BadMovies.org Netflix streaming movie night?

Jack · September 27, 2010, 07:27:52 AM

I thought it might be kind of fun if a bunch of us watched the same movie on the same night (or at least the same weekend), and then posted our comments / ripped it to shreds afterwards. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to choose something that's available on Netflix streaming, since you wouldn't have to actually go out and rent or buy it. We could vote on which movie to watch; who knows, we might get exposed to stuff we wouldn't normally watch. Or maybe you could inflict some pain on your fellow members

Kind of sucks for people who don't have Netflix, but if anyone thinks this is a good idea and doesn't have streaming, maybe they could start their own movie night.

So, any takers? Please feel free to suggest a movie. Maybe we could schedule it for this coming weekend?

Sounds cool! I'll do it! I'll think about movies and times.

wonderful!!!
[but actually I don't know what is Netflix]

for the choice of movies,
is it better to choose some haven't mention/reviewed in badmovies org?
I think those classics [Gymkata, For Your Height Only, Flash Gordon]
people hang around here mostly watched them......

or make them suffer once again? HAHA

I'd be keen except we can't get netflix streaming in this country.

BUT, it sounds essentially like a book club: we all watch a movie over a weekend or something and give a good discussion about it afterwards.

You know, discuss how it makes us feel emotionally, and the subtext and stuff.

[or just hang s#$t onto it if need be.]

Sounds like a great idea to me. I'll watch anything

Good idea, Jack. I'll just throw this out as an invitation: the next bad movie I'll be watching on Netflix streaming is THE APPLE (1980). It's a "classic" I've never seen before and it just became streamable.

I'll watch it on Saturday, whether anyone wants to join me or not!

I laugh so hard I almost choke by my laughs........

Oh dead god that looks painful - I'm game!

My bad movie watching is largely limited by family obligations and a heavy work and school schedule, so I may not be able to catch this one, but goodness, The Apple looks amazing. I've never even heard of it. The one and only George Clinton helped with the music. I shall do my best.

Anyone else have an XBOX 360? With netflix you can get in a party chat and it puts you in a little movie theater with other people who are watching it. Then it will buffer the movie for everyone at the same time. Really kind of cool. If you have a headset you can talk to other people too and emote while in the little theater.

My friend and I watched Monsturd on it. Bad times.

Sadly, I don't.

I have a 360 and am more than willing to use the "Party" function with others on the board. I've yet to use it. Sadly, like Flick James, my movie watching schedule is extremely limited due to long work hours and such

Paquita · September 28, 2010, 10:09:48 PM

That sounds like fun! I'll watch THE APPLE! As long as we don't have to watch SPARKLE afterwards!

When Netflix offers a streaming client for Linux, I'd jump all over this.(**)

Until then, I'll have to put the flick in the queue and hope I watch it somewhere "near" the time selected.

(**) DRM is the devil..I want to legally watch movies I am paying to rent, not steal them and distribute them.
