More Movie Nights!

[brokenmnemonic]

I meant to post this up over the weekend and didn't, because I seem to lack the ability to do more than one useful thing a day - sorry about that. Still, I'm hoping if I get something useful done first thing today, I'll manage more throughout the day, so... movies for this week!

Assuming that Tuesdays and Fridays continue to work for everyone, I've gone through the suggestions for new movies for the list, and I've also seen a couple of people commenting on Friday night being difficult for various reasons, so I've added Sunday night movies as an option too. Or possibly repeats, if we want to play it again, Sam...

Also, Knightriders lost out on being the Friday night movie in the coin toss; I'm keen to still watch it, so if it doesn't manage to win a win a viewing in the polls, would anyone be interested in watching it on a different night at some point with me? I'm definitely feeling the need for renfaire motorcycle jousts fighting Reaganism at the moment...

The poll is under the cut.

Assuming you're interested in a Sunday movie, what would you like to watch - a repeat from previous evenings, a completely different movie, or something different like a streamed stage play or light opera? What times would work for you?

If Knightriders doesn't win, I'd be up for watching it some other night. It's on the 101 Action Movies list (not scifi or cult, as I previously misremembered).

[condnsdmlk]

I'd also be up for watching Knightriders some other night if it doesn't win. Just can't do a Sunday or Monday (this weekend was exception as it's a public holiday here today).

[goodbyebird]

Hopefully I'll be home early enough on Friday to catch the movie.

oh, and I nominate Masters of the Universe (1987).

[jb_slasher]

Oh dear god. XD

(Disclaimer for icon: using it only because it is my only Dolph Lundgren icon, never mind the message.)

[brokenmnemonic]

Now that's a film I should definitely watch again - I used to have Back to the Future part 1 and Masters of the Universe on the same tape (at half speed, because I'm classy like that) and the same bald-headed school teacher is in both of them...

[jb_slasher]

In other news, your icon reminds me I really wanted to nominate Terminator because I got Terminator: Dark Fate and should re-watch T1 and T2... :D

[goodbyebird]

Nice! (I'm really enjoying this re-watchaton of my old faves)

[goodbyebird]

Message received :D

[brokenmnemonic]

Btw, did you see that there's a thread running on Twitter now about playing boardgames in TS, possibly this week/this weekend?

[goodbyebird]

I haven't been on twitter for ages. I'm game though! (there's two ks games I'm eyeing. The Goodest Puppers is on TTS, the other should be easy for me to port myself). But yeah, TTS or Tabletopia, I'm down :)

[brokenmnemonic]

What's your availability like? I think Selenay and Chris have both given options on Twitter for when they're around...

[goodbyebird]

I'll be gone until sometime late Friday, then my schedule is wide open. All I'm doing is playing games and reading, so...

[brokenmnemonic]

So, if I tried to arrange something for Saturday afternoon, it wouldn't be terrible timing for you?

[jb_slasher]

That is a really nice icon you have there :D <3

[brokenmnemonic]

I'm not sure if you saw on twitter, but tonight's movie is Knightriders :)

[goodbyebird]

I figured as much :)
(you have icons to submit btw ;)

[brokenmnemonic]

I need to go and see how others are submitting theirs, to work out how to submit mine :P

Also, you're playing boardgames in Tabletop Simulator with me, Chris and Eva tomorrow from 1pm BST/2pm CET...

[goodbyebird]

Is that your 1pm? I'll do my best to be awake lol

[brokenmnemonic]

It is, aye - your 2pm, if Google is to be believed. You did tell me to organise boardgame sessions for you ;) It's also a practise run for the following Saturday, where Selenay should be able to join us.

If you're not there, who's going to tell us how to use TS?

[goodbyebird]

Nice! 2pm sounds way more doable.

And TS is easy peasy, just do the five minute tutorial. Click the ? in game if you forget how to do something.

[brokenmnemonic]

I'd been planning to do the tutorial today, but I slept appallingly last night and my eyes have been playing up all day. I may have to do it tomorrow morning instead...
