Devin's E-mail, because it has questions.

Hey everybody! Leave comments!

Also we were thinking maybe "Awesome Sets" (or some clever-er title) for the next theme... three beautiful location sets, (outdoors and urban) and three convincing stage sets. What do you think?


So a couple things i was thinking of before we get into the next movie night.

What is the clever title for this movie run?
Some that i was thinking of were:

After the Bombs, Came... Japanese Films of the 50's!

No Best Foreign Film Award Needed for... Japanese Films of the 50's!

Yeah i know these are kind of long, but at least they have more flare than...Japanese films of the 50's (yawn).

Also i was thinking it would be cool to do games of sorts before the movie. (We tend to do 6 degree's after the movie.) For next movie night i was thinking everyone could make a list of "who would you cast if America made a shity remake of Rashomon?" Yeah? No? Something thing fun to go from one night to the next? Think it over.

Also I like the idea of someone introducing the movie, kind of like what i did at Rashomon. It doesn't have to be an intro like Altman or anything, but some bit of trivia or whatever. Hell we could have more than one person do an intro too. Yeah? No? Think it over.

One other thing i was thinking of was we should do a rotation of who chooses the theme. So if i think of one, i cant use another until everyone has made one. Then everyone could submit suggestions for what movies should be in the next theme. And then we all vote on all the films submitted and the top 6 go into the theme. Yeah? No? Think it over.

Well that's all i got right now.

See everyone on Thursday!

Post the First

We've successfully concluded the first of what should be many many nights of movie-watching, movie-bashing, six-degrees-of'ing and general cinematic camaraderie.

If you missed the first night this is how it works:

A) We decide on a theme (could be a genre of movie or a loose theme that ties them all together. serious, wacky, whatever).
B) We pick 6 films within that theme.
C) We watch them over the course of 2 weeks. Monday, Thursday and Sunday are our proposed nights.

Then we talk about what we saw, try to learn something and everyone is welcome to post to the blog or comment. Keeping a record of our discourse is definitely a really important part of the Society so if you got somethin' to say, by all means do so! Everyone won't be at every movie night so this is a good way for everyone to catch up as well. You all will be able to both comment and start a blog but it will be easiest if we stick to just one blog per movie, k?

By Sunday we hope to have an official name, at which point the blog address will most likely change. So everybody think of something good. As is custom in our group the funnier, snootier and more obscure the better!
