He also said the label of those posts should be done according to genre. See, I'm, like, so totally ready.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'll tally the votes on this thread and post the discussion opener on the 15th or the 30th accordingly. Personally I'm cool with the 15th cause as Looney says, peeps who haven't watched it yet can just wait til they have and then jump into the comments. That's the beauty of online vs. real-space "meetings" for these sorts of clubs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732936190877043335.post-74860546883931282842007-03-26T11:28:00.000-04:002007-03-26T11:28:00.000-04:00I kinda agree with Joe here.

If someone can't get the film in before the 15th, they could avoid the commentary for a few days until they get the movie watched, then catch up fairly easily... I would think, anyway.<BR/><BR/>So, rather than have dozens of posts on a single film, would the actual discussion thread be in the comments of the official post from the chooser that begins the discussion, say on the 15th, or on the 1st, whichever we finalize?<BR/><BR/>I missed that :-)Looneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347155068292874148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732936190877043335.post-29029570104608609132007-03-26T09:59:00.000-04:002007-03-26T09:59:00.000-04:00I like starting the discussion on the 15th.

I don't mind that in May we discuss The April Movie, and in June discuss The May Movie. On yet an udder hand, there's no crime missing one now and then anyway. So yeah, cool, whatever. The best rule systems evolve as needed anyway. I presume anyone can initiate a post, just sort of keep it within topic. Sounds fun.

That gives us two weeks to watch, two weeks to discuss. We're still only watching one per month, but there's no overlap.

This will have us all watching a given film in our own time while discussing the previous one, and unable to talk about the one we just saw until the one that follows it has been chosen. I can adapt to this, I just want to see if I understand and that it is generally agreeable.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090153485822745036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732936190877043335.post-91336457215899025122007-03-23T18:57:00.000-04:002007-03-23T18:57:00.000-04:00Sounds like a good plan to me!Sounds like a good plan to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
