I'm quite confident I can recommend a whole bunch of films that a lot of people havent seen, and might even like. I'm personally not interested in nomming masterpieces, because theyre easy to find, and it's not really very challenging.Sorry people kept going on about it starting it and I didn't mean to miss the mark. I thought we'd want to have a film nailed down by the weekend, so we could all err purchase it. I also thought this way would be fairer to everyone, because there will be people who won't get nominated for like 3 months with the amount of people we already have, and then there will be issues like if we chose Mugz and he chose Primer, then there would be no watching of a film that week because we've almost all seen it? I think this democratic way is a way for people to all feel more connected to it and actually watch the film, if you consider that already there are about 10-20 people who want to take part. Limiting the nominations down to 5 seems to have shown that (this week at least) we will end up with at least a few films that most of us haven't seen or wouldn't have seen, that all look pretty interesting and worth a watch.
although I quite like that idea, my PM to Shambles basically covered that, in that I said, as long as we have a guideline of not deliberately choosing a movie 'just to be a dick', it should work fairly well ... and the dick rule will take into account your thoughts about 'universal appeal' ... which I don;t like per se, but understand the reasoning, hence 'just don;t be a dick'Also, I imagine if we nominated PTCH he will make us all watch a film of a guy sat on a toilet for 2 hours or something just because he'd love to fuck us over like that?![]()

don't need to have that 2nd vote and I agree, that makes it laboursome.I fucking will now you've put the idea in my head.
This is starting to annoy me already tbh, I'm going with the vote a person to pick a film shout. If that's really too much of an issue for some reason then we vote a person who then gives us a choice of 3 films, which we further vote on - although that seems like too much voting just to get to one film.
he then made later posts. (well before you posted the thread)I just went off of this plea from Shambles:

because we can easily deal with being able to discuss 2 movies at the same time, because it accomodates a choice for those watching, and people like choice. because you're more than likely to get more people involved with 2 choices. and a poster still gets to do their show and tell thing.It's done now. We've got people & nominations just need a mod-cunt to make a poll & we're off.
I think however this evolves it does need to come down to us all watching the same film. No point having a choice of two or three. Then say half the folk only watch film 1 & half watch film 2, what's the point?
ahh, post 27 and than a crack on. I see.No he didn't, can't you look at the time I started this thread and the time of his posts simultaneously or something? He made the post of hold off 4 minutes after I started this thread, which I started writing at like 6 and then submitted after I finished up a long phone call. I didn't mean to tread on anyone's toes, quite the opposite in fact.
I or 2 films. or poster can choose just 1. I personally would like to give an option, due to foreign content esp. would possibly always just be 1 choice. my give a fuck factor on how these things are usually done is at minus 5. my intent wasn't built on 'how things are usually done', it spawned out of something different to that. irrelevant. bored with discussion ... carry on as this thread intended. it will become obvious if things organically need to be tweaked in the futureWas his choice Naked? I can't be bothered going back to look. I've actually already got that purchased for some reason, can't even remember ever hearing of it. Someone must have recommended in the film thread when I was on a purchasing spree.
Marmz - We wouldn't be discussing 2 or 3 films though. Likely one person would be the only one to watch one film one week so they'd be left out of all discussion etc. It's better to limit it to one film imo, isn't that the way these things are usually done?
I've got some free tickets .. you can get in for freeI have no idea what's going on. Why is it moving so fast? This is how I felt watching OldBoy. Do I need another sleep before I can join the film club?
