Well, the 2017 Cup is almost over. Thanks to everyone who's managed, voted, posted, or been involved in any way. But with this Cup ending... a new Cup is about to begin. What should we do for the 2018 Cup? So far on SCFZ we've done: 2015: Genre/Theme Cup, group RR then knock-out 2016: Directors Cup, group RR then knock-out 2017: Nations Cup, swiss system pairings (with different genre confines each round) I wouldn't mind another Directors Cup, but it also might be interesting to do something entirely new. What do you guys think? --- EDIT: Looks like discussion re: a 2018 Cup will be postponed a few months. But, starting in January, we will definitely be doing a movie club Edited by bure420, Dec 12 2017, 08:58 PM.

(^ that's an experiment playing with conventional narrative form - typically, a movie would be a 90 minute narrative feature with characters and a discernible plot; instead i have tinkered with the very form of cinema itself, in this emoji experiment, coming up with an extremely unconventional yet hopefully enjoyable commentary on form and diegetic components) |

How about a "movies that one member fanatically loves but no one other member has seen" cup? Hey, you asked us to brainstorm. I'm brainstorming. |

how about this: no themes, and managers can only select films they haven't seen. films don't have to be available in any format, and no one has to watch the films. also managers can select as many films per match as they want. single elimination. also, short voting period, like a few days. |

I propose that we simplify, strip all the nonessentials off the game-playing process. People sign up as managers, their responsibility is to provide a movie for the other players, each in turn, we spend a week watching and discussing each movie then move on to the next one. No muss, no fuss, no infrastructure, no stress. If you really want point-scoring and an eventual winner, people can rate each movie as they watch it and somebody can volunteer to keep track of the points allotted each manager, announce a winner at the end of the last gane cycle.

i really like this idea, but it seems more like a movie club than a cup. i don't think one precludes the other. i've been on other forums with a movie club, and it's a lot of fun. so why don't we get that going? who's in? sounds like: Lencho wba bure javier? if we have at least 10 ppl interested in some sort of movie club, something like taking turns sharing a movie and everyone watching and discussing each movie for one week, i will start one up asap but, in addition to this, since it will take no work pretty much, i am willing to organize a cup. are people still interested in that, if we do the movie club too? or have cups maybe run their course on scfz? interest has been waning in the current cup over the past couple months... |

sorry, might be my reading comprehension, i can't figure out what you mean exactly. finish this cup, and hold off to starting the movie club sorta thing until the new year? or finish this cup, and hold off on deciding whether to do a movie club idea or another cup or both until the new year? |

when everyone signs up, i'll randomly order the list and we'll go in that order. if people join later, they'll be added to the list. once you pick, you go to the end of the list i like kanafani's idea of "movies that one member fanatically loves but no one other member has seen" but maybe that's a bit severe. and hard for some people to find movies they truly love that fit that description, because not everyone has seen a ton. what about films picked having to have under 1000 votes on imdb? or something like that? what's a good number, if we decide to go that route, is to what i'm getting and what i'm trying to ask movie club: Lencho wba bure FLABREZU javier? rischka? |

I think that as long as people are conscientious about picking movies that few of the other players have seen, there's no need to set a number. EDIT: I would, for example, feel justified in running Güeros in this game; 2500 views on imdb, but only two people here at SCFZ beside myself have seen it.

how about each manager chooses a film critic they like and limits himself to their well-liked films, posts a link or two to the critic's remarks or interviews etc, and we vote accordingly. We all learn shit about the film, reading a film sort of how the critic read it, interjecting our own opinions on both critic and film as commentary we put on SCFZ, and vote. Brainstorming, I'd like to get involved with the critiques you boys and girls read or have read which have to do with films while I watch a notable film they're speaking of. It might be more difficult to find gems with commentary, but maybe not. Some critics are smart as hell. Some are philosophers in their spare time. Some are dull as toast. Some write like a dream but are full of shit. Some are artists in their own right (write). My brain has stormed, if somewhat lazily. |

Languages may be a problem, and perhaps some of the other parts of this site already do what I'm talking about. But maybe it would bring about more interest in writing about films among ourselves. An ongoing theme we seem to butt against. |
