I’ve never been involved in a film club but would it be fun to do a sort of watch party for a particular film every two weeks/every month or so?
Edit: Nah, after dealing with some people on this board absolutely forget it. Some of you are lovely but the amount of sneering bad faith commenters makes me not want anything more to do with this place.
Of course! Would you like to organize this? It would just require two type of threads
- week 1: decide a movie, let the thread run for a week
- week 2: give people a week to watch the movie, then create the thread afterwards
I would like to but I’m currently juggling a newborn and full time employment so it’s probably a bit more than I can handle. However I’d like to take part!
Congratulations with your baby!
Let’s see if someone else wants to organize this
Yeah I’d be down to participate, seems like fun. I love talking about movies, and it’s a good opportunity to get exposed to stuff you might not have watched otherwise.
Any ideas on what movies you’d want to cover?
I was hoping someone else would run it so that I could get the kind of exposure I don’t currently have.
There are a bunch of watch parties on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling. Usually, people all watch the movie at the same time and make brief comments (bc Mastodon is like Twitter, see?)
- Here on lemmy I post an announcement every Friday on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world about the next “Monsterdon” watch party on Mastodon.
- see this calendar of Mastodon watch parties (WARNING: includes Bluesky, which has chosen the path of enshittification. Also, some of these watch parties may be dormant.)
edit: but yeah, it’d be cool to have a watch party here, where we could do “longer form” takes on things.
