Movie Night At The Movies Reminder – Monday, June 8th @ 9:30 PM EST

June 5, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

It’s on.  It is so on.

This is just a friendly (for now) reminder that the movie night at the movies discussion will take place this comming Monday night.

The film is Casablanca.  Perhaps you’ve heard of it?  There’s still plenty of time to watch it this weekend, and of all films, this one should be easy to find.

Again, the disussion will take place on Monday, June 8th at 9:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.  That’s local time, for all you new yorkies.

Happy viewing!

Movie Night At The Movies – I Think I’ve Finally Come To A Decision Which Leaves Us With Not So Much Time

June 2, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

First, sorry for the delay.  No excuses here.  Just an apology.

Second, Casablanca.  I felt more shame for having not seen this than I did desire to see On The Waterfront.  I’m still going to try and watch them both this upcoming weekend and prepare a compare/contrast essay.  Ambitious, yes.

Third, the Chatzy discussion was scheduled for next Monday, June 8th @ 9:30 PM EST.  Is this enough time for everyone?  Shall I push it back?  And if not, plan on movie nights being rescheduled after this month, as Monday nights are no longer as available to me due to the new job.  Damn.  There’s the excuse.  If Monday no longer works for everyone, how about the following Thursday, the 11th @ 9:30 PM EST?  Now that Grey’s Anatomy is done for the season, I’ve got a free night.  Feel free to ridicule.

Movie Night At The Movies – Dead Heat

May 27, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

Neck and neck, I tells ya.

Normally, I guess I’d just decide the winner, but I’m having a difficult time.  On one hand, I want to watch On The Waterfront.  On the other hand, I think I should watch Casablanca, and should feel shame for not having done so already.

Hrmph.

Help a panda out.  Keep those votes rolling in.  I’ll declare a winner tomorrow morning. Read the rest of this entry →

Movie Night At The Movies – More Votes Please

May 19, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

I’ll keep the voting open until next Monday.  All four of these films should be readily available anywhere, so it’s perhaps not so pressing as it would be with the foreign films.

So far, here’s the breakdown:

Casablanca: Three votes.

On The Waterfront: Three votes.

North By Northwest: One vote.

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid: One vote.

Wence, I’ve yet to appropriate your vote, because I, even reading your comment again, could not figure who the hell you were talking about.

And remember, the Chatzy film discussion will take place on Monday, June 8th @ 9:30 PM ESTRead the rest of this entry →

Movie Night At The Movies – Dead Legends

May 14, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

Movie night is growing!  We saw a 300% increase in participation this month!  At this rate, this feature will be more popular than Leonard Maltin in no time!  Thanks to all who participated and contributed.

And Virus, for your heroic effort in saving those burning orphans, you shall be forgiven. Read the rest of this entry →

Movie Night At The Movies Reminder – Tomorrow Night @ 9:30 PM EST

May 10, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

Here’s your last reminder!  There is still time!

The film is Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima mon amour.

The Chatzy discussion will take place tomorrow night, Monday, May 11th @ 9:30 PM EST.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to acquire the film, you might be out of luck.  Unless you’ve got an open spot at the top of your netflix queue.  Or your library is indeed amazing.

Looking forward to the discussion!  Be there or don’t!

Panda Night At The Movies Reminder – Monday, May 11th @ 9:30 PM EST

May 6, 2009 in Pandasmoker, Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

It’s true!  Pandas love foreign films, even though they care not for subtitles.   Reading is too toilsome for a panda.  But viewing moving images on a screen brings pandas much joy.

Let us all share in panda joy, and meet in the Chatzy room to discuss such joy on Monday, May 11th @ 9:30 PM EST.

Also, if the poster to the left is not fair enough a reminder, the film the pandas have picked is Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima Mon Amour.  It’s got love, it’s got sex, it’s got atomic bombs!  What else does an entertainment seeking panda need?  Maybe some bamboo snacks.  Delicious.

Speaking of said poster to left and looking at it now, Emmanuele Riva does somewhat resemble a panda.  Joy!

Movie Night At The Movies Reminder – Monday, May 11th @ 9:30PM EST

April 27, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

If there were just one word to describe the action of rubbing ones palms together in excitement while grinning ecstatically, I would put that word here.

Two weeks from tonight is Movie Night, and the film we will be viewing and discussing via Chatzy, if you all recall, is Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima Mon Amour.

I’ve also discovered that the link I posted to stream this movie doesn’t work in the United States.  So check your local library or video store or push it to the top of your Netflix queue, whatever you’ve got to do to see this film.  Or just show up to the film discussion drunk and pretend you watched it.  I doubt anyone would know the difference.

That date again is Monday, May 11th @ 9:30PM EST.  Happy viewing!

Movie Night At The Movies – Voting Closed, Film Chosen

April 15, 2009 in Wordsmoker Movie Night At The Movies!

The polls are closed (although bribes are still open and encouraged) and the votes are in (for now; bribes pending).  We had an overwhelming increase in the voting, up more than 400% from last month with a grand total of ten and a half votes (even though two don’t count and three were against a film)!

Here’s the break down: Read the rest of this entry →
