Ok boys and girls...


Get your lightsabers out and your metallic bikinis on... we're having a MoFo Star Wars Weekend to celebrate The Force Awakens!!


It'll take place late November, so there's plenty of time to get people interested and informed of the event, and Yoda has said he will open the chatroom for the occasion.


I have spoken with our great leader, coincidentally, or not, named as Yoda... and we can use the chatroom like a kind of commentary thread.


This will be a timed and coordinated event over a 3 day period, starting on a Friday, and ending on a Sunday.



The actual dates are Friday 27th November for Episodes I and II...

... Saturday 28th November for Episodes III and IV...

... and Sunday 29th November for Episodes V and VI...


... in preparation for the December 18th release of The Force Awakens.



-----

Times are approximate, we can give or take a minute or two… there will though be a run up to the times on each day, a couple hours or so with everyone getting excited and stuff so the chances are you won’t miss the start times. Heh heh heh!

These times are British time, GMT, so please check your local time if you’re outside the United Kingdom or GMT times so you can gauge when to be here…

Friday 27th November
The Phantom Menace: 7pm till 9:15pm GMT
Attack Of The Clones: 9:45pm till 00:05am GMT

Saturday 28th November
Revenge Of The Sith: 7pm till 9:20pm GMT
A New Hope: 10pm till 00:05am GMT

Sunday 29th November
The Empire Strikes Back: 7pm till 9:07pm GMT
Return Of The Jedi: 9:30pm till 11:45pm GMT
-----



There will be a big lead up before the time we actually kick off... but around 7pm British time will be the kick off point, give or take a few minutes, so get the DVD player going.


Please check your local time for comparison as to when 7pm British time is to your own clock :)




It's a bit of an awkward one picking times as us MoFos are spread across the galaxy pretty well... so I picked 7pm British time, so that'll be the time.


So...

You'll need to check that yourselves guys... MoFos are spread over the planet... so you'll need to check your times with 7pm GMT (British Time) (Greenwich Mean Time)


There will be a big lead up though, I'd say a couple hours with a countdown so people don't get missed out.

It's an internet forum. Although it feels strange in Godog's case, the fact is that people join and leave forums all the time. It's quite unusual for forums to have people who are consistently active members for 10+ years. It's pretty unusual for a forum to even last that long.

Not to be a disagreeable ass, but those reviews are just micro-analyzing a film which wasn't meant to be analyzed that deeply - it's trying way too hard to find tiny errors which wouldn't be noticeable to anyone who hasn't watched the movies 50 times - while ignoring all of the problems in the original film that'd be equally valid if they were analyzed like the Shroud of Turin as well.

And hey, as mediocre as the Phantom Menace was compared to all the other films IMO - at least it didn't have Han and Lea walking out of the Millennium Falcon on an asteroid without space suits - or Leia knocking Stormtroopers in body armor unconscious with a simple whack to the chest with a branch; goofs like that from the original trilogy stood out a lot more than any single error in the prequels

The Red Letter Media stuff reminds me a lot of this YT channel, but at least this guy's being facetious:

Thanks for letting me know about this! I will most likely be in on this. I am not one who goes anywhere over the Thanksgiving weekend (nor do I care about Black Friday). So, I should be available. I am not too sure if I can do all of the movies at the same time as everyone else (based on my schedule), but as of right now (and I know it is far away from November), everything looks good for this. So, I will plan on being here.

I saw the trailer again when I was in theaters the other day. I don't know if this trailer was slightly different, at least it had some things that I hadn't seen before. Well, aside from the emphasis on "entertainment" and "epicness" over actually meaningful content, I think I actually for the first time felt a bit open to it. I was thinking of boycotting the film, but now I think I may actually try to enjoy it when it comes out.

I can't do video clips sadly :( I don't have the program for it.

I tried a 3D technique in Photoshop so when the images zoom, some of them look like they have depth.

If you guys are actually opening up THE CHAT ROOM for this, I hope Yoda (wink wink) seriously advertises this on the front page of the forum for about a week or so before it happens. So people will know ahead of time to make sure they have the movies and that the CHAT ROOM is opening up.

SilentVamp
11-06-15, 12:09 AM
7:00 pm your time is 1:00 pm my time. That completely works out. And when the movies are done each day, that still gives me the rest of those nights to work on getting the Christmas tree all decorated. That is what I usually do over the Thanksgiving weekend. So the plans all sound good for me. :up:

It was a bit of a task to pick a time tbh as I knew everyone was all over the place but it's better to have a schedule than being all random.

Yoda
11-09-15, 05:13 PM
I will definitely put up banners and the like to make it easy to find, yes! :) And updates the week of, to make sure nobody forgets/misses it.

Also, as a possible enticement: there's about an 80% chance we'll be using new chat software, as a dry run of sorts for the Oscars. Trying to find something relatively mobile-friendly and all that. It might be a little rough, but it should get the job done, and if I'm not sure it will, I can always switch back to the usual one to make sure everything still goes off without a hitch.

It's a multi-day affair, so I assume a lot of people will come and go, leave the chat open and pop in when they can (that's what I'm planning on doing). It looks like we will, indeed, get to use some new chat software that's mobile-friendly, so hopefully that makes it more convenient. This'll be a bit of a test run--if it goes well enough on the tech side, we might end up using it for the Oscars. So you'll definitely wanna check it out! :)

Yeah, it's exciting to finally be trying new stuff with the chat. In the short-term we'll miss the music and some of the more elaborate features, but:

I'm really afraid no one's gonna even participate much in this.

I'll probably be around (well, I'm always around) for The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

I've NEVER watched Attack of the Clones. I've seen little clips here and there, I think, but not much of it, I assume. So it will be my first viewing. I've seen the other ones, though.

I'm getting the impression that the original trilogy may be a bigger attendance with Sunday being the biggest with having Empire on the schedule.

Like I said before, my only really big thing I ever do over the Thanksgiving weekend is work on getting the Christmas tree decorated. So I am available.

I also said that I wanted to watch all of them before December 18. And I probably would do it, but there is always the chance that something else will distract me and I wouldn't get around to watching all 6. This is a good thing for me to do this weekend because I will be more committed to watching all of them for sure.

I haven't watched any of them for a couple of years (except for "Revenge Of the Sith" - it is on youtube). My re-watches of all of these are very long overdue. So this should be fun this weekend.

Let's see, Doritos and Pringles are two of the noisiest snack foods, a noisy Fizzy Drink, and smoke from Tobacco filling the room. Sounds like an ideal place to watch a long movie marathon. :skeptical:

I just had a troubling thought..........

Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader and all those other people.... they're not from Earth.......... they may look human, but they're not from Earth...............

THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE ALIENS.

Shouldn't we be more scared of them?

Good stuff. :up: Had fun, and the new chat held up well. Got some useful feedback--most I'll have to implement between now and the Oscars, but I might try to make some tweaks before tomorrow's. We'll see.

Either way, really had a good time. And really interested in seeing how the tone shifts when we finish the prequels. :D So far it's been mostly making fun of the dialogue and stopping briefly to talk about the moments we like in spite of it.

The Rodent
11-27-15, 08:20 PM
Def been fun. I really hope more of you guys participate, it's a ton of fun with only a few of us in there so hopefully with more of us and, as Yoda said, also moving onto the original trilogy, it'll be even more entertaining.


Please take part if you can... :up:

Yoda, will that chat room ever be available for normal commentaries, or is it strictly for special occasions?

Yoda
11-27-15, 08:29 PM
I'm open-minded on that. We've discussed using an official chat room for commentaries in the past, and I'd be cool with that; we'd need to schedule it, though. There's not enough interest to have it just open all the time (and moderating in there all the time would be a bit of work). But if people want to do commentaries, and they have a few others who are interested and don't mind giving me a heads up as to what time to open it, sure, I'd be cool with that. :)

I usually just jump in when other people start commentaries, but it's good to know that the chat room might be available. It's so much better than having to refresh all the time.

Yoda
11-27-15, 08:33 PM
Yeah, it's a much more natural fit. I dunno how nuts people would be about having to formally schedule it, but I'd do my best to make that part simple and painless, at least. I think it's a good idea and I hope people give it a go. Especially once I've worked on the software a bit more.

Just long enough for me to get online and flick a few switches; I only mention it to emphasize that if it's spur of the moment, I might not be around quickly enough. If it became a regular enough thing I could give the regular commentators the ability, even.

I thought it was fun. It should be better for the original trilogy because the movies are better. Unfortunately, I probably won't be around for them because it's a busy weekend for me. Maybe Sunday if I'm lucky.
