I’ve got a little film club that we started back in 2022.
We call it No Grumps, the official club is called Grumps Need Not Apply Film Club.
It’s born of being real tired of people just wanting to hate on everything, including most of our friends.
The rules are real chill
- Don’t be a dick
- Critical comparisons and discussions are sweet as, being a critical egg is not
- If a conversation goes from discussion to dissing, anyone can call taihoa and the conversation pauses
@FallenRedNinja
LOVE this idea.
@jacklaridian It is genuinely my favourite nerd gathering, and was one of the hardest things about moving back north after I opened the venue I was working on
And man. It’s so wholesome. I’ve been gone… 18 months? And we’ve still managed to do like 10 films
@FallenRedNinja
My motto is 'the only bad movie is a boring movie' so I watch some REAL stinkers and get so much enjoyment out of them. My New Year's resolution this year was to watch every TROMA movie and I've seen over a hundred this year. Some of them are comedy gold.
@jacklaridian I think there can be just as much joy in a terrible film as an excellent one, especially with the right folks.
That said. I hope never to have to suffer through Manos; Hands of Fate ever again whilst I still have a pulse
Poultrygeist, however, I could watch that again
@FallenRedNinja
I loved Poultrygeist
@jacklaridian I was at the wrong end of a flagon of espresso martinis heading towards dawn the first time I watched it and legitimately thought I’d conflated two of the horror marathon films together
What a wild ride. What a delight
