SCFZ Movie Club, the rotating-projectionist game. Enrolled members take turns "screening" a movie, then we sip jug wine, eat stale crackers and pontificate to each other for awhile before the next one starts. THE PLAYERS: The starting lineup looks like this: Blue Soldier (Round 2, 3: no-show) Bure Flabrezu (Round 2, 3: no-show) Holymanm Javier Quintero Kanafani Lencho Mario Gaborovic Mauries Sacmersault WBA Anyone who wants to join can do so at any time. Announce your availability and your name will be added to the list above. Ditto for resignations. All SCFZ members are welcome to watch movies and take part in the discussions, of course; that's not restricted to the players listed above. "No-shows" are welcome to catch up on their missed contributions whenever possible; they should work out the details with Lencho if they want to slide back into the game. THE SCHEDULE: Bure will make the first movie available on or before 1/1/2018. People will watch it and discuss it in this thread for as long as it holds their interest. Erika Jayne will make the second movie available around the time that people begin discussing the first movie. I'm estimating that'll be 1/3 - 1/4 or thereabouts. Each subsequent curator will be expected to make their offering available around the time the discussion begins for the movie before theirs. As we get a clearer sense of the rhythm this process follows, we'll be able to fine-tune the guidelines for scheduling as needed. File-sharing links or links to online streaming resources (no pay-per-view) will be posted for each participants' movies on the Resources page. THE It's probably better to keep things clean, elegant and linear, and discuss only one movie at a time, holding off on the newest movie in queue until it looks like interest has died down for the one already under discussion. Allowing 24 hours of down-time after one discussion seems to fixxle out before beginning the next one seems like an easy way to ensure that. If it doesn't actually happen that way, it ain't no big thing. In terms of film-choices and the content of what each person provides, common sense will dictate a few factors that will make some movies less attractive to a large number of players. 1) Attractive high-res copies are preferable to murky shit that's being projected from the bottom of a fish tank. 2) Most people will not be willing to watch a movie in a language they don't understand. English (original soundtrack or subtitles) is the one language that everyone here is comfortable with. 3) The focus of the game is discovering movies that are new to us, so some effort should be made to select movies that only a tiny handful of players have already seen.

Mario, you know what would be good? If you could post your movie now and start your intro thread about 3-4 days from now, that would be good. |

Sacmersault's turn! A movie in the next day or two, and an intro/discussion thread a day or three later? That'd be good. |

Sacmersault hasn't been here since 3/11. nine days go, so I'm going to jump over him and go to the next person on the list. If/when sacmersault comes back, we'll fit him in hors de serie...

WBA's contribution marks our first run-through of the player rolls (give or take Sacmersault) -- do we want to do anything to mark that place in the game's proceedings, vote on a Round One favorite or anything like that? Sacmersault's slot is still open, if he chooses to play, and Blue Soldier's turn is coming up, probably somewhere around 3/28. I really don't think he's here anymore, though, so I'd suggest that Bure should be ready with a new movie to post for us somewhere at the end of the month.

Blue Soldier? Are you still here? We'll be ready for your movie on Wednesday or Thursday. Bure? If Blue Soldier has ghosted, it'll be you what is up at bat. |

Sacmersault? If you're here, a movie on 5/29 and a discussion thread on 5/31 would be aces. WBA? If he's not here, a movie on 5/29 and a discussion thread on 5/31 would be aces. |
