Did someone mistake this for the Dr Who thread for like forty posts???

The thread title says TNL Movie Club, not Netflix club! Also, I'm the 1 person on the planet who doesn't have netflix.

Seriously. There's this undercurrent of sadness and regret that just permeates the entire film. And tell me you didn't get just a little misty-eyed when JFK died, or when Elvis was bleeding out near the end and the stars (or whatever the fuck those were supposed to be) told him that all was well. Shit was sad.

Another club, another failure.

I'm not sure a week between movies is enough time anymore. We old.

Fuck that noise.
It's usually no more than two hours out of anyone's life and I'm pretty sure I see all of us posting regularly in the I Just Watched thread. So I don't want to hear the "no time" excuse. Take a break from whatever shitty game you are playing and watch the god damn movie.
We've done the multiple week shit before. The result was that most people still waited until the last minute to watch or didn't watch at all.

Also: Fuck the "we can't discuss shit we've already seen" noise as well. Half of gaming discussion is us discussing games we've already played. We are just lazy.

Also: My bad mood may or may not have something to do with an international job with the zodiac that I really want, but can't seem to find a reliable source for. The one lead that did seem strong now seems to want to take a week to deliver.
