An idea open to constructive input from anyone

How about instead of green, or keeping people listed that have watched a movie, we put a number like TONGO (3) signifying how many movies Ive watched already, so if anyones looking for someone to pick, they wont pick me because my name will only show like this...... TONGO (3) ► Bigger than Life (1956), in black.

Say I finish Bigger Than Life, then we can have a Quick Pick list of people that are available, IF they dont want to find someone new. Id be listed there with some other regulars that have finished their movie, and then Id be TONGO (4)

Eh?

Just because you participated X times doesn't mean you'll participate X times +1.

I'm not knocking your idea, but that means nothing to the casual observer. Not everyone views information as patterns or math equations. If I hadn't read your post, I'd be saying WTF does 3 mean. Guys forget the shorthand coding. The list is good enough as it is. If you really must add more information, make it clearly written out like this so it's self explanatory:

TONGO ( has watched 3 previous movies) ►Next movie he'll watch is Bigger than Life (1956) (suggested by Frightened Inmate No. 2)

Would it be easier if we only kept the full chain in Omni's first post, and only reposted the incomplete parts of the chain? People jumping into the thread could check the first post to see which members have completed links, and they'd know not to pick anyone from the current list, which would look like:

Swan ► Close Up (1990)
Daniel M ► Closet Land (1991)
TheUsualSuspect ► Vagabond (1986)
Redwell ► Postman Blues (1997)
Omnizoa ► Gen-X Cops (1999)
Topsy ► Whatever Happened To Baby Jane (1962)
Mistique ► Seven Samurai (1954)
Nope ► Martyrs (2008)
Above The Clouds ► Dark Waters (1993) ?
MonnoM ► Heaven (2002)
TONGO ► Bigger than Life (1956)
Frightened Inmate No. 2 ► Night on Earth (1991)
Citizen Rules ► Payback (1999)
NextScorsese ► 25th Hour
Movie Max ► The Hunt (2012)
MovieMeditation ► ?????

I like that, what she said For harmonies sake it, probably is best to streamline and simplify.

I know, and I was in love with the whole "Chain Visual" too which wouldve grown as this kept going. Theres so much friction though, still, and figure so it does keep going, we just Keep It Simple & Sweet.

The full chain is eventually going to get too long to keep reposting anyway. We'd still have the unbroken, visually pleasing version with links to reviews in the first post, so it's not like it would be gone or anything. It's easier to tell who you can't pick with the shortened version, so I think that would help sort out some of the confusion. Either that or removing the green from someone's previous completed link if they have a new movie to watch, to prevent someone new from just seeing a green name and thinking they can pick that person without reading the rest of the chain.

Mad Mel is back at again and going ballistic in 1999's ode to film noir - Payback. Mel's more crazed than cool and like many of his other roles channels and inner hostility and vents it on those around him.

I watched the original theatrical cut which I thought was well done. I've heard people praise the Director's cut because it removes the voice over narrative, but V.O's don't scare me at all. Some taunt the blue toned original film as being, too blue, hence the Directors Cut removed the bluish cast. Big mistake, half of the films greatness is in it's look, and in the original release there's lots of cool toned blue's and greens all surrounded in shadows....brilliantly done as it effectively gives the feeling of a classic black & white noir while still shooting in color.

At 1hour 40 minutes, this movie is fast paced, but not ADD inducing fast. We get just enough of Maxs...errr I mean Porter's backstory to know where he's coming from. Actually all you need to know is in the title, he's pissed, crazy and wants payback. But only $70,000 worth of payback, he doesn't want the full $130,000. The money bit induces a bit of ironic comedy into a tense action film. This film delivers!
