wavey:
