2021 Cup

[kanafani]

I can’t commit to participating much, so I’ll sit this one out.

[greennui]

So, I guess it comes down to forcing risckha at gunpoint, huh.

[niminy-piminy]

maybe some more ppl will be tempted to join if we call it "Genre Coup"?!

Good luck everyone, hopefully it won't be a failed Genre Coup.

[niminy-piminy]

if it turns out to be a failed "Genre Coup" SOMEBODY must bear consequences!
SAD_SCROOGE will face impeachment!
SCFZ Purge will be inevitable!

[Curtis, baby]

you guys are making me want to play. i was gonna sit out since i won last time. i dunno if i have time/concentration to field a team though

Cmonnn
Even if u can't watch many u can manage

And we're going slower this year so u might watch more than u think

[niminy-piminy]

Cmonnn Rischka, Lencho's VQ ("Victory to Qanon") needs to be defeated!

[rischka]

LOL JIRI ok i got a couple days off now so let me think on a 'genre'

*as lencho changes his tag to civilwar2: electric boogaloo*

[uuni]

I'd be willing to take part! Do I just come up with my own genre?

[niminy-piminy]

yes, choose 4 films (which possibly have a common theme) which you expect not many ppl have seen but you consider them great and based on the common theme invent a "genre" (then make the "genre" explicit here but keep 4 films you picked your secret until the cup starts).

and this is not an excuse for Rischka to evade participation cuz "Victory to Qanon" is an imminent threat that needs a strong counter-fighter!
as flip said 16 participants would be ideal.
so there is still 1 more vacant place!

[Lencho of the Apes]

If my putsch gets counterputsched, I'll save face by pretending VQ stood for "vehement quacking."

[niminy-piminy]

i feel GENRE COUP 2021 "will be wild"!

[uuni]

Okay okay—was trying to think up a clever name for my genre, but I couldn't think of anything good! Guess I'll go with Troubled Teens

[rischka]

i know a good film featuring llamas

[uuni]

Ooh, do tell

[greennui]

[rischka]

eso es

[Mario Gaborovic]

SO WHENNNN? Steel is tempered while it's hot.

[greennui]

Participants/genres are confirmed. Who's running the cup, bure and/or holymanm?

[nrh]

at the very least if participants are set up we can create a sub forum and start the genre introduction threads (if we're doing those this year)

[rischka]

hello?

[niminy-piminy]

considering Mauries' post "I will be in for a genre cup if most of the activity will be after half February"
i expect (???) this thread stays abandoned for the next few weeks...
BUT then the storm on Cup(itol) will start and the Cinephile Civil War will erupt.
hopefully, after the wild Genre Coup, the healing phase and the reunion gonna take place!

[Curtis, baby]

I'll get it going this week

In the meantime, please everyone pick four movies and send me your picks

We do this in case someone leaves the forum partway through (happened the first year)

[Mauries]

I can deliver a first film already if we want to start - have to dive into the rest a bit later when I have more time.

[Lencho of the Apes]

I could do the same, if we have a consensus on wanting to start. Who else is ready?

[Holymanm]

Big time ready
