I feel the need to watch Monty Python & the Holy Grail sometime soon. Anyone else interested?

Your gentle correspondent, unbright in the first place, unemployed in the second place, and unsober in most every place, very nearly forgot that there’s a holiday coming up. Fortunately, his inner fat girl and his inner child have begun to smell stuffing and hear guilt trips on every easterly breeze. Which could only mean a family visit, an excuse to eat and drink until things almost seem merry, and—and this is the most awful part—days upon days of suburban nothing.

Including!

Conveniently!

A Saturday. Since at least one of us here intends to spend that Friday purging and apologizing, Saturday should be the perfect time to start making mistakes all over again with leftover wine (ha!), leftover food (HA!), and dearly-missed imaginary friends.

So. If you can attend, and/or have a movie idea (Thanksgiving seems like an unpopular film holiday, so maybe something autumnal? Stepmom? When Harry Met Sally?), répondez in the answers s’il vous plaît, or talk to @frigayfilms on Twitter.

Shall we?

And all of a sudden someone seems to have forgotten all about the Loser Movie Club…

All kidding aside, let’s do this, people… the Jets and the Sharks, bonding together over turkey leftovers and some good (or really bad :-) movie …

Check http://frigayfilms.tumblr.com/post/254080539 for answers…

I’m not going to be able to make 11/14 or 11/21 (and not sure about 11/28). Anyone else want to host or shall we just wait?

(that’s scary movies, not scary losers)

Ok so we absolutely have to watch a scary movie for Halloween, right?

Which one (Leave your answer here)?

ps — don’t forget we get an extra hour of sleep next week!

The Losers’ Book Club is meeting on the first Saturday of each month, starting on Saturday, October 3rd.

They’re going to read To Kill a Mockingbird and get together to chat about it online at 9pm Eastern Time.

Several people suggested:

1. We NOT have an overlapping movie on the same night

2. We watch the movie after we read the book (those of us who are reading the book)

Therefore, I propose that you join us in reading the book on October 3rd and then plan to watch the movie on Saturday October 10th.

• buy/rent it on amazon

• buy/rent on iTunes

9pm, Saturday, September 26th, 2009.

$11.49 on Amazon (order in 2 hours to get free Prime 2-day shipping) if you want to own it

$3/rent on iTunes

Or Amazon Rental $3

Reminder:

Join us here: http://losermovieclub.chatango.com/

Be ready to start watching the movie exactly at 9pm (official clock here: http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java )

Hey you people who don’t have the movie but want to join in: $3 to rent

The nice thing about iTunes is you can start watching before it stops downloading.

The bad thing about iTunes is that it seems to take a long time to download.

So don’t dawdle…

Ok, sorry for the late notice folks, but someone suggested Die Hard, and I’ve got it already, and so I like the idea.

As Mary said, it is all about me.

(Not really, but for the time being I seem to be the arbiter.)

Be ready to start the movie precisely at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time according to:

http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java

Chat here (I’ll probably be there around 8:30)

Follow it for announcements of future movies, etc.

I’m feeling a little “meh” about a movie this week. None of the movies in particular have jumped out at me, and there doesn’t seem to be a strong consensus towards something to watch.

badkitty suggested that we go back to once a month, which gives people more time to get the movie, more time to get the word out, etc.

The trade-off is that if it’s less frequent:

• we may get more people (which may be a good or bad thing depending on your preference)

• a conflict on “movie night” means you miss the entire month

• every week means you always know when the next one is / once a month means “When is the next one?”

• monthly means only have to find 12 movies a year rather than 52 ;-)

What say you (both about this week and how often in general)?
