NETFLIX PARTY #12

We’re going to go bi-weekly with our Netflix parties, at least temporarily, so this post will relate to a screening set for Saturday, June 27, at 10:15 PM. We’ll see if giving people a longer lead time will result in increased attendance. (Not that the dedicated core of rabid fans is a bad thing; smaller crowds have the advantage that everyone gets to know each other better).

The time is also negotiable. Some people prefer earlier screenings, some people (e.g., parents with children who need to be put to bed) prefer later. You can mention your preference in the comments.

We’ll be looking for five movie screening nominations from people who plan to attend. After we get the minimum five nominations and likely attendees, we’ll put up a poll.

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, Between Worlds, or Buster’s Mal Heart. Only films in Netflix’s U.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. My usual—La Antena

    I believe An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn will be on Netflix by the time this one happens. So I’ll nominate that, too.

    1. Be warned, Yves: “La antena” has been rated ‘MA’ on Netflix for two mind-bogglingly idiotic reasons.

      (Which, fortunately, does not diminish the fact that it’s a rather good movie.)
