Chat Movie Night

[storybookmother.livejournal.com]

Some of you may have noticed the occasional Movie Nights we have in chat. For those of you who haven't seen, chat movie nights started almost a year ago (April or May of 2009), when Allison, Cheryle, and Kas were bored one night and decided to watch a movie, and has since grown to encase anyone who is in chat at the time of, "Hey guys, let's watch a movie." These movie nights covered several different films and genres, from the comedic horrors that are Repo! the Genetic Opera, Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon, and Hellsing, to fun-for-everyone movies such as Penelope, Cats Don't Dance, Titan A.E., and Peter Pan. Some of these movies have been just for fun, while others have been to help introduce players in the game to a canon they might not have known about, and to help along when it came to critiquing in the infamous HMD.

Sunday, April 25th, 2010 (tonight) will be another Chat Movie Night, during which we will be watching Disney's Robin Hood. Start time flops all over, but if you feel like popping your head into chat at some point to join us, Allison is in charge. :)



The main purpose of this post, however, is to organize a list of movies that players would be interested in having a Chat Movie Night for. (This can include series, too, seeing as there are plenty of tv shows and animes that people haven't seen!) Go ahead and reply here with any ideas you might have for movies, or with any ideas you might have to make our insane, mostly-impromptu movie nights better.

THE LIST THUS FAR:
~Hook
~Ink
~Peter Pan (Mary Martin)
~Peter Pan (2003)
~Zombieland
~Various Mel Brooks movies - Blazing Saddles, History of the World: Part I, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Spaceballs, etc.

Watchmen and V for Vendetta? No, I'm not horribly biased. Hell, might as well throw Mushishi in there too, since it doesn't have an overarching plot and any episode can stand on its own.
Sherlock Holmes (/still hasn't seen it)
Baccano! was discussed earlier...

Maybe some lame/silly/badly dubbed movies too for fun. old crappy animes or cheesy kung fu. lol...

re: 'cheesy kung fu'

Kung Pow. It's more a parody of bad kung fu movies, but. :D

oh and we actually own a box set of 100 sci-fi movies. Almost all of which are terrible. Some that come to mind are 'Starman' and 'Teenagers From Outer Space.'

[killmeloving.livejournal.com]

I... think we have that exact same boxset.

[melodyofwater.livejournal.com]

Really?

I'm so sorry if it is because I don't remember many good ones. :(

[killmeloving.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeah.

one day my dad brought this box home. and was all "Look it this 100 sci-fi classics. Now we'll have something to watch all summer long!"

and we were like "Daaaad these movies. they are gonna suck."

and they did. some where alright. some were cheesy enough to get through.

[melodyofwater.livejournal.com]

That.

Is exactly what happened to me.

You're not my sister in disguise are you. D:

NOT UNLESS YOU ARE MY SISTER IN DISGUISE. :O

^ Agreeing with ALL of these.

Also noting that if you guys watch the Peter Pan with Mary Martin when I'm not in chat, I'll...do. Something. I'm very menacing, guys.

[killmeloving.livejournal.com]
