The Paul Verhoeven Club - Master Thread

Aw... just you wait
The Chat Room is brilliant.


You seen the MoFo Weekends thread? We us the Chat for that too.
It's a rare occasion thing... and tons of fun.

What host? Don't say tinychat. That place is the plague!

Like everything else on MoFo... from lists to quizzes... it's a Chat Room written and designed solely for MoFo


MoFo uses it's own server too. Yods bought a server a couple years back and transferred the entire database onto it. MoFo is a totally privately owned and run website. Didn't you know?

That's very enticing. I love chat rooms.

Sure thing.

See, I'm not so bad. I may suck at podcast but chat room? Can do!

Awesome
I'll get the schedule sorted on the Weekends Thread.

Can't take total credit: I modified an existing chat script to tie into the forums. Worked out pretty well, though!

Yeah, I keep forgetting that we've got lots of users who never had to experience the old server. *shudder* Obviously, this costs a lot more (especially since we were hosted for free by a friend of mine before), but it went from constantly crashing and hanging to lightning fast almost overnight. Sure has been nice to spend more time focusing on adding stuff instead the last couple of years.

What if the club pages had a chat box on them?

I think that could be an excellent idea if they reach a high level of activity, yeah.

Slave driver. Makin' Yoda work!!!

The real Yoda was 900 years old... our Yoda will end up looking it.

3 more grey hairs. You should go to your room and think about what you've done.

Just got done watching Elle. Don't really know what to say about that. Won't be causing me to join the club, I did like it though. If you can like a film like Elle.

I've still yet to see Elle... heard some fantastic things about it though.
Huppert won Best Actress in over 50 different awards ceremonies... then got stiffed at the Oscars.

Elle is a tough sell for a mass audience. I think that's the point a lot of people miss about the Oscars. When that many people are voting the things that are going to win are the least objectionable. Look at our small little community. I would say the majority of mofos complain a good bit about the Oscars. Then our little awards come out pretty damn similar.

Starship Troopers quietly became a favorite of mine just a month or two ago. I watched it like 3 times in a week. Brilliant subversion of propaganda. Verhoeven is a balsy, divisive filmmaker with a lot of versatility. Still need to watch his less popular movies.

I love ST.
You making the Robo 30th Weekend?

I'll definitely be here for Starship Troopers, because I've been wanting to see that again for a long time. I don't think I've seen the ENTIRE movie, either - I was a kid when I saw it, and my dad made me leave the room during the scene with boobs. Damn him!!! That was probably integral to the storyline!
