Why is there no longer interest in the Film Club?

Re: May suggestions

Some of share your interests Lacey, maybe not to the same degree as you though.
Also, certainly not in old ladies clothing.....:rolleyes:

I apologise for my post Ravenus.

heh, no apologies called for.

In fact in way I too was venting because I have this constant anxiety that most people respect books as imaginative and idea-filled works but are not willing to accord the same respect and attention to films, wanting them to be either light entertainment or slavish copies of literrary sources they're adapted from.
 
Re: May suggestions

I personally would like to focus discussion on the currently booming Korean film industry but I do not see this discussion interesting enough of our film buffs. At the moment I feel quite alone in a lot of my interests.

I recently watched a Korean movie called Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring. If you haven't already seen it then I highly recommend it to you. As you say - probably not worth nominating just now but perhaps in the future:)

I'm sorry guys! I didn't realize why we were nominating movies. Goonies seems a little beneath what is intended.

I actually like this idea. I haven't seen Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring (what a title) sounds good to me! I enjoy a good movie and then a good conversation about it. :)
 
June Suggestions

Spring is in the air. The birds sing from the tree tops, Deer prance through the morning dew and it's time to think of your choices for the June poll.

Please stick all your suggestions here and face the new warm air with a happy face:)

Hmm doesn't so much fit into the SF/horror/fantasy bracket does it...other than the CGI stuff which anyway is not the main point of the book?

My choice...a theme...screen adaptations of stories by Philip K. Dick
 
Re: June Suggestions

Nosferatu in the movies...Symphony of Terror (Murnau), The Vampyre (Herzog) and Shadow of the Vampire (Merhige)

Any of the individual movies would also be fine

Also Total Recall
 
Re: June Suggestions

We're a bit thin on the ground this month so I'll stick in my two cents worth: Mulholland Drive (Lynch). Perhaps if this one is chosen somebody can explain to me just what is going on in this movie :D

I will stick up a poll in the next couple of days :)
 
July Suggestions

Please stick any ideas for July in here and we'll run the usual poll later:)
 
Re: July Suggestions

Another quiet month by the looks of it so here's my suggestion: Solyent Green
