Dirty Movie Club 1.0

[Tom]

Well, I think we should try to keep it under a month, definitely. What's the turn around on Netflix?

Also, regarding rewatching movies you've already seen, I think it's probably best that we do, so everything is fresh in our heads, but it is of course up to each individual.

I'll update the first post in this thread with everyone's movie choice and a link to the thread, to try to keep things a bit more organised. I'm also closing the old thread, so all movie club stuff should be posted in here.

For myself it generally goes like this: I send a movie back let's say on Monday, I get an email saying they've received it on Wednesday and another email saying they're sending a new one out, and I get it on Friday. Sometimes there is a lag in delivery, but generally that's the turnaround time (I'm quite a ways from the nearest Netflix center in Denver, so if you actually lived in Denver, you'd probably get a new movie in half the time).

I'd say 2-3 weeks would be the best time frame. I'd shoot for 2 weeks, personally.

OK, so if we said people should try to aim at getting a response posted within 2 weeks, that should be ok?

Let's trial that, and if it proves difficult, we'll extend the window.

(At 2 weeks, we've almost got enough people for a full year of this, hah!)

man i hope i get a chance to add my pick in. i think i'd tune you on to some pretty cool..albeit old..movies.

So I was thinking maybe we should drop our suggestions weekly. Maybe it'll cause a bit of overlap, but it will help offset some of the netflix queue wait that some of you are probably having to deal with. Thoughts?

If we're in agreement, mr. miller can go ahead and post his this weekend

I like this idea, I don't want to wait a year to submit my pick.

[gambit]

I can go for that.

[b.miller]

sweet. so chino's still MIA, huh?

hello-o-o-o?


Well mine is old (but readily available on DVD) so it might take people a while to track it down. therefore, i'm in agreement with the every-week thing. It might make for some picks falling through the cracks because movies will be announced before you have a chance to see the previous, but what the hell.. it's all about recomending movies anyway... as long as you see them at some point.

(i might also lax my own personal code for seeing movies i clearly remember based on how long it's taken for Joe vs. the volcano)

so... this upcoming weekend or should i lay my pick on y'all now?

[Tom]

Go for it now, it's been a week since Strangelet's post.

Woop woop!
