Big news, people. We're going to try to launch a movie club here at Toonzone, on the AniGen board!
The idea popped up first in "The Neverending Post" on the Batman Beyond Board. We were comparing lists of favorite movies, and discovered that many of us had favorites that others had never seen, and in some cases never heard of. And some of us got really curious to see those other movies.
Mainly, we want to discover new movies, films we've never seen and might never have seen, except for the recommendation of our fellow board members. For that reason the club will focus not on films we've all seen and loved, but on fresh experiences. I can't promise that everyone will love every movie, but no matter what it should be eye-opening!
Each week we will pick a new film, drawn from a list of favorites submitted by members and, much in the manner of a "Fresh Question," submit it for discussion. During that week participants will watch the film, and then post responses to it: observations, critiques, reviews, and responses to others' critiques. And since we'll have something like an organization behind it, we should have a reason to go out and look at something, instead of just randomly catching a new feature down at the multiplex and hoping that someone else at TZ caught it too.
To see the official notice and explanation for the new club, go to the "Toonzone Movie Club" thread (an "Important" one) on the AniGen board.
