Movie Walrus Part Deux

    NecroSkunk Productions proudly brings to you...



    A game to get rid of the boredom of isolation in the current climate....

    Movie Walrus: Part Deux

    Movie Walrus works similar to Music Walrus, where the hosts decide the categories and the players submit their choices via PM based on the same.

    Then when the hosts have watched and scored their categories, we reveal it all in one thread where the scores are revealed.

    Why are we doing this?

    No major intro here needed - because we want to and we feel like it :D


    So without further adieu, the categories:


    Categories

    Skunk

    Mind blowing movies: I love a good movie that just bends and blows your mind, full of twists and turns and just makes you really think about it after for days or even weeks afterward and never truly leaves you

    Fantasy: All types of magic and fantasy, I like being taken to and fully immersed into a different world full of awe and wonders. I love a well thought out story whether it’s based off of myths and legends or a completely made up universe


    Necro:

    I'm particular when it comes to movies. I like movies across all genres but I have two rules that guide my choices.

    No black and white, and no fooking subtitles!

    Well... rules are made to be broken. I want you all to show me how wrong I am to avoid both these types of movies.

    Therefore, my chosen categories are:

    Black and White Movies: I want the best of the best here to show me exactly what I'm missing out on. But be careful you don't duplicate :p

    Subtitles: I think subtitles ruin the atmosphere of a movie having to read the words at the bottom of the screen. Prove me wrong.


    Joint Category:

    In this category we will both watch your submissions and score the movie seperately before combining our scores to give an overall total.

    This choice is close to both of our hearts, and frankly, some of the best movies made are done this way;

    Animated Movie: Send us your favourite animated movie for judgment :D


    Sign ups are now OPEN

    No limit just yet, we shall see how sign ups go.

    Will have a think and scroll through the DVD collection, and get an entry in later today or tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,238 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Will you just be watching three each, or all five? If one film fits a Skunk category and a Necro category could we enter it twice?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,993 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    For the purposes of the contest we will be watching three out of the five movies each.

    And yeah, if you want to submit a movie twice into two categories that's perfectly acceptable.

    Cool, one springs to mind that fits two categories perfectly, and is amazing :)

    I wonder if we're potentially thinking of a similar film. I've thought of quite a few already that would work really well for multiple categories.

    Wouldn't surprise me - the one I'm thinking of isn't an undiscovered gem and the guys have probably seen it, but I love it so much I'll probably enter it anyway. My other entry for Necro will be a lot more... interesting :p

    Fair dues!

    Will definitely enter this.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Entered. Tried not to go for anything too obvious.

    Stop motion counts as animated, right?

    Nope.

    15 will be our limit in order to get movies watched in err.... relatively decent time though.

    So three spaces left or sign ups close tomorrow night, whichever comes first :D
