Paid Members DEF Posted April 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 Wouldn't it be best to put up a poll of the submissions (including where they would be viewed) and give it until tomorrow to announce which one is picked. Then everyone can get whatever's picked over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 9, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Hannibal Scorch said: For those that actually want to play along, the only sensible option is Snowpiercer for the first movie. Currently available on Amazon Prime. I will put a poll up in the first post Why is snowpiercer more sensible than Sebastiane? Sebastiane is an important taboobusting work by one of the finest avant garde film makers in history. Surely a film club is to watch challenging or important cinema and discuss the themes involved? Like a book club is. Or its not a club. It's a thread in which we watch whatever soapdish decides and sy if it's shit or not?

Paid Members waters44 Posted April 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 It’s probably better to have a poll of film choices rather then a deadline, no need for a deadline really, just post whenever you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 Also, I'd have thought most people would have seen Snowpiercer. I've seen it twice and although I think it's great, I don't really want to watch it for a third time. It would be better choosing films that the majority probably haven't seen, like Sebastiane or Blue Jean Cop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted April 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 Incidentally Blue Jean Cop is on youtube under the Shakedown title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I've seen Blue Jean Cop but I don't mind watching it again as it's a savage pastiche of the late 20th century judicial dialectic. Are we just sticking with Glickenhaus' earlier works, like Blue Jean Cop or Maniac Cop (his "cop" period) or looking at his controversial later output like Timemaster?

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 9, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks to the detective work of the group, we now have 4 choices. Polling closes tomorrow night, allowing the extended weekend to get the winning film watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DEF Posted April 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Just watching Sebastiane now. Just so you know the version on youtube doesn't have English subs. You can use the YouTube close caption function and you might get the gist. Alternatively it's on Amazon Instants BFI channel which has a 30 day free trial and is in HD with proper subs. Also available on the Internet Archive with subs. https://archive.org/details/Sebastiane Edited April 11, 2020 by DEF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 11, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2020 That link took a while to start playing but it does work. Just realised I saw a bit of this in Drama class about 20 odd years ago, so I was aware of it, but can't remember much so this will be an interesting revisit. How do we play this? Discussion from Tuesday, or shall we allow discussion / spoilers from now and people just post back here once they have seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think whoever finishes it first starts a new thread with full spoilers and people can jump in as and when. Then Tuesday the next suggestions start.

Paid Members DEF Posted April 15, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2020 So is there any point to doing new picks? Looks like Scorch and I were the only folk to watch the first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted April 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'll be honest, I assumed Sebastiane was a joke pick and nobody was gonna bother watching it. So I watched Snowpiercer instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted April 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2020 So it's a 'film I already want to watch club' now. Shit I do that all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
