The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Movie Night - January 2010.

[The Schofield Kid]

EDIT(11/09/2009) This has been postponed till January 2010. I modified this post to change the date on the topic title.


OK, this is highly unusual since we haven't had this month's movie night yet, hell we haven't even decided what we're seeing this month yet.

Anyway, D'Amb & I have made an excutive decision, (hopefully Brendan & KC don't mind) that if we can get enough people interested and can work out a suitable starting time for everyone, our movie night in November will be The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

This is going to take sometime to work out and it's the main reason I'm starting this thread now.

Things we all need to agree on:

The Date

The Starting Time

Which version of the DVD we'll all be viewing

How many intermission we'll need

There's probably some other things to discuss, so if you have any questions please ask.

For this to go ahead, it will depend on participation.

So who interested and what DVD version do you have and your preferred starting time?

[The Schofield Kid]

At the moment the only dates that aren't good for me are, November 7/21 & 28.

The last few movie nights have started at 6:00am for us down under, & since we're now on daylight saving time, an hour earlier will still be 6:00am.

I only have the new extended version DVD.

I was thinking maybe 4 or 5 intermissions for this film. Maybe a couple of 5 minute breaks before a long 10-15 minute break halfway through before another couple of short breaks in the second half.

[Lin Sunderland]

I am OK on the 14th and any of the Sundays.

I have the 'Special Edition' running time 2 hours 51 mins.  It is a two disc version.

The intermissions sound fine to me.  2 breaks then a longer one to make coffee etc. and then two more short ones.   I guess we should start earlier if we can as it will be very late for the folk in Europe if we start at 10 pm. our time.

[The Schofield Kid]

I think the starting time is going to be the big stumbling block.

If we start earlier than normal, and we really do have to for an almost 3 hour movie, it will be early evening in Europe, early afternoon in the states and early morning down here.

[Lin Sunderland]

It depends on how many people based in Europe will be joining in.   As for me I don't mind what time we start, but satu, Higgy and AB will probably not want to be too late finishing.   I am quite happy to go along with whatever time is best for the majority.

Perhaps we could consider changing the day/night to a Friday or Saturday? The starting time for me isn’t a problem so if we need to bump any which way is fine.

[Aline]

Sorry if the question is silly, but are you planning this to the next movie night already or it just in November?

If it is, is fine by me starting earlier than the usual time.

My DVD version is the one with 161 minutes .

I can't only on Saturdays

[The Schofield Kid]

Sorry if the question is silly, but are you planning this to the next movie night already or it just in November?

Not sure what you mean Aline?

We're still having a movie night this month.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly will be our movie night in November.

[D'Ambrosia]

Maybe on a Friday?

[The Schofield Kid]

If everyone was happy to go with a Friday night, it would be ok.

[Southern cat]

I think Aline is asking the question...is there no movie night in October? Which I  was thinking the same thing.

So SK we are talking about 2 movie nights in the next 2 months and planning same? Planning a GBU will obvisiously take alot longer, so that's the plan.

BTW I'm pretty sure I've got both versions of GBU.

GBU will be an awesome night/morning.  I can't wait.

[The Schofield Kid]

Yeah, we're still having a movie night this month.

I started a seperate thread to discuss having The Good, The Bad & The Ugly in November so there wouldn't be any confusion, and I knew it was going to take longer to organize than normal.

Sorry for the confusion folks.

Yes, it's was confusing because those two threads are very next to each other and many people are changing/replacing their votes by GBU in the thread "Nominations For Movie Night: October 2009". 
If it is really going to have a GBU movie night in November, let's give a chance to the other movies.

Yes, I think it could be on a friday.

[The Schofield Kid]

Does anyone have a problem if we do this on a Friday Night?

I was thinking it might be the best for this film since it's going to be a late finish for our members in Europe.

[Southern cat]

Nope not unless I'm working.

Fridays good for me if I can plan in advance...

[Aline]

For now yes, although it's a little risky confirm it so ahead of time

[-satu-]

Friday is fine for me, but I have no idea what version of the dvd I have.  Special Edition? My dad has it, so I can't check right now.. But this one I actually have for sure and I can participate this one. And I'm so glad we're finally doing a western. 

[The Schofield Kid]

OK, let's plan for a Friday Night in November to watch The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

The available dates are November 6, 13, 20 & 27.

The only date which is out for me is the 27th, all others are good to go.

[Aline]

6, 13 and 20 are good for me.
