Greetings!

Today I am announcing the officially unofficial Off-Topic Movie Night! Once a week, I will be hosting a movie watch party in the official Off-Topic discord server, OT!neus! I will be streaming the movie using discord's integrated streaming software, so don't worry about needing any video streaming services. You don't need anything except to be in the discord server!
OT!neus Discord Server

I would like to be at the very least a little democratic about this, so if you would like to participate, go ahead and fill out this poll so that we can figure out what works best for everyone participating.
Google Forms Survey

I will also be polling weekly to see what movie you guys would like to watch. Be sure to check this thread every week for the latest polls and updates!

Tad Fibonacci
I think we tried something similar a while back.
The stream was super scuffed so it wasn't enjoyable.

However we just played scrible.io instead and it was a lot of fun.

yeah, I think I joined in on that near the end of the session. I have good internet, so as long as the viewers internet is semi-decent, it should all work out.
clayton

Noob

GPR

Submit your movie suggestions here!
I will most likely announce the movie a day or two before the showing.

Be there or be square!
Hydreigon

Hydreigon
also are we restricted to picking only G-PG 13 rated movies, or can there be R rated movies as well?

I don't think R rated movies should be a problem. So I suppose it's fine.

Hydreigon
hmm alright, if you guys are cool with it.

but what movies should we try suggesting though, there are millions of choices we could pick, each in their own separate genre

I'm not going to be able to watch it at 8 p.m. :(

I’m gonna take the best suggestions from my poll and run a new poll a few days before the movie night.

I might have themed weeks as well. For example, horror week, Christmas week, studio ghibli week, etc.

If you can think of a better way to implement the choosing of movies, feel free to let me know. I doubt my method is anything near good.
abraker
pretty much what I was thinking. Make a poll for initial movies, pick 5 at random (or themed) for a second poll.

UPDATE!


I have gone through all of your movie suggestions! Surprisingly, you guys suggested a lot of good movies! Unfortunately though, I cannot include all of them, so I tried my best to included movies from a widespread of genres.

every single response except 1 or 2 said that 12 UTC works for them. I'll probably switch it up every now and than to give everyone a chance to join. 8UTC works for a lot of people too.

my sleep schedule is garbage, so I'm usually awake at that time anyways. West coast as well.

1200 UTC, so 13:00 in France...

Maybe 50% of chance I'll be missed...

lel, imagine if we actually watch Shrek for our first movie screening.



but in all seriousness, I havent watched all those movies except for wall-e and shrek, though all of them seem pretty gud


and 12 utc is like 8am here, so I have to wake up early for this lel, though if the movie is quite long, then I may be able to catch up to the screening
oh thank for the correction GPR


alright 8pm is good for me, have a lot of free time usually at that time

It's 12 UTC not 0 UTC, so it's 8 PM for you.

tsk tsk, I hope you learned your lesson.

also, maybe I shouldn't have included so many movies. since there's not too many people voting, there's a high likelihood of a tie lol

This thread makes me realise that I found a familiar thread a few days ago, but it was a decade year old.

Source: community/forums/topics/21154?

And guess what? The thread started on 12th December 2009. Coincidence, huh?

Hmm, to go or not to go...
