NOW Showing at the Castle Theatre

[Woofer]

Castle Theatre
{In Hologram-o-Rama}

At the end of the hall is a door floating just above the floor. Two figures flank it: an old cigar store Indian and a Robot.

“Which theatre, please? Batcave, the Enterprise, an Opera house, or simply Elegant?” They ask simultaneously.

You answer and one hands you a token; Old Chief Woodenhead to those choosing the Opera house or simply Elegant, and Nigel to those choosing the Batcave or the Enterprise. “Step through please.”


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo194/TheCuteWoofer/Palaver%20Castle/Free-Beer.jpg

You step into the lobby for your theatre and ponder refreshments. In the mirror behind the concession stand you catch a glimpse of a different lobby before yours solidifies and you smile. A holographic-surround keyed to the token.

Armed with drink and snack, you enter the theatre and settle in for a movie with friends.

[sarajean]

one and three.

[gsvec]

We're building a theater?? :excited:

[Woofer]

Yes! This will be a place where we can hang and watch movies together. The first is going to be The Lion in Winter. WOOF!

[alinda]

Hee , this is fun! What a great idea!

[John Blaze]

that's not fair, you coerced me into voting stone-esque.

[Jean]

bears voted 2, 3, 7, but don't forget that the Castle having a lot of dimensions it is actually possible to have all of them at the same time in one place.

[John Blaze]

you could vote more than once? I've been cheated!

[Woofer]

bears voted 2, 3, 7, but don't forget that the Castle having a lot of dimensions it is actually possible to have all of them at the same time in one place.

I wonder, then, if our developers could set it up so that you name the theater you wish to watch in and that's the door that opens for you. :orely: I talk to them about that.

[cozener]

I'd go with the Batcave...but the TNG one is very nice, just a bit bright for a theater.

[candy]

WOOFER
You're fab!! so much work has gone into this that i feel bad voting for just one.
the opera style one looks just like the theatre that we have here, so i was going to vote for that one. but i lurve ST/TNg, decisions decisions.........


that's not fair, you coerced me into voting stone-esque.

:rofl:how? this sounds like a story?:rofl:

[John Blaze]

that's not fair, you coerced me into voting stone-esque.

:rofl:how? this sounds like a story?:rofl:
the movie gladiator was playing, so I had to sit down, and my mind just unconciously voted for stonesque.

[candy]

:rofl:

ok, i have decided
batcave
st
opera house
th th tha that all folks.:cowboy:

[turtlex]

1 and 3.

[Woofer]

*bump* Poll closes tonight.

[sarajean]

1 and 3.

:couple:

[Tvmorbid]

Definately number 3 for me. Number 1 is also awesome, but I'm a single choice kinda guy ;)

[Woofer]

Well, the votes are in and I'm finalizing details. I think many will be pleased with our theater.

In the meantime, I'd like to remind folks who do not own The Lion in Winter that you can buy it through Amazon (don't forget the link at the bottom of the page):


The Lion in Winter ~ Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, and John Castle; Buy new: $8.99; 73 Used & new from $4.57.

Reminder: Get the original.

[alinda]

when do we view the film?

[Woofer]

alinda, we've not yet set up a time. I'd like to set the first showing for a couple of weeks from now to allow for people to order it and/or bump it to the top of their Netflix or Blockbuster queue. Tonight or tomorrow I will post a thread regarding show times so that we can discuss the best time in general for each of us (just to get a feel) as well as finding the ideal time for our first movie. :excited: :excited: :excited:

[Jean]

Actually, we can discuss it right here. I could rename the thread if necessary.

[Woofer]

Okie, why don't we do that? It's much simpler.

[alinda]

I am looking forward to it, thanks for the reply , and the time to grab a copy of the film.It is quite good as I recall.Oh how good to be back home.:rose:

[Jean]

so, what do we want the new title of this thread to be?

[alinda]

How about NOW showing @ the Castle Theatre?

[Woofer]

I like that title.

[John Blaze]

me too.

[candy]

me 3, is a shame i probabley won't be able to watch the films with you guys, but i could always watch them the day after. The time zones don't work (i don't think anyway)

[Woofer]

Before we schedule the first movie, I'd like to get an idea of what days and times are good for people in general. Please post your general availability, and I'll make a list. From that, I'll suggest times for The Lion in Winter, and we will decide the exact date of the showing from the suggested days and times.

[Jean]

Bears are available most of the time, unless it is EST daytime, which is bears' nighttime. EST mornings and evenings are ok

[flaggwalkstheline]

well after next week I'm outta school for about 2 weeks between semesters so my schedule is totally free

[Woofer]

*bump*

Can everyone put paws on a copy by August 21?

[Woofer]

*bump bump*

The Bear is sick. There will be no movie until the bear can join us. The movie will be The Lion in Winter. Please ignore the crews working on the theatre. As we are not in a rush for the 21st, they have slowed down a bit. Still, it wouldn't be wise to wander too close.

Now... get to sending goodmind to the bear!

[Jean]

thank you Wolf! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gif

Even when the bear is sick, he still can watch movies, so it's up to all of you when we start http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/awake.gif

[mia/susannah]

I will not be able to watch the first movie but hopefully the next one.

[Woofer]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've not forgotten this, I've just been very busy on this level of the tower. I've an online course to complete by 9/10, and I've been working on Sat and Sun to make up for taking off for the you-know-who on Mondays.

I did talk to the crew getting the theaters ready, and they said that they are whenever we are, so I am thinking sometime soon after 9/10. :P

[mia/susannah]

That sounds good woofer, thank yoiu so much for all the time and work you are putting into this:rose::dance:

[Woofer]

Okay, I think that we shall shoot for September 26 as our fist movie.

Jean and anyone else across the water please let me know what time is good for you, that way we can coordinate time here in the U.S. For some reason, I think it'll be easier to work around your schedules.

[Jean]

Sept 26 I'm ready since about 10.30 pm Moscow time - which is 11.30 am in California, but I will have to go to bed at some moment, so it's till about 1 or 2 am, which will be respectively 2 or 3 pm California time. If this time is not suitable, I think I can wake up at about 8 o'clock next morning - 9 pm in California, but I am afraid this is the earliest.

[alinda]

What day of the week is that? :orely:

[Woofer]

If I'm reading the timezones correctly, it's 9:30 P.M. for you, Jean, at the time I am posting this. Could you please confirm?

ETA: Linda, that's on a Saturday.

[Jean]

If I'm reading the timezones correctly, it's 9:30 P.M. for you, Jean, at the time I am posting this. Could you please confirm? Right, it was 9:30, Friday night

[Woofer]

So Linda, that's 1:30 P.M. for you and 12:30 P.M. for me. Anybody else want to chime in as we synchronize our timezones?

When I saw it the Crimson King came to my mind..
Yep, I am a DT junkie. :)

[Jean]

Bears are ready for Saturday!

What time will it be?

The only problem is that my server has had an accident, and is not working very steadily now; but I will hope and pray! Anyway, if I know what time it is, I will be there watching the movie even if I can't be online and comment.

[Woofer]

If 9:00PM is not too late, then we will be starting at 9PM your time.

That's noon CST.

OMG! Squee! This is so cool.

[Jean]

No, I won't be home till half-past ten http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif

[Woofer]

Then you tell us, and that's our time!

:grouphug:

[Jean]

10.30 pm Moscow time, then? or, if is more suitable, we can make it my early Sunday, your late Saturday? both are all right for me, only I can't start earlier than 10.30 Saturday night, or earlier than 9 Sunday morning (bearwife will be sleeping)

[Woofer]

That's fine by me - as long as you won't be too tired.

For people in the states, that'll be 1:30 PM CST.

[Jean]

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/poohbear.gif

[Jean]

So, tomorrow at this very time as I am posting now, the Theater will open its doors for the first time! Bears and Wolves will take their seats, and hope that more friends, both people, otters, foxes, cats, and any other creaters, will join us at that glorious moment.

[John Blaze]

I'm terribly flattered I was remembered, but must bow out. I have prior appointments. You all enjoy it anyway.

[Jean]

Eleanor is coming in her boat!!! Oh Lord, I got to make a little break, five minutes - I am so overwhelmed - it's ten, no, thousand times greater to watch it knowing that a dear friend is doing the same at the other end of the world

[Woofer]

Isn't it?! I love how everything you need to know about each character is evident in the first appearance of each.

They're about to meet Phillip!

[Jean]

I'm back, I'm back, now for my favorite dialogs!

[Jean]

John: Did you hear what he called me?!
Eleanor: Clearly dear, now run along, it's nearly dinner time.

ETA:

"give me a little peace"
"a little? why so modest? how about eternal peace?"

ETA:

"did you rehearse all this, or are you improvising?"

[Woofer]

Squeee!

"I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family."

[Jean]

"we're extra princes now. Do you know where extra princes go?"

ETA

"it's a lie, but there are rumors; don't you ever wonder?"

ETA

"boy, never call a king a liar to his face"

ETA

"you've got your enigmatic face on, what's your mood I wonder"

[Woofer]

"You're good at rage. I like the way you play it."

LATER:

"Mother's tired. Come stick pins tomorrow morning; I'll be more responsive."
"It's no fun goading anyone tonight."

STILL LATER:

"I should say something solemn, but I haven't got the time."


EVEN LATER:

"I spent two years in every street in Hell."
"That's odd. I never saw you there."


EVEN LATER STILL:

"I'm it. I'm all that's left. Here, Father. Here I am."

[Jean]

"If you're a prince, there's hope for every ape in Africa"

ETA

"piss on your peace"
"your father would have wept"
"my father was a weeper"

***

now Henry is curling at the bottom of that wall - one of the most powerful shots in history

***

ETA:

"Henry isn't here"
"Good, we can talk behind his back"

ETA:

"a new wife will bear me sons."
"That is the single thing of which I would have thought you had enough"

[Woofer]

"a new wife will bear me sons."
"That is the single thing of which I would have thought you had enough"

"Well, what family doesn't have its ups and downs."

ETA: "When the king is off his ass, nobody sleeps!"

[Jean]

"I'm off."
"to Rome?"
"that's where they keep the pope"

***

"when the king is off his ass, nobody sleeps"

***

"don't bother me about the child, the damned thing isn't born yet"

***

"you chivalric fool - as if the way one fell down mattered"
"when the fall is all there is, it matters"

[Woofer]

"I want to die."

[Jean]

"you're smiling"
"it's the way I register despair"

"I hope we never die."
"so do I"
"do you think there's any chance of it?"

The End

It was an absolutely fantastic experience, I wouldn't have believed anything like that possible. I am exhausted now, in a good way - in a wonderfully good way. Not only the movie - one of the greatest movies of all times - works like it never did before, but it was like I really was there in the theater with my beloved Woofer, and heard her lupine heart beating so close to me, and we laughed and gasped and held our breath at the same moments; as if we were holding paws - Woofer, I can still feel the warmth of your paw in mine.

Guys, gals, beasts and birds and fish, everyone who missed it today - try not to miss the next show, it's something that can't really be described in words.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

[Woofer]

*wolfhug* Thanks for coming to the grand opening of the Theatre.

I'm so glad we could do this, and I know what you mean about it seeming as if we truly were together. Just knowing that we were enjoying the same moments was truly awesome and, as Jean says, hard to put into words.

Please, do try to join us for the next movie. The concession stands serve all types of refreshment one could possibly want. All.

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo194/TheCuteWoofer/Palaver%20Castle/Free-Beer.jpg

Suggestions anyone?

[alinda]

:cries: :(weeps....><begs, etc....next time do I have to be at hospital working? Could you arrage a day off for me?
Please!

[Woofer]

Definitely. We will schedule the next around one of your days off, then.

[Jean]

Lady Linda http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wub.gif: next time the day and the hour will depend on you entirely; if you'd only warned at least a day before, we would have put off this first show, too. The whole thing had to be started, so we at least could see if it worked - and now we know that it does, better than we could have expected!

I think it's time for people, animals, and other creatures to voice their preferences about the next show.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

[alinda]

Wow, that is extremely generous of you all. thank you
very much I feel so loved. :wub: oh my goodness.

[mia/susannah]

I missed the movie, stupid work and cold. Hopefully I can catch the next movie night:shoot:

[alinda]

*handcuffs the lovely Milissa to me just in case*......:wtf:

[Woofer]

*handcuffs the lovely Milissa to me just in case*......:wtf:

Hey now! There's a thread (http://thedarktower.org/palaver/forumdisplay.php?f=41) for that kind of stuff. Carry on.

[Woofer]

Frosted flakes.

[mia/susannah]

*handcuffs the lovely Milissa to me just in case*......:wtf:

Can they be pink cloth handcuffs?:dance:

[Woofer]

*bump*

How about a category? What do people want next?


Action
Comedy
Drama
Dystopian Future
Horror
Science Fiction
Suspense/Thriller

[Jean]

I suggest we watch something old and black-and-white. Could be some Capra - Arsenic and Old Lace, or Mr.Smith Goes to Washington, or someone else like that. I mean, as far as newer movies are concerned, especially the four last category you listed, people watch enough of this shit without us; like, you don't have to get together to watch Saw, and anyway the impression wouldn't be, to my mind, exactly what we're trying to achieve.

[Matt]

I had no idea this was going on, what a cool idea. I will try and make myself available for the next one as long as I'm up. :nana:

:rose:i agree with the newer films but don't dismiss the last four catergories there are some really good old films in those catergories (not so much black and white but still not to be lumped in with the current 'blockbusters').
george orwells time machine and rear window just popped into my head.

[Brice]

The Phantom Of The Opera

The original of course. :)

[candy]

always the originals brice!:cowboy:

Right, Jean. Classiscs of the categories.

Yes, when I mention horror or science fiction, I'm not talking about newer or thoughtless movies. I mean movies like Forbidden Planet

And The Spiral Staircase - classic B&W suspense/thriller with one scene scared the bejers out of me.

Oooo, and Rope, there's a great thriller.

I'll second Aresenic and Old Lace. Third?

[Jean]

Arsenic! Arsenic!!! Old Lace! Old Lace!!!

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear4bis.gif

[Woofer]

Come on. You know you want it.

http://billsmovieemporium.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/oldlace.jpg

[turtlex]

What about something like The Philadelphia Story ?!

[Woofer]

Hrm, another good choice.

[turtlex]

I guess one thing to consider though - is the availibility of the title on DVD/BluRay.

( Philadelphia Story is one of my all time favorite films )

Dinah : Maybe that's because his name is Jack !!! - obtuse quote reference to same.

[Jean]

oh how tempting! I don't know if I can get a copy in the nearest future, though

[Woofer]

My apologies to all for not pressing forward with this. As you may know from some of the threads, I have been very busy. (Work, Howl-o-ween, the H'ween party,

Shall we try for a date in December? I'm still very busy at work, but I may have a chance toward the end of the month. I realize that December is a bad month since it encompasses almost all the Winter holidays, but I'm still hopeful.

That should give us all time to get a copy of whatever we plan to watch. HOWEVER, I don't want to put anyone out, especially around the holidays, so I think we should go with something that is readily available.

Is everyone able to watch movies online? I know not everyone has a connection that will support decent video. The Philadelphia Story (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D56A61E54B01403D) is on YT.

[Jean]

I've been unable to find a copy so far, and YouTube is out of the question, because of the connection...

[LadyHitchhiker]

Forbidden planet?

[Woofer]

Okay, here's a totally new suggestion based only quotes from Harvey. How about Harvey?

[alinda]

Hear hear! Not that I have been of any use what so ever having not joined in
on the viewing last time...Inexcusable I know! However I agree completely that
what we convey regarding our impressions here should be proper I think in that
the films critiqued are not all gorefest stuff.:nope: not at all.

[pathoftheturtle]

http://www.tehdriven.com/forum/images/smilies/custom/whistle.gif

[Woofer]

You realize, of course, that your Master of Ceremonies is also a gorehound?

That aside, I'm not suggesting a gorefest, but we do have a problem: lots of suggestions for the next movie, but no seconding. I don't know what kind of power you have to have to make a poll, but maybe Jean (*waves to the bear*) could set one up once we have about 5 choices. Then we can vote and set a time that allows everyone to put paws to DVD.

I'm concerned that some people may have difficulty getting the choice in time to watch, so I would definitely like to see a two week (at least) gap between the vote and and the viewing. Let me know if any of you anticipate that it could take longer than that.

Final thought: Instead of nominations and voting, perhaps we should form a club and have members choose the movie on a rotating basis. That seems very fair to me.

Thoughts?

Sorry that I haven't addressed this sooner, it's been a rough... well, however long it has been. Don't want to talk about any of it, just want to move on.

[Brice]

Oh, you're a gorehound? Then I nominate Anthrpophagus...and Cannibal Holocaust...and Cannibal Ferox...and.... :lol:

[Woofer]

Oh ya, I appreciate all horror, from the subtle to the EXTREME. That doesn't mean I like every movie I see - far from it - but it means that I am open to trying a lot of movies that others don't. In that vein, by the way, Killer Condom is available on Hulu.

Also, you forgot Braindead/Dead Alive (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/) (During the lawnmower scene, I said to Mr. Woofer "They should cut to a random shot of a kitten in a field of flowers and then back to this just to clear the palate a little.") and Dellamorte Dellamore (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109592/) .

People flying under the power of the blood pumping from their severed limbs (and bodies that hold hundreds of gallons of blood apparently) :wtf:.

[Brice]

:lol:

Truth Or Dare? Aftermath? August Underground? AU Mordum?

I could go on.

I have not seen Killer Condom though. :rofl:

[Woofer]

:couple: I wish you lived closer. We could have a proper "horror" night.

Surely did not mean to seem impatient, or to imply any criticism. Those points are good, and your ideas are great. Thanks again for your stewardship here. :)

with the films we have to watch them all at the same time?:orely:

You realize, of course, that your Master of Ceremonies is also a gorehound?

That aside, I'm not suggesting a gorefest, but we do have a problem: lots of suggestions for the next movie, but no seconding. I don't know what kind of power you have to have to make a poll, but maybe Jean (*waves to the bear*) could set one up once we have about 5 choices. Then we can vote and set a time that allows everyone to put paws to DVD.

I'm concerned that some people may have difficulty getting the choice in time to watch, so I would definitely like to see a two week (at least) gap between the vote and and the viewing. Let me know if any of you anticipate that it could take longer than that.

Final thought: Instead of nominations and voting, perhaps we should form a club and have members choose the movie on a rotating basis. That seems very fair to me.

Thoughts?

Sorry that I haven't addressed this sooner, it's been a rough... well, however long it has been. Don't want to talk about any of it, just want to move on.:D Yay! I'm curious to see how the club'll turn out.
Surely did not mean to seem impatient, or to imply any criticism. Those points are good, and your ideas are great. Thanks again for your stewardship here. :)


You and I, Mike, have the IRL option!!!!

:couple: I wish you lived closer. We could have a proper "horror" night.

a?

Scheduling what I can watch when can be an issue for me. :(

[Woofer]

with the films we have to watch them all at the same time?:orely:

Well, that's the idea. We try to pick a movie and watch it all together, e.g., at the same time, and can pop in the thread and make comments. It's all about sharing the films we love with others.

One of my all time favorite movies ... in the history of movies !!!

My But She Was Yar.

Maybe that's because his name is Jack.

REMINDER!!!

[Woofer]

*BUMP*

Discussion and simulviewing of The Philadelphia Story starting at 2:00 P.M. CST (it is 12:52 CST now).

[alinda]

I'm from Philadelphia.......:wtf:

[Woofer]

It's time!

[Woofer]

"I'm giving them an impression of home life that will set their hair on end!"

"She has a horror of men who wear their hats inside."

[Jean]

bears can't watch now, but they are with you anyway! they remember the lines, too

[Woofer]

Well? Did anyone else watch? What a cast! Good show all around.

[Brice]

I couldn't.

[Woofer]

It's okay. I'd never had the pleasure of viewing it from start to finish, so it was great for me. Plus, I was experiencing a great movie my friends love, and that means a lot - even if nobody could virtually make it. I knew you guys were elsewhere in the Castle.

:grouphug:

[turtlex]

Woofer - It's one of my all time favorite movies.

What was your favorite scene? To me, anything with Dinah in it was a bonus. She stole all her scenes, and that's no small feat when you're opposite Katharine Hepburn!!

[Woofer]

It's true! It was just great. I really don't know which is my favorite because seeing that way was like seeing it for the first time. I think I'll definitely be using "Yar" interchangably with "Rawr!" now. I'm definitely going to watch it again soon, so that I can think about what I am seeing rather than just allowing myself to be immersed.

Thanks, Pam. That was a great suggestion!

ETA: Ooo, I just thought of one early scene where I almost woke Mr. Woofer with my laughter: horseback riding. I have been riding with someone who was just exactly like George in that scene: utterly clueless and convinced he needed no help. I also loved when Hepburn tackled him to the ground to ensure that his new outfit didn't look so... new.

[turtlex]

My but she was yar!!

Actually, when Dinah says "maybe because his name is Jack!" when they're on the horses is probably my favorite scene, I think - it's hard to pick just one ... but her delivery is perfect.

I love when Jimmy Stewart goes to the library and talks to the librarian and then runs into Kate. And then when he and Ruth are first brought into the house and start looking around ... so many great moments.

There are just so many great moments in that film. It's wonderful.

[Woofer]

There are! Being a LOSTie, I couldn't help but think of Jack when Dinah made the Jack comment. Jimmy Stewart was phenomenal. It's easy to see why this was his Oscar-winning role (although, truth be told, he has turned in even more Oscar-worthy performances than those for which he has been nominated, but I digress...).

Now I wish I had kept it an extra extra week to watch it again! :panic:

[razz]

So guiz. Idear. I found this online service called See-Too, which would allow me to stream movies I've converted from DvDs. Tried it last night with some friends, streamed The Crow and Carriers.
Tonight I'll be streaming Green Mile and the Crazies.

[Jean]

well, any suggestions? bears are free at the moment, and will be for a couple of weeks

[razz]

How about Saturday around 4PM?

my movie list includes
The Crow
Carriers
The Green Mile
The Crazies.
Event Horizon
Sands of Iwo Jima
Dead Poets Society
12 Angry Men
Waterworld
Donnie Darko
Interstella 5555
Yellow Submarine
Hamlet 2
Pandorum
Various Doctor Who episodes, mainly Blink
Repo! The Genetic Opera

Coming Soon:
V For Vendetta
Spirited Away
Jurassic Park I - III

I also have Avatar and Watchmen, but we ain't watching them. Avatar is too fucking long, and Watchmen is an abomination, simply because it brought into the world the MCR cover of Desolation Row.

[Jean]

bears would be happy to watch Dead Poets Society, 12 Angry Men, or Yellow Submarine. Can you calculate what Moscow time is 4 pm? I can't at the moment, braindead because of weather

bears have missed you, bear-son

[razz]

>.<
4PM Eastern would be 12AM in Moscow D:

[Jean]

oops, bears will be asleep by then...

[razz]

3:

What would be a good time for you to join us?

[Jean]

afraid no later than 10 pm Moscow time

[razz]

That'd be starting at 2PM, and you wouldn't even be able to finish Green Mile.
I don't think anyone else would be around then either. :/

[Jean]

yeah, right... I think you should decide it with Woofer, and I'll try to fit in somehow

[Woofer]

razz, that's awesome!

[turtlex]

razz ... I'm very disappointed that you don't have V for Vendetta included. :doh:

[razz]

I dun have it on DvD. I'll download it though.
I've also added Spirited Away to the list.

[Melike]

I'd like to join you. Which one you decided to watch?

[Brice]

Has it been decided yet?

[Woofer]

We were going to watch on the weekend that DT was down. Let's see if we can persuade razz to set another date.

[razz]

We doing this shit or what?

[Woofer]

razz, since you're running the projector, I'm leaving the date open to you. I can work around things being a free agent at the moment.

But yes, we SHOULD do it.

[razz]

Saturday at 4PM Eastern Time.
PM Me to rsvp; if I get less than three people I won't waste my time.
Be online when I'm ready to begin. We'll discuss movies when we're there.

[Jean]

what are we watching? what Moscow time is it?

[Woofer]

I have no idea, but I'm watching it with you guys. *group wolfhug*

[razz]

Just one person?
I'll get other people to kill the gaps then.

[Brice]

I would, but I must work tonight which means sleep soon. :yawn:

[alinda]

I am already at work , and will be till early this evening 7:30 pmish. :couple:
Hope you enjoy it. :D

[Woofer]

I am cursed. Stupid storms!

[turtlex]

Gonna toss out this proposal ... nothing official or anything, but every November 5th, yours truly sits down to watch V for Vendetta ( one of my favorite movies ) .... maybe we should all watch this year?!?

http://dev.wavemaker.com/forums/files/v.jpg

Um, for those not knowing ... why Nov 5th is important to the film :

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Fawkes at midnight, and by torchlight, there was found
With long matches, and devices, underground.

Iconic Scene from V for Vendetta ... oozes coolness.

YouTube - V for Vendetta dominos

[candy]

i love v for vendetta - i will be watching (athough prob not at the same time as you guys)

[Woofer]

Sounds good to me! I'll push it up on Netflix.

[turtlex]

Hey, it's November 5th !!

I'll be watching V for Vendetta this evening!

[Woofer]

I'm so bummed out. Our Netflix movie got hidden under other stuff (hello, cats), so we didn't get it back in time to watch V. :(
