Movie discussion group. Let's discuss!
Hey y'all,
The movie discussion group has finally been floated. The purpose of this group is to share our thoughts on films that we all love. We will take one film at a time and pose discussion questions to each other so we can recalls our views and opinions on these movies.
Before we get started, I have a few questions on form and content of this group that I would like your opinions on.
1. What name would you suggest for this group. We could simply term this "Movie disussion group" or "Movie discussion club" but I am open to having a snazzier title. Please do share whatever ideas you may have to name this group.
2. How would we choose movies? Are you open to watching new movies (in which case we might have to opt for Amazon instant video or DVDs) or do we only want to choose movies that we have all watched, OR a mix of both? If the former, we can all propose names of movies that others may not have watched and we can choose one that we all want to watch and discuss. If the latter, we can give extended lists of movies we have watched and want to discuss, and I couple the movie/s that belongs to all (or almost all lists). I am also open to open ways in which we could choose movies?
3. What exactly will we discuss about these movies? The most practical option I have in mind is that one person will serve as the "curator" for each movie and pose a set of discussion questions on the board of the movie. These could include questions about the movie's theme, technical aspects (music/cinematography, etc.) or any other interesting questions about the movie (for e.g. which performance did you like most in the movie). Obviously we will respond to each other's posts, and could even pose other questions in the thread on an informal basis. Alternately, we could all post discussion questions in that thread and answer questions posed by each other. I am a bit reluctant to have a non-formal structure where in we just open a thread and share whatever opinions we have about the movie, but I am open to discussion about that.
4. About future membership about this club: Obviously, we have been selective in our invitations to begin with. How would we go forward with increasing our membership? Should any member have the freedom to invite whoever they want to this group, or should someone take a decision on this? Obviously, me or MoviemanCin have just started this group and will have no special rights in it. Also, if someone notices this thread, and wants to contribute in that thread or join that group right away would that be ok?
Do share your opinions guys! I hope this will be fun!
