Movie Nights!

[brokenmnemonic]

So, a few of us have been holding online movie nights recently. We agree a day and time, settle down in the VidUKon channel of the Vidding discord server, and generally have a blast watching the movie together via whatever means each person has (we've been going largely for movies available widely on Netflix so far) and ignoring the world. It's been really fun for me, and I very much like having something fun to look forward too. Plus, VidUKon people are the best ;) And we started out watching films that are on the list of sources for the VidUKon Group Vidding Workshop, because then it almost counts as homework for the next convention. Honest!

So, we've agreed broadly on the next couple of movie nights - Tuesday and probably Friday of this week; we usually start at 6pm GMT/7pm BST/8pm CET, and that's what I'd suggest we do again, as it seems to be working. We threw around a fair number of possible movies to watch, and decided it was worth polling to see what to watch next, and who's likely to be around. If you'd like to join us, please do! The more the merrier :)

So, polls - on DW, because it's easier than Twitter. Even though I've never made a DW poll before, I think. Uh-oh...

So, the poll's under the cut. If this works for people, I can keep collecting film suggestions and date/time suggestions and put them up on a regular basis. Please come and watch movies! :D

If you've got suggestions of other films you'd suggest for a group watch, please drop me a comment! So far, we've watched Galaxy Quest, Kingsman, and Tomb Raider, but I think everyone would be happy to rewatch one of those again...

Also, if you fancy watching a movie during the day (perhaps on a weekend?), or any other night please do drop me a line - there may be others who'd love to watch with you!

Well, I thought I should give other people a chance, given how many of those above I suggested :P
