[12:13] <Nicnac14> what?
[12:14] <gloomp> Y'know how they have community listens in #music? Well, what if we had a community watch? Like, watch a film together.
[12:14] <Laurie|NES> #films
[12:14] <Nicnac14> #movies hehe
[12:14] <gloomp> Find one legally available on the Internet, and bam!
[12:15] <gloomp> Not now, though, I'll need to get off in a half hour or so.
[12:15] <gloomp> Oh, and I like the idea of a movies channel.
[12:17] <gloomp> So, if we do it, care to hear what I suggest?
[12:17] <Nicnac14> yes..
[12:17] <Laurie|NES> Sure.

I think that this would be a really fun thing to do. I've made this thread to see if anyone else does.

Well, we did the first and it was a roaring success! The movie was Wavelength, directed by Michael Snow.

Hmm, sounds like a really good idea, but two things:

1: People would often have to stop watching.
2: People would have to devote a solid 2 hours or so to each movie.

And I don't see many movies being legally available, but I'm sure many people would have DVDs and stuff.

Still, if you're planning these, please post a notification here because I'd like to join in, if I can.

If you get a group of Americans, you can use hulu.com. They have a couple hundred movies up ranging from blockbuster to indie.

That would be great, but it often doesn't load anything more than 40 minutes for me. Still, I'll look into it.

1: Yes, that can be a problem. It's one that can't be helped, though.
2: Well, Wavelength was only 45 minutes, so it really depends. Chances are we're going to watch a whole bunch on 1 minute films next. I'm not sure how well it'll work, but we're going to try.

Yes, that's a major problem. One I'd love to do is Un Chien Andalou, but that seems to have disappeared from the Internet.

I'll try to post if it looks like it's about to start, but yesterday's really happened suddenly.

Good observation. That is probably why I said you could use hulu only if you had a group of Americans.

I know I've said this before, but who knows, maybe someone will do it, or even, think about it. Anyway, someone could set up an account on Ustream and stream movies through that. That way, everyone could watch the movie, and you could all start at about the same time. The only problem though is that you can't pause it. I mean, you CAN pause it, but when you unpause it, it goes to what it's currently showing.

I've never expressed an interest in this project, but I just got a PM from Laurie advocating it, saying they hoped that I'd be there. I'd rather not receive advertising in my inbox, so remove me from your list, or whatever it is you telemarketers do.

Not to mention I'm Canadian, so, if I understand LV correctly, I'd have to be a group of Americans just to participate.

Heh. I really am sorry everyone. It wasn't my idea, but still.

Let it be also known that we have not done a Hulu movie yet, and that the next one will not be.

To get on IRC, download an IRC client (google for mIRC, or XChat. If you use Firefox, you can download ChatZilla), then connect to the server irc.waypasteleven.com and /join #Cinema. After you've installed your IRC client, this link should work: irc://irc.waypasteleven.com/Cinema .

I want to apologize to anyone who found the mass PM'ing a nuisance. There is no 'list' we use, PNI simply chose from the user list of the forum. It won't happen again and any further notifications about MetaMovie's events will most likely be in this topic.
