July Suggestions

[Foxbat]

Time to put on those thinking caps and figure out nominations for July. The usual poll will be run nearer the time

[philoSCIFI]

I didn't see a suggestions thread for this month or Sept. But whichever month we're on my suggestions are:

Galaxy Quest
Goonies
Donnie Darko
Metropolis (1927)
Empire of the Sun
Snakes on a Plane
Mirrormask
Superman Returns

I'm kind of new here. So, if I'm in the wrong thread/area/etc. feel free to do your magic.

Hey yeah, Superman Returns might be a good idea, I'm sure people have differing opinions on the film.

[Foxbat]

Due to lack of interest, The Film Club is, as they say nowadays, 'on gardening leave' .

Right now, with the major expansion that has gone on around here, we are playing things by ear. If an interest is shown by enough people sometime in the future, the Film Club may return.

And a warm welcome to you philoSCIFI. I hope you enjoy your stay at Chronicles.

[philoSCIFI]

Awww, that's unfortunate. I'm sure there will be interest in the Film Club in the future, if not in the near future... soon enough. In the mean time, is it still cool to list a bunch of movies in this thread... until something pops up of course? *should probably head to the specific film threads*

Thanks Foxbat, appreciate it. And I already am...

[Foxbat]

Hopefully the increase in membership with the recent merger might spark a bit of interest and we can resurrect the Film Club again. In saying that, it had pretty good run of a couple of years. Everything has its sell by date but I think two years is pretty good.

By all means feel free to use this thread but I think you might get more folk reading it in the film or general media forums. Be sure to read the guidelines before you post (we are still in a period of transition with the recent Ascifi merger so things are still a wee bit untidy).

Either way, have fun

I am new as well, I think the film club should be brought back and I hope it is, I think its a good idea.

I have some good nominations for when it may happen

I'm with violentshadows - as a newbie, I'd be interested in a resurrection of this film club idea ("She's alive!"...)

I used to be part of an actual (as opposed to virtual) film club at my old place of work. We went to the cinema once a week & weren't restricted to SF films. I was an active member (& eventually film selector), so I was sad that it lapsed about the same time I left the company. An online version, where I can discuss my favourite genre of movies would be very interesting.

As a new member I was disappointed to find the film club off on their hols. If they ever return I would love to join in the discussions and my head is just bursting with ideas and opinions lol.
