Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
Oooh I meant to check out this show after being blown away by Essie Davis in The Babadook. Is there a legal way for Americans to watch it other than physically buying the dvds (i.e. is it streaming anywhere/on youtube)?

(I did not love the book Cloud Atlas but I will watch the movie if there's a lot of Hanksian exasperated yelling)

Oh oh looks like someone forgot that Wednesday is a day of the week. Oh well, no movie today.

....if you must get a Hanks fix today, there appears to be a wealth of Bosom Buddies episodes on youtube.

So sorry about the delay on Cloud Atlas! I was unexpectedly in an area where I couldn't get a signal for most of yesterday. Post is up here.

SPIRIT OF 99 PHASE TWO
carsonb & The Whelk, I'm happy to help out with the posting/scheduling if you'd like. Can do Tuesdays or Thursdays (or whatever, as long as it's only once a week).

Or The World is Not Enough, maybe? Aren't there usually some Bond marathons on tv around the holidays?

A Year's Worth Of Movies?
10 Things I Hate About You! 10 Things I Hate About You! 10 Things I Hate About You!
posted to FanFare Talk by troika at 12:06 PM on September 15, 2014
This is a wonderful idea and I'm all for it.

Would they be random order? Grouped by some sort of theme (10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That, for example, are both classic literature stories adapted into teen romantic comedies)? Posted the same week the movie was released?

Horror Club Planning: Halloween Extras
Night of the Creeps! Can't wait.

How about some Oceania-set horror, like Black Sheep or Dying Breed, for one of the recent films?

Robin Williams movie series
I would imagine that joining in the existing thread would work? I was under the assumption that FanFare threads, like music threads, never close.

I'd like to see Mrs. Doubtfire included in the retrospective.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Meatballs, let's do that next week. One Crazy Summer looks great, it's on amazon instant video for rental too. If we wait until August 19th that should folks have enough notice to get it from the library or netflix-by-mail too. Stand By Me is a perfect choice.

August 5: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything
August 12: Meatballs
August 19: One Crazy Summer
August 26: Stand By Me
September 2: ?… [more]

August 5: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything
August 12: Meatballs
August 19: One Crazy Summer
August 26: ?
September 2: Stand By Me

MeFi Horror Club: New Rotation Slot Idea
HALLOWEEN III PLEASE

If we can't have Night of the Creeps, I mean.
posted to FanFare Talk by troika at 6:54 PM on July 31, 2014
I don't know how amenable the community would be to viewing two movies a week, but it could be cool to do an original and a remake in the same week and compare the two...though I guess that would require two separate threads, which sort of defeats the purpose. I don't know if there's a good way to pull that off.

Here's a slightly better thought out suggestion: atmospheric horror. So many horror movies involve gore and jump scares, what about movies that are more creepy. The Thing, Woman in Black, etc.

Murder, We Watched
I'm in, I've watched a wide smattering of episodes (whatever the hallmark channel was showing, basically) and am always up for more.
