I’ve never been involved in a film club but would it be fun to do a sort of watch party for a particular film every two weeks/every month or so?
Of course! Would you like to organize this? It would just require two type of threads
- week 1: decide a movie, let the thread run for a week
- week 2: give people a week to watch the movie, then create the thread afterwards
I would like to but I’m currently juggling a newborn and full time employment so it’s probably a bit more than I can handle. However I’d like to take part!
Congratulations with your baby!
Let’s see if someone else wants to organize this
Yeah I’d be down to participate, seems like fun. I love talking about movies, and it’s a good opportunity to get exposed to stuff you might not have watched otherwise.
Any ideas on what movies you’d want to cover?
I was hoping someone else would run it so that I could get the kind of exposure I don’t currently have.
There are a bunch of watch parties on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling. Usually, people all watch the movie at the same time and make brief comments (bc Mastodon is like Twitter, see?)
- Here on lemmy I post an announcement every Friday on [email protected] about the next “Monsterdon” watch party on Mastodon.
- see this calendar of Mastodon watch parties (WARNING: includes Bluesky, which has chosen the path of enshittification. Also, some of these watch parties may be dormant.)
edit: but yeah, it’d be cool to have a watch party here, where we could do “longer form” takes on things.
