Despite a last minute date change, we still had people show up for the Enemy screening yesterday, so let’s see about week 8.
We’re asking for nominations for a movie to watch partly because we love making polls, but mainly as a means to gauge interest. If we get five suggestions from people planning to attend, then we’ll know it’s worth hosting.
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, or Enemy.
We’ll tentatively set aside May 16 at 10:15 PM EST for this one. If you have feedback suggesting a different start time we’ll listen.
Just like previous weeks, we’ll open it up to reader suggestions until we get five or more candidates, 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: 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), and The Wicker Man (1973). 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 (Brave works) and the Netflix Party extension.
Make your nominations in the comments below.
How about Immoral Tales (mature!), A Ghost Story, or the new documentary Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics?
“The Humanity Bureau”, of course.
“The Humanity Bureau”, of course.
(And forgive me if this is a double post–something strange happened with my browser.)
…Yep.
How bout The Lobster?
Wicker Dude please
Let’s get one more. (I’d throw one out but I’m not sure I’m going to be able to personally attend).
I’ll throw Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997) into the pot.
OK, I’ll put those into a poll along with any other suggestions that come in between now and tomorrow morning.
