Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK, this is an old idea of mine, from many years ago. Hopefully it goes well. All we do is take the new "theme of the week", choose an avatar, signature quote/quotes, and/or even a user-title, to match the theme. This isn't a test of any kind, so choose whatever you prefer.

We will each have a turn, according to where we are on the high post count of the member's list. Once everyone has had a turn, the list cycles again. However, as post count changes, and people come and go, I will alter the list. Right now, those who are interested in trying this are . . .

Attention:

No longer look at the list down below! Did you hear me? I said no longer look at the list down below!

Now, if you are not sure as to what I mean by theme, it can be anything from an actor, director, genre . . . but try to choose something with a little more range. Some examples would be Boxing, Vampires, Bank Robbers, Mothers, Supernatural, Football . . . You can find these characters in pretty much any genre.

Also, the same movie can be used by more than one person, as long as you choose a different character from it. Now, this is another one of the rules we did over yonder, but if you all prefer not to worry with it, and are OK with more than one person using the same person/idea, let me know.

That takes me to the last part. The new person was to choose their theme on Sunday. With it being the weekend, it made it easier for almost everyone to be on-line. With this board, I'm fine with the member having both Saturday, and Sunday, to post their theme. Almost everyone tried to be there that morning, just to get their favorite choices. I don't see that being a huge problem, here. I rarely ever showed up, because I loved sleeping, more. I still had an easy time choosing something.

If you all want anything different, or whatever, speak now. Caity chooses her theme this weekend.

Also, if for any reason you can't/don't show up by midnight Sunday night to name your theme, it rolls over to the next person. If you need to be switched, just let me know. That is easy enough to alter.

OK, I think that's it.

I'll use this one for keeping track, and altering.

OK, nebbit joined in, and will be first, of course. With 21,938 posts.

Nebbs, you can name your's whenever you see this. Your Saturday is pretty much here. You're probably in bed right now. I think I have your time down right. You should be roughly 14-15 hours ahead of me. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Now were just waiting. :)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK Star Trek series or the movies :yup:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Alright, I edited my avatar.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Got mine.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

How do you get in?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Just want to make sure these are a day right?

;)

Mines from the new movie!!! :yup:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'm rockin old school James T...

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'm showing some man cleavage. Why should Nebbs have all the fun?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I was looking for some cleavage :yup: but settled on funny :yup:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I have to say that Pyro's has to be the best. :up:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Okay... I found one... :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Godoggo beat me to the tribbles. I was going to use a picture of just one of those. I'll think up something else. It a huge cast . . . many casts . . . so this should be easy.

Pyro, I've added you to the list.

Whenever someone wants in, or out, just let me know, and I'll alter the list.

I hope you're not asking if these only stay up for a day. I asked you many times, to read that other thread.

He's squeezing Spock's boobs. It works. :p

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I guess I didn't really say that I was in as well.

If it's not too late eh?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

And here I was just sure you'd tell her how long the ones who are participating in Movie Theme of the WEEK are supposed to sport our new avatars... :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

No, it's not too late.... :nope:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Walter doesn't have anything to do with Star Trek though... so he's gonna have to go TUS.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'll add you, too. Jump on in.

Can I make the one in the title red!?! :p

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Way to go on your choice, Nebbit!

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Changed mine.

Yay, I'm a part of a group now.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

:cool:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

7thson, was I wrong, and you weren't in on this?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Well, I guess it looks like I'm sitting this first round out. I haven't seen any Star Trek movies, and they don't seem to interest me much either. Maybe I'll google Star Trek and see if I can find any cool images to change my avatar too, though.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Mine makes the most sense out of all of them.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Maybe one of these will suit you for now.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

You don't have to be a http://www.mazeguy.net/symbolic/fan.gif you may pick something I don't like but I will do it :yup: so go and do it :yup: Des has made some great ones for you :yup: it is only for a week :kiss:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Yeah, I'm not a Star Trek fan, but yeah, this game is supposed to be a two-way street.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Im not a fan either but im going to use one of the one's Dest posted, cheers Dest :up:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

While we're at it, get Neil Gallagher back here, as she's gone back to Puppet Master avatars simply because, and I quote, "I like moving avatars".

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I like this avatar it is awesome! and again this game is evry cool :yup:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Yeah, Martian. What's up with bailing already?

The bulk of those that I made, came from this . . .

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/s...goodthings.gif

It was way too large, file size, so I saved all the stills, separately. The only other things that popped out when I typed in Star Trek gifs, were these . . .

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/s...TrekCorset.gif
Star Trek Corset

Of course I thought of Nebbit, right away.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Okay, I ended up changing it to kid Spock from the new Star Trek that comes out next month.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Martian PMed me asking if it was just for a day or not. I thought it had been clearly stated at least twice that it was the latter.

Strange kid.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

It is posted afew times and not just in this thread either...

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

And the title is a dead giveaway. :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I think I will join the fun.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Hehe, do I spot a Firefly reference, Swan?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I've never seen it. What are you referring to?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Well, I see that everyone in your avatar is wearing a hat similar to the one Jayne wears from time to time in Firefly.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Nah, I just thought it would be more realistic if they were wearing some headwear, considering how cold it is in space.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'm just playing the game how it was in my old place. It was called Friday Avatar thread. :)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Um, and I've told you 100 times, in PM as well, that we are doing it the way I came up with many years ago. It's for a week.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'm in.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Khhhhaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK, Swan, and Sleezy. I'll add you two in a few. Everyone make sure I have you on there.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I know its for a week. I'm just playing just for Friday. Is that wrong? :shrug:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I wants in too! Alllll the way at the bottom of the list...:bashful:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Just jumping ahead...can we do the Alien movies next?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Depends what Caitlyn says.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Way to go Neil, trying to be the black sheep.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK, I'll add you in.

Each member has their own turn at making up a theme. Caity is next, according to the high post count list, at the start of this thread.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

That's like saying you want paid for a working for a full week, but only work one day of the week. It's not hard to change your avatar to something different for an entire week, is it?

I don't want to be the hard ass of the group here, but it's all or nothing. The whole point of it is to have fun, and since you were the one that asked about it, why are you the only one that doesn't want to do it anymore?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Ah, this is the first time I've noticed this thread (where have I been?). With that: I'm in. :cool: Off to change my avatar and signature, even though I'm not into Star Trek.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Yeah, it's funny how you don't even have to be into the choice, to still be able to pick something out.

Your user-title is also funny.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

With so many members signing on, it's going to be a bit of a challenge to pick a theme with enough of whoever or whatever to go around... :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Yep, we're up to 21, now.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'm no Trekkie either, but I still want to participate in the fun.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Neither am I, but how can you beat William Shatner shouting KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN freakishly loud.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'll join in. I think I'll win for most bad-ass avatar *ahem*. ;)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK I'm in too :)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Alright, add me to the list, Destiny. I'm gonna go get my Star Trek avatar now, even though I'm two days late.

Bye Bye, Grace Jones avatar. Love ya. :kiss:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK, changed it.

I'm Spock and I'll Show You My...

OMG, I love this avatar so much. I may never change it.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I like my avatar, CUT and sig too, but I'll change it.

http://callcenterguy.files.wordpress...opher_pike.jpg

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK, you guys are added. We're up to 25.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Damn. I keep being pushed further and further down the list haha, i may have to go take down Movieman >.>

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Hehe, you can try.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Me too :yup:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

So is the list going by when you join the thing? I could post 300 times in the next week and move up a couple spots ;)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I got to get posting so I can pass Swan and Justin.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I'm just going to keep posting like I always do. I kind of prefer joining in with everyone instead of picking the theme.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

That's exactly what you'll have to do, to pass them up. ;)

The list goes by high post count. So as people ask to join in, I toss them in the list. This idea did end up helping a lot with the board post total, but as I've remarked before, make them good ones. :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

No you were not wrong, I just had a brain cloud, I'm in.:)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

add me! :D (finally found it arrggggh)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Our Numbers are growing :yup: You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/ruinkai/borg.gif

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Who is up next and when will the new theme be announced? :blush:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

The first post has the instructions. The second post has the list of members who are playing. It's in order.
The new theme goes up on either Saturday, or Sunday. Whichever works out best for that member.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Cheers :up:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I am getting excited about the next one :yup:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Me two :yup: :up:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

You guys know how to put me on the spot don't you... :p Nebs choice was so much fun and we're getting so many people on board now, it's going to be tough coming up with something...

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I think we need to expand this to Television, as well. Not sure if that has already been discussed or not, but with there being so many people who want in, there's not too many movies with so many characters.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Funny, I've already thought of mine and I don't get to pick for about five weeks.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Hopefully, no one beats you to it. :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Judging by who's coming first, I seriously doubt it.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Fair enough. :D

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I think we should expand it to television as well... I had something picked out until so many hopped on board... now I need to rethink it... which is cool though, it's more fun with more members participating... :)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Or, if I remember correctly, it doesn't have to be an actual movie, but just a theme, so we can use different clowns if the theme was clowns, etc.

Disclaimer: I'm actually NOT using clowns as my theme, so if anyone wants that one, it's up for grabs.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Clowns might run people off. :laugh:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Speaking of which, I wonder if a certain user is going to select "puppets" as their theme of the week...

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I think that certain person should be out of the fun considering they only want to do it for one day a week.

Also, don't know if Des is up to this, but whomever has it the week after whichever theme is currently active, let her know a couple days in advance so she can get a couple avatars ready. This is all up to her though.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Aye. Pity, I had a really good puppet avatar lined up as well.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

OK, first . . . Caity, you can PM your original idea to me, if you like, so that I can see if you're headed in the right direction. Also, I'm fine with knowing a day or two in advance, so that I can make some spare avatars. Also, if you know your theme a couple of days early, and want an avatar from a You-tube video, or something, let me know that, as well.

As far as Martian goes, only if she joins in normally, will she get a turn. It won't be right for someone to pick something out, that everyone's going to follow for the week, with her not doing the same. Besides, that "just for Friday" deal won't work for the bulk of these, with the new themes going up on Saturday-Sunday. It went up for a lot of us on Friday, last week, because that was Nebbit's Saturday. Anyway, I took her off the list a few days ago, and only if she joins in accurately, will she be re-listed.

As far as using TV shows goes, that's fine, but once this gets going, you all will see that it's a lot easier than it seems. We had quite a large number on that other board, maybe 30 or so, and it worked just fine. Nebbit's movie worked, because there are numerous Star Trek movies, but as someone mentioned up above, it's not always a movie that should be used. They usually won't work very well. I listed some very good examples in my first post.

This is probably very sloppy, but I'm running late, and must get ready to go . . .

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

The Office week would be interesting. As cool and interesting as this idea is - I think the forums would go into chaos without my big meat eyeballs and smile.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

The Office wouldn't be a big enough idea. Also, I haven't watched it yet. That fact alone, would kill the idea for me.

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Well then you can be Tobey. :laugh:

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Did I mention that you can't pick one out, unless you play. ;)

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

I think I'll have to jump in for the second week than , what day does it rotate ?

Re: Movie Theme of the Week!
 

Friday is the end of the previous week's, with Saturday-Sunday being the beginning of the next week. Basically, as soon as the next person in line has announced there's, everyone does the hokey-pokey and switches avatars. :)
