Movie Club

[personal profile] kaijinscendre 2017-09-19 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Nominate a film today! http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1682345.html?thread=973086377#cmt973086377

I am also wondering about the rules regarding what streaming service the movie must be on. Right now, it must be on Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu.

But it has some major flaws in that different countries have different movies available AND services like Amazon have subscriptions you can get (HBO, Starz, etc).

I only added this requirement to weed out troll nominations. I believe that most people will be able to find any popular movie pretty easily on the internet.

So, should I just keep it to those three services (with the understanding that some countries will not have it)? Add more services? Ban subscriptions you have to pay extra for thru Amazon?

Or can anyone think of another way to ensure nominations are legitimate movies (so no student projects and such) and actually watchable (so no nominating a movie that came out in theaters 2 weeks ago, etc)?

I mean unless we're all watching it at the same time, I say list a movie that's available on major streaming services, and if it's not in your country, either get it illegally or sit this one out. I know many people here don't like it and that's admirable, but there's only so much that can be done.

If a recent movie isn't on digital like say, Homecoming, it's not eligible.

You can check if a movie can be streamed with this website;
http://www.canistream.it/

If it has a reasonably full IMDB page, I think it's safe to say it's a legit film.

Yeah, I think that is what I'll do. I should make a list of sites where you can stream movies less...legally. >.>

Fitting day to bring this up but I wouldn't mind opening it up to non-streamables too. Movies are much more annoyingly region-locked than books are. Especially foreign-slash-nonWestern movies

I have two suggestions

- have people link a rottentomatoes or wiki article with the movie so people can see that its legit, like book club does with goodreads

- for movies off the streaming services, say it has to be at least 10 years old or something so its not encouraging people to pirate things still in or just out of the box office

i think streamable is a good rule for choosing movies since how you watch it is still about to you

I think a limit of a year (maybe two) might be enough. Movies are released on streaming very quickly these days.

Also youtube has quite a lot of movies on them in full that are there in dubious legality. Obviously the Disney Renaissance is on there isn't legal but a lot of foreign, older things are.
