Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 As you might have read, Koray came up with the not too shabby idea of starting a JWFan.net Movie Club, in which we decide each week what film we will collectively watch.So, here is the official (or: OFFICIAL) JWFan.net Movie Club thread.This is where the new movie will be decided each week (suggestions are welcome of course). The new movie will be posted in the Topic Description. You can also post your reviews of the week's film here.At the end of each week, there will also be a chat session where we can come together to discuss. What better excuse to reinstate the old chat times, eh?So, for this week, your first movie to watch will be Steven Spielberg's 1975 film Jaws.Get in that fresh view and enlighten us with your opinions and discussions. Chat sessions will be held each Friday starting at 5pm EST.See you there!- MarcEDIT:Alright then, so here's a change of plans:New movies will no longer be announced weekly, but bi-weekly.The Friday night chat remains, but is no longer designated for the Movie Club, since that never really took off anyway.So, the new movie is The Iron Giant (Brad Bird, 1999).The next one will be announced on Saturday August 22nd.Post your thoughts and reviews here!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 To those who not at the regular Fridaynight chatsessions many years ago.It was maddening at times, multiple conversations carried out at once, between multiple members, for many many hours.It wasn't untill I started drinking that I would feel such sensations again. The dizziness, the confusion, the headache the next morning, with the blurred memory.It did give me a few good friends though.Of course the Membership was a far better class of person then what hangs around here these days!SLACK-JAWED-SLACKERS!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I actually wasn't expecting the chat, but I like it. But like Steef said, it will be pretty messy with a bunch of people talking at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Yes but my original idea was to have detailed discussions, where would address things like cinematography, editing, certain shots, specific moments, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Chats on oscar night are memorable... and I'm always labelled crazy for staying up till 5am And somehow I feel these chats won't stay within the nominated films for long. But I'll re-watch Jaws if I can tear myself away from organising music for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm probably not going to be there. Firstly, I've seen Jaws too many times recently (HBO) and don't really want to pop in the DVD and watch it again. Secondly, I might be busy 5pm on Friday.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 I won't even be able to watch it. I left my copy of Jaws at home.- Marc, who did watch Back to the Future last week and is actually planning to watch Back to the Future part II next.
