NETFLIX PARTY #11 INTEREST CHECK

Last week, we fell just short of the five nominations we were looking for to justify holding a Netflix party, so we decided to try moving to a biweekly schedule instead.

We’ll once again be looking for comments from five people who plan to attend a screening scheduled for Saturday, June 13 at 10:15 PM EST (time and date negotiable if you ask nicely). If you responded last week and still plan to make it this week, please comment with a simple “I’m interested” (or whatever). We’re also looking for one more movie nomination (preferably from a person who didn’t chime in last week). Last week’s nominations will be carried over into this poll. The nominations were:

The Aerial [La Antena]

Buster’s Mal Heart

The Humanity Bureau

Sin City

Swiss Army Man

And now, the boilerplate rules:

You can nominate something you nominated before, but not something we watched in a previous party: so no The Platform, April and the Extraordinary World, The Bad Batch, Skins [Pieles], Under the Skin, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Enemy, A Ghost Story, Escape from the ‘Liberty’ Cinema, or Between Worlds. We’ll open it up to reader suggestions until we get five planning to attend and one more movie nomination, then put up a poll to vote on which movie to screen. Only films in Netflix’s catalog are eligible. We don’t have to watch a Canonically Weird movie together, but just for your convenience, we’re reasonably sure these are all the (previously unscreened by us) ones available on the service at the moment: Kung Fu Hustle (2004), The Lobster (2015), Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), A Serious Man (2009), Sin City (2005), Swiss Army Man (2016), The Wicker Man (1973), and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971). Feel free to nominate any of these, or ignore them in favor of other selections.

To join, you’ll need a U.S. Netflix account, a Chrome-based browser, and the Netflix Party extension.

    1. If Amy and Yves are in, I can’t miss it. (Of course, if Jake comes out of the wood-work…)

  1. I am interested! I would also like to submit Spike Lee’s ‘School Daze’ (1988) as another possibility.
