@phil - I totally hear you - we have a 9 month old, and we need at least 2 sittings to watch a movie these days. It will be even more difficult for me to watch these as my wife won't entertain it (maybe EFNY, maybe Room 237), so I'll need ot find 2 hours of 'me time' in a month, which is more difficult than it sounds.
@liftman for the same reason, most of my recent record purchases will have had single digit spins. I actually have a backlog, which is getting bigger. I have this idealistic notion of sitting down with headphones and devoting time to my hobby, but in reality I listen to Side A doing the dishes in another room, and hear most of Side B 4 days later! I have the same "maybe in a few years" hope as @zuko, but @phil's just burst both of our bubbles!
I've had a first stab at the 'rules'. I feel bad about number 5, as it means anyone watching at the end of the month has less time to discuss, but otherwise it's either a separate thread each month, or having a crossover where some people are talking about "last month's" movie.
1. Starting in February, we will watch one movie a month, in the order in which the scores were released (subject to 7, below);
2. We will start with the Death Waltz catalogue, starting with DW001 in February 2015;
3. In the first instance, we will not include RSD releases, etc, we will work through Cat #s DW001, DW002, and so on;
4. The movie should be watched within the calendar month; and
5. At the start of each month, we move onto the next cat #, and so does the conversation;
6. Please keep posts 'on topic' - movie/score/both;
7. Where the score is for a seasonally-themed movie (e.g. Halloween, Christmas), we will watch the movies in the appropriate month.
8. Once we 'catch up' with the Death Waltz catalogue, we will decide where we go next (other label, RSD releases, etc).
If we agree to this broadly, we can shift it to an appropriate topic/forum - I agree that "STBC Movie Club" is a better name, as we might branch out (in 3-4 years time!).
