There really aren't any rules... just "guidelines".

Keep in mind that there are bound to be people that might not have seen the movie you pick on any given day, but that should not affect your decision of what to pick. But for all intents and purposes, THE ASSUMPTION ON EACH OF THESE THREADS IS THAT THE POSTERS HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE!! So, enter at your own risk if it happens to be something you haven't seen and don't care to know some of the major plot points. There's nothing wrong with spoiler tags, either...

Movies can be any genre, any time period. Keep in mind, though, that many people might not have seen movies that had just been released the week before. One strict guideline will be that you cannot choose a movie that has not been released yet.

You can also be creative and theme your weeks--for example, who wants to bet that mdamien13 will do a "Horror Week"??

The great thing about this is that not only can it produce great conversations, but it can convince people who haven't seen the movie to actually see it. It doesn't hurt when you pick huge movies that everyone has seen, too (i.e. just wait till Chandler Mike picks Two Towers).

ADDENDUM: No movie series in a single day--just single movies.
ADDENDUM: There is no rule for number of movies in a single week. You can pick 1 on Monday and none the rest of the week, but then you can also do one every day for a total of 7--it's up to you.

I think Chickler Mike will pick Chick Flick Week - Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Fried Green Tomotoes, etc.

I just might pick some of those...

Idea: If each week's leader can post the 2-3 movies he will be discussing that week on the previous Friday, that will give the posters an opportunity to either watch for the first time, or refresh their memories on the movie.

Yeah, that wouldn't hurt.

Of course, that's assuming everybody knows going into it which movies they're going to pick...

 

[Shane]

Well I definately have time to think of the movies I would like to discuss. Hopefully come time all the movies I would like to discuss havent already been discussed!

See above addendums (in bold)

Seems to me that this suddenly became a list of "rules" instead of guidelines...

If you're gonna tell people what they can and cannot post, you're gonna have to change it to a list of rules, that's all.

Why don't you take it one step further and ban me.

It is called the "RULE THREAD", isn't it? I didn't want to call them "rules" because I'd get posts like yours in response. SO much for that...

 

[FischerKing]

fellas...either of you ever give a man a foot-massage?

Lovely, let's pull out the "ban me" card everytime I have a little disagreement with you, ugh.

There shouldn't be rules anyways, I thought this was fun...we get to pick a movie each day, so let us pick what we want...if there is a governing body deciding what we can and cannot pick, then it loses some of its fun...

Let me know if you don't want to do your week, I'll remove you from the schedule.

Oh, and one other thing: LEARN WHAT SMILEYS MEAN!!

BIM/Shawn, will you please tell Mike what smiley's mean?

I know what a smiley means, but that statement just sounds like something you'd say anyways, or have said before to me...

And if things are going to be this "fun" when picking out my movies, maybe I'd better be taken off the schedule...

Man, you are the biggest baby I've ever seen!

Just because you couldn't do the entire Star Trek series in one day?? LOL

 

[FischerKing]

How about half the series day one and the other half the second day?

Yes, I am a baby...cause I really wanted to talk about them.

And I'm sorry for my insulting comment.

Ok, Mike. Here goes.

On an internet message board you may say whatever you want to directly to another poster, no matter how disgusting, sarcastic, insulting, degrading, humiliating, aggressive, damaging, harmful, idiotic, assinine, ridiculous, or just plain ignorant and it is perfectly okay as long as you remember to place a little smiley emoticon after such comments.

But, seeing as you have no life, you likely knew this already.

Hey guys,

I'm actually going on vacation (ironically to Phoenix, of all places), and might not have the access I have had, so I might not be on the boards all that much. Hopefully Ken will forgive me for that, and I'll try like hell to try to check.

Mike, if you can go ahead and take "Sticky" duty, that would be great, normally I'd do it...

Fear not Chap, I have not been on much lately. I will do my best to come through on the "Movie-A-Day" threads...
