I dislike these

I like to watch films alone (or with girlfriend at most)


not me


^^you soon


ohhhh

but i don't like people :(


I hosted one recently

we had taco's and watched the original Night of the Living Dead


I hate these.

People talk. I end up hating the people. They don't get Spinal Tap, then they make me watch a 7th rate Jet Li film.

BAD BAD BAD BAD


I'm such a film snob.

Films should be watched by me alone. ALONE! Then I'll check my Timeout film book to see what opinion I should have of the film, then I'll pass that opinion off as my own.


you gotta have mates who can shut up then.

Or at least folk who have no problem saying "dude, shut the fuck up"


I think it's more

that I need to have friends who have vaguely the same taste in films as me.


I used to do this regularly with a group of friends.

We'd take it in turns to secretly pick the film shown.


Me tonight

for my birthday... I'm making everyone watch Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat!


Nope

Street Fighter Van Damme version


Cartoon's better.

More gratuitous swearing.


Watched it

a few months ago with a couple of the people coming round tonight.

Doesn't it have an awesome line where M.Bison uses the word 'excrement'?

I'm all about the Van Damme-age at the moment, made everyone watch Hard Target a few weeks ago.


Not me,

most of my friends want to see crap films.


I think the worst text I ever received was:

"Hey, do you want to come round and watch [insert some crap Japanese anime here] with wine and houmous?"

I didn't bother replying.


Please tell me you

have friends called wine and houmous?


I wish


YOU DO WILLIAM

when?


maybe soon maybe

yeh


I don't bother anymore.

The last one ended with one friend falling asleep before the opening credits had finished.


most people like crap films

so its a shit idea really


i really want to do this more often

most recent one:

election
suspiria
beyond the valley of the dolls


Not one of my friends

would enjoy Suspiria... Tenebre is better though.


i haven't seen it

is that the official second in the trilogy? or am i thinking of something else?

word on the street is the third one is coming soon.


Inferno is the next one

and The Three Mothers is the new one... it's out in Italy (and I think the US) and it's meant to be a bit shit.

The Bird With the Crystal Plumage and Tenebre are my favourites.


noted.

i don't know nearly enough Dario Argento. i saw Phenomena the other week though, with the girl from Labyrinth in it. it was a bit shit.


It really is isn't it

that fucking soundtrack really doesn't help.


I can't think of anything worse

people would talk


...

I'm doing this soon. The film is Battlefield Earth. You in?


i am

you need people around you for this. its the film equivalent of a wake. for all humanity.


i'd expect nothing less than

running commentary and funny remarks throughout this film.


you know i am!

will this be soon?


...

It was gonna be this weekend, but Joey's away, so I'm going to save it for him. Week after perhaps?


My friends have an unsualy strong film taste

I'm glad they do such things, it's fun as long as we make it clear that if your going to end up talking then you should move room or stay at the back or something.


Nah

I wouldn't invite people around if I didn't want to interact with them in some way


quite a lot / when we can

its fun.


no

i'd like to. but, really, i wouldn't.


yes


i love these.

particularly with bad horror films, so it doesn't matter if people talk.

haven't been invited to one for ages though :(


you're invited when I do mine

no talking though


I dont like films

they are too long
