Fifth Element, Feb 20th, 9pm Eastern Time
For those of you not planning to attend the Richmond Tweetup on Saturday, I recommend that we gather together to watch The Fifth Element since (as WifeOfTJ observed) it seems to keep popping up around here lately.
$10/$3 on iTunes
(Also available at Amazon to buy or watch instantly.)
Our local Wal-Mart apparently had it on DVD for $5.

Saturday, November 28th: Making Fun out of Nothing...
danielsh:
frigayfilms:
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...
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?

Read a book, Watch a movie (To Kill a Mockingbird)
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:
We NOT have an overlapping movie on the same night
We watch the movie after we read the book (those of us who are reading the book)
Therefore,...

Be ready to start watching the movie exactly at 9pm (official clock here: http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java )
Die Hard available on iTunes
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…
2009-09-19: Die Hard
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:

This Week & How Often (a two-fer question)?
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:
...
If we are going to do another one of those movie...
yayaa:
Because I love that movie. Basically.
Oh, as far cult classics go, Heathers definitely needs to be on the list…
What makes a good movie for the Loser Movie Club?
It seems like we’re getting two kinds of responses:
Classics/Cult Classics/Quotable Classics: (Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, Blazing Saddles, 2001, etc)
“Movies that I really liked and want other people to see”
I’m in favor of both, but my guess is that for the “chat and watch” format, #1 will work better. That’s certainly the “thread”...
Patrick Swayze night?
So, Loser Movie Club people:
Shall we choose a Swayze movie for this week?
If so, which one?
Movie suggestions for 2009-09-19?
Let’s hear ‘em folks…
We had talked at one point about alternating between a serious movie and a not-serious movie… however, to make up for Blazing Saddles I think we’d have to watch Schindler’s List or something, so maybe not that much balance.
Please note:
All previous votes have been thrown out, so if you want to suggest a movie, throw it up here.
Suggest more...
Blazing Saddles: Sept 12, 2009 @ 10:00 p.m....
We got a few suggestions (see below), but the clear winner seems to be Blazing Saddles
