I resisted GoT until just before the last season because I didn’t think fantasy was my thing, but then I became addicted. I’ll put LotR on my list.They aren't quite as dark and adult as Thrones, but I really liked LotR and I'm not typically into fantasy. They are well worth checking out.
Theme for a future month: blockbusters that FBG film nerds haven't seen
a contagious idea!Seems like we might need the movie club more then ever. Maybe even a March double double feature?
Just started watching it. I’m in season 2. It’s interesting, but it’s not “must see” for me.I resisted GoT until just before the last season because I didn’t think fantasy was my thing, but then I became addicted. I’ll put LotR on my list.
If that's the case, might as well bail.Just started watching it. I’m in season 2. It’s interesting, but it’s not “must see” for me.
I think you have to at least wait until The Battle of Blackwater. If you aren’t in at that point, it’s a lost cause.If that's the case, might as well bail.
Mad Men is where it’s atI've never been able to handle long form TV because I usually end up switching to sports. I guess I'll see if that was the real reason
I guess. Just figure if someone isnt loving it by this point, season 5 and on might get a little rough.Ilov80s said:I think you have to at least wait until The Battle of Blackwater. If you aren’t in at that point, it’s a lost cause.
28 Days Later, Contagion, The Andromeda Strain, The Last Man on Earth, Outbreak...Ilov80s said:Seems like we might need the movie club more then ever. Maybe even a March double double feature?
I’m in for all of them. They cancelled my work for 3 weeks!28 Days Later, Contagion, The Andromeda Strain, The Last Man on Earth, Outbreak...

Hopefully I got most of everyone who has chimed in here. Sports are gone and social lives will be on hold. I added a couple questions to the poll here seeing if spending some more time watching movies and talking about them here is something people are interested in? Stay healthy everyone.
I may have to see how things are going, as the next few weeks could go either way for me. Looks like my city is shutting down schools through mid-April. So, I may have to take care of him during the day and work at night for the next month. I can split watching with my wife during the day, but she works for FEMA, so she's dealing with a bit more life and death stuff than me. So, I think I'm in for a long month.Hopefully I got most of everyone who has chimed in here. Sports are gone and social lives will be on hold.

Is your kid not interested in 70s art house cinema? Best wishes this month, it will certainly be an interesting one for us all.I may have to see how things are going, as the next few weeks could go either way for me.

That is for the people to decideToo soon for Contagion + 28 Days later?
(I can't joke in the other thread, plz don't ban me....)
Godspeed with the kids and thank you for all the hard work at the hospital saving our lives.Appreciate the offer, GB. But having 2 kids at home for the foreseeable future and working in a large hospital, my already busy schedule is about to go bonkers. Unless you wanna start discussing and comparing the intricacies of Doc McStuffins, Ninjago or Minecraft.
#### be getting real. Fast.Godspeed with the kids and thank you for all the hard work at the hospital saving our lives.
Yeah, I was just kidding with my list. I think we’d want something right now as far away from that stuff as possible.i can talk about anything, of course. if we make 'hang out' threads, i'm there. i got two 95yos to calm & protect, so i'm already going less nowhere than i already was
tellya, tho, i'm already sick of listening about contagion and it and the zombieverse was already pretty much a no-fly zone for me onscreen. so i dunno about that as a club subject. if we need more subjects, i'm sure each club member has a few flicks hey'd like others to see & opine upon

Ok, good. and it looks like we all agree. Having member nominated movies would be cool. As for alive watch, looking at TCM and they have a 10:30 Butch Cassidy this Saturday and an 8:00 PM Dial M for Murder next Saturday which could be fun options.i can talk about anything, of course. if we make 'hang out' threads, i'm there. i got two 95yos to calm & protect, so i'm already going less nowhere than i already was

I think for the live watch, it would be good to keep it light with a bad/MST3K type movieAs for alive watch, looking at TCM and they have a 10:30 Butch Cassidy this Saturday and an 8:00 PM Dial M for Murder next Saturday which could be fun options.
"Once Upon A Time In America" or "Hoffa"I think for the live watch, it would be good to keep it light with a bad/MST3K type movie
Any suggestions? I thought those movies while about serious topics, are actually pretty light and fun. Neither ever takes their serious events too seriously so I agree something kighter is better.I think for the live watch, it would be good to keep it light with a bad/MST3K type movie
I was looking at TCM or maybe HBO for next Saturday. I was hoping for something everyone has but I think Comcast got rid of TCM in some argument with Turner.Live movie would be cool. But I work nights so it would have to be on one of my (split) nights off - Saturday, Tuesday
I have Comcast and TCM, but I can’t remember if a special package I signed up for.I was looking at TCM or maybe HBO for next Saturday. I was hoping for something everyone has but I think Comcast got rid of TCM in some argument with Turner.
Next Friday at 10 TCM has Frankie and Johnny, a movie musical with Elvis as a riverboat gambler with Ellle May Clampett as his girlfriend. That has to be pretty bad.I think for the live watch, it would be good to keep it light with a bad/MST3K type movie

Nice. Sports movies instead of actual sports?Don Quixote said:To make up for the loss of the NCAAs, could do something like Hoop Dreams (on HBO Go) and Hoosiers, or something.
Thanks for what you do and good luck out there!Appreciate the offer, GB.

Right in my wheelhouse. I'm down.Thanks for what you do and good luck out there!
I will have to pass on the bolded, but if you are talking about the social commentary presented in PAW Patrol, we have a deal!
Oooo, that looks good. And I’ve only seen Dial M For Murder previously.The Man With No Name said:Saturday 3/21 on TCM
Bullitt 6 ET
Dial M For Murder 8 ET
Wait Until Dark 10 ET
Oreos for everyoneNice. Sports movies instead of actual sports?
Does Rounders count as a sports movie?? I could use some cheesy Malkovich.
It’s a great block and after those 3 is one of my favorite noirs, Elevator to the Gallows.Oooo, that looks good. And I’ve only seen Dial M For Murder previously.
