This might sound a bit strange to you but I have a superstition about an artist, every time he's mentioned I know I'm on bad ground and I get out. Then I enjoy his music to myself. He's like my black cat, my scorpio black cat. I don't have superstition around anything else, just this. I thought I'd leave this in this thread as it's got friendly people who look in on it. His songs are very sad. So you won't hear from me for a while. Strange, I know.
*edit* What's weirder is I just saw him sitting with a cat in a picture after logging off and the next thing I browsed.

Hi guys
what happened to this thread and the film club?
@Satori @ezra and some other people I dont remember their usernames.

Some films are hard to get a hold of, especially now that the EU declared grey-area streaming illegal.

May I suggest, not being very versed in film history, that there is an open discussion about what to watch next? From the set up of this thread it looks like you have done most of the work, expecting the others to contribute, but they expected you to organise everything further, believing you had it all planned out already.

Hi @Ginny
@Satori really did the most to start the club, but I don't know why we stopped it after 5 movies,
After two years, though, I wanna start again.

So who's ready?
@Ginny are you? ^^

Greeting from Iran to your country where I really wanna be in this time next year <3

Gotta work on my BA, sry. I guess in a month I should have time to put thought to other films.

That is, if I do it, I want to be committed to it. You know?

This week should be Blade Runner cuz I just watched it again for the sixth or seventh time in my life.
2049 is gonna be awesome. Get hyped!

I never saw it, probably too young (and not my mum's style), I'd love to.

But not this week, damn. I still have two weeks for my BA thesis, and I still have a whole chapter to write and afterwards I have to have it bound before I can hand it in.
