bread for the zed

Posted: **Wed Dec 16, 2020 2:17 am**

any sense of how many movies we're thinking we'll need each?

Posted: **Wed Dec 16, 2020 2:27 am**

4 or 5. Does anyone have a preference between those options?

Yes. As long as there's any discernable theme tying the movies together, it's allowed

Fuck it, I'm in then

Mine is Take Me to the River.

I'm in with 'Continental Drift'

How many films are we nominating?

Posted: **Thu Dec 17, 2020 8:14 am**

My genre is gonna be Inspiring DocuTales.

Posted: **Fri Dec 18, 2020 3:32 am**

Unless I change my mind, I'm gonna do "(quasi)-docs about capital."

Posted: **Fri Dec 18, 2020 3:47 am**

once upon a time in the... west? hang on, could only find 2-3 of the ones i was hoping to find

Posted: **Fri Dec 18, 2020 5:10 pm**

i would like to take part with the genre "Builders Unlimited".

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:22 am**

i am just watching (for the 1963 poll) a film with a journalist falling off a tree...

considering there is also "Broken Fall: Organic" (Bas Jan Ader, 1971)...

now, i only need 2-3 more films of this kind and i can change my currently picked genre for another called "films where people fall off trees".

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 1:35 am**

^ yes please

and reminder to anyone currently or futurely participating (or just watching selected movies) to add your letterboxd account so we can see what you've seen

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 1:51 am**

well, if anyone wants to see each and every movie i've seen in the past few years, then he/she has to click on kinometer link in my signature area.
i never really made a transition from mubi to letterboxd and once kinometer emerged i settled there to my thorough satisfaction.
on letterboxd i only stalk other ppl and post silly reviews (mostly lyrics from songs sung in the particular movie) and thus my letterboxd doesn't truly & wholly represent my cinephilia.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 2:01 am**

yeah no problem if a few things slip through the cracks for a few people; it's more just to see if a movie you're picking has already been seen by 0 people, by 2-3 people, or - when it starts to get a little silly, for me - by 5+ people. but to each their own, just don't pick seven samurai (though i'll probably vote for you if you do)

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 2:15 am**

was gonna make a joke about "oh i can't do my theme of movies with seven in the title?" and then list four super-canon movies, the obviously two being the Kurosawa and the Bergman, but there are actually a ton of awesome (and some not so canon) such movies. as well as Samurai and Seal, i gave all of the following at least 3.5/5

7th heaven (borzage version + king's remake)
seven sweethearts (borzage)
seven chances (keaton)
seven thieves (hathaway)
the seven year itch (wilder)
seven days in may (frankenheimer)
seven brides for seven broskies (donen)
seven men from now (boetticher)
the seventh bullet (khamraev)
magnificent seven (sturges)
call northside 777 (hathway)

and there are tons of others that just weren't my cup of tea (cleo from 5 to 7, the seventh victim). pound for pound, seven might be the best number in film titles. i'm sure there are more great films with "one" and "two" and even "three" but that's not really the same. do five, six, eight, nine or ten come close to what seven does? i doubt it

Miguel Gomes's The Face You Deserve has a good falling-out-of-a-tree scene.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:57 am**

you know what i will go for it. i'll pick "death and the compass" for genre.

the more the better, 5+ (but with space in between if people want, so folks aren't tired and weary for the last rounds)

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 9:41 am**

so i looked at all my 4/5, 4.5/5, 5/5 movies on letterboxd, and i've found 79 candidates that 0-2 other scfzers have seen... including a whole bunch of docs; you doc folk are making me want to do that too

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2020 2:49 am**

ok ill do it

missing letterboxd info from several folks here (and from people who won't participate but still might watch some movies?)

i probably have most people already... but for example, flabrezu is looking at potential movies to pick, and one of them shows up for him as having been seen by 2 scfzers - but 7 if i look at it

there's no requirement that movies be unseen - i like it when a round includes a movie or two i've already seen, because it makes it easier to vote in some of the matches if i happen to be short on time that week or month or whatever

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2020 11:20 pm**

oh definitely doesn't have to be unseen, and it's up to each participant! i'm going for about 0-3, maybe 4 max, myself. i think 7 people here already having seen a movie would get pretty crazy, though

but at the very least i think people should know how many people have seen movies already, so they can decide
