Galway Cinema Club Voting

Firstly I would like to thank those voting for expressing an interest in our cinema club.

It is hoped that the first meeting will take place on Tuesday 13th of July - if you wish to join, please send me an email to GalwayCinemaClub@gmail.com and I will add you to the mailing list there, so I can send details of when the movie will be, where we will go, and where we will meet up.

So last thing I can say now is -- happy voting! The movie that has the highest number of votes by Sunday evening (11th) will be the chosen movie, and I will let people know by Monday (12th)

Thank you for voting - and I hope you can all make it.

(Damn NTL and their shoddy internet.. broke before I could add the poll, now it won't let me add one.. could a mod? The choices would be .. Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Predators, Four Lions and Shrek Forever After)

Predator was a class movie but a bit like the Matrix should have been left at just one, Predator II was ok but the AVP's were woefull. New one might be ok, as long as the oscar winner doesn't whip out his pianist!

Oh stop latest AVP was awful and cringe worthy! It has an oscar winner.. it must be good!! Still shiny special effects and gore.. you can't really go wrong!

Plus the trailer just looks superb. It's also got Walt Goggins who played Boyd Crowder in the TV show Justified, who I think is a pretty good actor. I'm kinda stuck between Predators and Four Lions, so hopefully either of those will win.

Indeed it does! But don't know about anyone else but I've gone to a few flicks based on a class trailer, only to leave the cinema thinking they should have got the person who put the trailer together to direct the movie.

It's usually the case, isn't it? A recent example is the trailer for the Last Airbender - the trailer made it look superb, but it's getting hugely slated and is currently on 8% on rottentomatoes.com

To bring the discussion back to this; what movie would people like to see winning?

To be honest I hope ye get stuck with Twilight!
Though that will leave me out cause I plan to go see it soon with my housemate.

Hopefully you'd be able to attend what will be the 2nd meeting on the 27th - the choices then will be Toy Story 3, Inception, The Tournament, Splice and The Rebound - will be interesting to see Toy Story 3 and Inception battle each other out.

Let us know if you see anything interesting .
The IFI is one of the few things I miss from my former life in Dublin, the choice of foreign films was a breath of fresh air from the bog standard cinema fare.

Think you're the only one who has :P Few more have. Can everybody who has voted please email GalwayCinemaClub@gmail.com and I'll add you to the mailing list - the details of the meetings won't be kept here, so if you want to be kept up to date, make sure you send me a mail.

Asmodean

Four Lions

I did too!

hyperbaby

i more than likely won't be at the first meeting but i more than likely will go to the second meeting.
just thought i would mention that and i didn't vote for any of the films.

Asmodean

Four Lions

great idea though, chance to make some new friends too!

Here's another suggestion for this, there's a Little Cinema Club every month or so held in Kellys. It's where local people show their short films and sketches, with a brief introduction. It's a great night out and only 3 euro in. Might be a good idea to go the odd time for this club!

I actually like the idea of this. Was at your most recent meeting and thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Asmodean

Nice one! That sounds very interesting, does it get a big crowd? Can't believe all these great nights out have never come to my attention before!

Not my night! Don't wanna get accused of pimping my own event

I've been to the first 2 and I reckon it probably gets maybe 40-50 people? I can only imagine it getting more and more as word spreads.

Asmodean

Deadly stuff! Must check it out, I used to be a big fan of making my own amateur movies
(Stop jeering at the back!) :P
Gettin close now between Shrek and predators!!

Would it be worth making a FB page for our little cinema club? I could knock one out.

Group could be better hun, but if you could that would be great! Also can you make it so that you have to be invited? Prevent any trolling etc

Sorry for being so immature but I spat out my drink laughing when I read the second sentence there

Asmodean

Four Lions

Yeah I meant a private group, whoops! Between that and my innuendos I ain't on a good role tonight! Ah Baldshin I am glad that I could provide some entertainment. lols

Would multiple selection not have been better, i wanted to vote more then one film, or was the option available and i didn't notice it?!

Much better idea then the book club, i'd need about two years to read one never mind two weeks

Asmodean

Four Lions

Yeah I'm finding it so hard to get into books lately too. Nothing like a quick fix o cinema to cure what ail's ya. There better be no poll for the next outing, HAS to be inception!

By the way I've set up the FB group, accessible only by invite. The name of it is "Galway Boardsie's Cinema Club."

Damnit, hoisted by my own petard! I can get you many cardboard boxes for free, which we can convert into Tankards with some scissors and glue? That has to count for something right.

Oh ok I guess. But someday we'll want real tankards, forged in some sort of mythical lava surrounded venue.
