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

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.

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
abraker
break ties with the bot

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...

the penguin planned this

we are mere pawns in big pingu's game

What are the 3 movies by the way?

Shrek, The King, and that anime movie about a pilot or whatever. I guess there can still be a shift in votes if people vote before the showing.
Tad Fibonacci
Reminder for those who are interested that it's almost time.

it's not that feasible for me to join in on movie night unless i want to see the sunrise so i can't really join in
Hydreigon
i suggest maybe we could try to have like different screening time of the movie, like one screening for asain countries and one for americas

that's way too much effort and I really don't want to keep watching the same movie twice.

Anyway, I'll post an update soon about the next screening.
abraker
I was asleep lol
YyottaCat
I wasn't there either.
Tad Fibonacci
Maybe we could vote for a time change again.
We could switch up the screening time several times to see which one works best.

honestly, I might just start doing it whenever it's easiest for me. Waking up at 4am for the last movie was really stupid. 0400-0800 is the best, so I'll probably start doing that from now on. Only two people showed up for 1200UTC anyway, so it's stupid to hold the movie at 1200UTC for all the people who had that for their best time available if they're not even gonna show up. The same amount of people are likely to show up during 0400-0800 anyways, so.

edit: fuck it, I'm changing it to 0400UTC
