Mish Mash Movie Mwatch Mnight

[VashtaNeurotic]

So last week I had an idea. I was looking at Haschel's Bracket Night Thread while also reminiscing on CC's Movie Mwatch Thread from last spring. One of my favorite times from the latter was when we watched films together in the Official MS Discord (previously in the Mish Mash Discord) voice chat. So, given my major time sink just ended and my love of movies in general (but lack of watching any recently), why not try to start up something that combines them both. As such here's my idea:

1. Post in thread or DM me with any movies you want to watch, it's perfectly fine if they've been suggested before.
2. Every other week I'll select a number of films (randomly but trying to make sure no one's suggestions dominate) and we'll go through a bracket, seeded randomly. Each bracket will last 2 weeks.
3. Each weekend we'll watch one of the top 2 films of the bracket via the voice channel in the MS Discord (IMPORTANT NOTE: You need the movie night role to see the voice channel it takes place in. Just type ?rank Movie Night in the tv-and-movies channel of the MS Discord to get it). I'll make a when2meet to figure out the best time.

Hopefully we'll all get the joy of arguing about/sharing some fun films with each other. Feel free to make any suggestions you think will make this easier/more fun, there is already part of the form that allows new categories to be suggested since if this is a success we will eventually run out of movies.

Current When2Meet:

[VashtaNeurotic]

Also feel free to fill out the form more than once or update your list, the "8 movies per category" is just an arbitrary restriction early on so one persons suggestions don't make up the entire list.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Hmmmm....Yeah we can just have one list and make the categories afterward, or make the brackets a random selection. Sounds fine. In that case feel free to just put suggestions in thread. Will make an edit.

[VashtaNeurotic]

ALso have grabbed what films were suggested in the form

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay updated the list fully. Gonna nominate some more movies in thread and randomize the first bracket on Monday or Tuesday evening. Hopefully by next (not this) Friday we'll have that one complete.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Gonna suggest 5 Films I absolutely love and think more people will enjoy:
Paddington
Brick
The Trotsky
The Good, The Bad and The Weird
Seven Psychopaths

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay so going to start the bracket on Tuesday around 8 PM EDT. It will have 32 entries and each vote will last 2 days via a challonge link. This should mean we'll have the final 4 by Monday and the movies to watch on Wednesday. I'm going to make sure everyone has some of their films in the bracket and try to have a roughly equal distribution of submissions by person, as such if there are some films you'd rather see in a bracket sooner rather than later, notify me. Seeding will probably just be random since going through any attempt to rank films will probably be more effort than it's worth.

Hopefully everyone is fine with next Friday being the first night but I'll set up a doodle on Sunday just in case some other day works better for people (though I can't really do Saturday or Sunday regularly).

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay, had a weird technical difficulty with challonge but it's good now. Bracket looks like this (seeding is random as is the assortment of your films if you didn't give me a preference for them). Most anyone has in the bracket is 4 films and it looks like:


Bracket is available at: https://challonge.com/jhnuaonn

You do need a challonge account to vote but they're free. Open question to all, should my vote count AND break ties, only break ties or have it count and we have some other tie breaking procedure?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Just made a section of films that went into brackets and didn't win, if we ever run out of new films that will be drawn upon (and rather quickly it'll be the longer list).

[VashtaNeurotic]

Oh and reminder, you can still suiggest films for future brackets, just not THIS one. Chances are I'll start up another next Tuesday so there's always 2 running. Though maybe every other week would be better to avoid burnout?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Will movies that don't win get added to a future bracket? Like maybe the top half or something continue?

They'll be added back if we run out of completely new films and I feel at some point that'll just be well...all the films. If there is popular support to add them in before that point whether it be the top half or quarter or whatever, I am more than willing to change that as it's just my initial impression as what's the most fair and provides enough variety.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Oldboy should be the 2003 version, I don't think any other movies should have duplicates in that bracket but will double check that and the list

[VashtaNeurotic]

Made a feedback form to get a temperature check on the timing of brackets and what should get re-entered (if anything). Note that this form uses check-boxes so just select all options you are okay with.
Link: https://forms.gle/8MzU4Q3oLLKeTX8m7

[VashtaNeurotic]

Also added years to Brick (2005), Circle (2015) and Night Moves (2013).

When suggesting films, try to add the year if it's possible there's two versions.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Probably gonna add years to all unbracketed films to the best of my ability, if any of them are incorrect do tell me.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Bracket is updated:


Round 2 has begun. Also please fill out the feedback form linked below and in the OP.

edit: And the bracket link: https://challonge.com/jhnuaonn
feedback form: https://forms.gle/8MzU4Q3oLLKeTX8m7

[VashtaNeurotic]

Definitely need to consider what the tiebreaker will be if two films have an even number of votes. Any thoughts? otherwise is might just be random, which doesn't sound ideal.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Given 2 people expressed preference for randomness, random it is. By random draw Oldboy has beaten the Abyss. New bracket is up, link is here: https://challonge.com/jhnuaonn

[VashtaNeurotic]

Update: 4 Remain Link to vote: https://challonge.com/jhnuaonn
Also last chance to fill out the feedback form: https://forms.gle/8MzU4Q3oLLKeTX8m7
And here is a when2meet for the mviewing mnight, remember to set it to your time zone: https://www.when2meet.com/?9312065-97kSP

[VashtaNeurotic]

And the winners are the Room and the Prestige. Feel free to vote on what we watch: https://challonge.com/jhnuaonn



Currently it looks like movie night will be tomorrow around 8 PM but it can easily be changed to later, if you are interested fill out the when2meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?9312065-97kSP

Also according to the form the most popular choices were:
1. To watch ONE movie each week and
2. To allow the top quarter of films to move on

Also in terms of suggesting films, I will allow people to suggest films that were already bracketed, but you may not resuggest your own film.

[VashtaNeurotic]

With the votes where they are and a couple hours to go. It looks like we will be watching The Room tonigt at 9 PM EDT. We will figure out a time to watch the Prestige next week and I'll start the next bracket on Monday or Tuesday, so get those suggestions in!

[VashtaNeurotic]

how did the room win over do the right thing, honestly

*shrug* ties are broken randomly

[VashtaNeurotic]

Going to resuggest The Abyss because I feel bad about it going out to RNG, and going to add in Game Night (2018) cause it's hilarious

[VashtaNeurotic]

Go ahead

[VashtaNeurotic]

Figured I may as well start this on Monday to give us a bit more time to decide which film we watch first.
Speaking of which, link to the When2Meet for watching The Prestige this week: https://www.when2meet.com/?9340619-nQv1v

But here is the new bracket: https://challonge.com/2ipoehzw


Probably going to add years to all films but definitely tell me if a certain film you aren't sure what version you are voting for.

[VashtaNeurotic]

New Round: https://challonge.com/2ipoehzw

Also based on the when2meet it looks like the movie will be watched either anytime Saturday after 3 PM EDT or Sunday around 7/7:30 EDT. If you have a preference between the times please fill it out:
https://www.when2meet.com/?9340619-nQv1v

Current Bracket:

[VashtaNeurotic]

The Prestige will be watched Tomorrow at 7PM EDT. I'll probably update the bracket a little before.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Sine the prestige will be watched in about an hour, here's the final 8 brackets. Two rounds were decided by random draw: https://challonge.com/2ipoehzw

[VashtaNeurotic]

Final 4 are here: https://challonge.com/2ipoehzw
And a when2meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?9373295-O9pqV

[VashtaNeurotic]

Final Two are Do the Right Things and Clue. Next 24 are to determine what we watch this week: https://challonge.com/2ipoehzw
and the when to meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?9373295-O9pqV

[VashtaNeurotic]

Do The Right Thing has the most votes and barring a lot of new entries on the when2meet, will be watched

Tomorrow at 9 PM EDT

[VashtaNeurotic]

A new bracket has started: https://challonge.com/r109qzfo
Also here's the when2meet to watch Clue: https://www.when2meet.com/?9411505-5UPyk

Do note 14 of the films were cribbed from CC's old thread. I didn't want the bracket to be just films me, xof and Malkon suggested and didn't want to start reusing films from the Previous Brackets after only 2.

Anyway image of the bracket as well

[VashtaNeurotic]

oh i was hoping to eventually suggest something qq

You still totally can, suggestions are completely open and if we have enough variety of suggestions, I won't be using the supplemental list at all.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Should i dm you a list?

Posting in thread or DMing me is fine. I'll adjust the OP in case that wasn't clear.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Anyway results are up: https://challonge.com/r109qzfo
Also it looks like either

Friday after 10 PM EDT

or

Sunday between 9PM and Midnight EDT

will be when Clue is watched. If you want to watch and have a preference between those times either post in thread, DM me or fill out the when2meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?9411505-5UPyk

Bracket:

[VashtaNeurotic]

Based on my consultations it appears that

Friday at 10 PM EDT

will be the best time.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Update: https://challonge.com/r109qzfo

[VashtaNeurotic]

Bracket update: https://challonge.com/r109qzfo
Will post a when2meet tomorrow.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Two Notes.
1. When2meet made for the movie for this thur-sun. Though the movie itself will be determined on Thursday (I will start brackets earlier from now on): https://www.when2meet.com/?9444197-3ijsk
2. If Knives Out wins, I can only find it on amazon prime and that can't be screen shared via discord. However, quick testing has show that I can use Kast ( https://w.kast.live/ ). The site does require you to make an account (you can just sign in with google in seconds though) and will require me to post a link and accept your join request, but should work. As far as I know it does not work with Firefox, but does with Chrome and Edge for both Americans and Europeans. I am not sure if it works with Macs so if anyone wants me to test that that would be great. If you have an issue with this please notify me so I can look harder for the film or other way to stream.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Blade Runner vs Knives Out, only 24 hours since this just determines what we watch THIS week. Please fill out the when2meet

[VashtaNeurotic]

After checking the votes, the when2meet and consulting with those on it.

Knives Out

will be watched at

7:45 PM EDT on Saturday

[VashtaNeurotic]

Bracket Made, lists will be updated shortly: https://challonge.com/iz7a6ij3

[VashtaNeurotic]

Is that the Gregory Peck/Robert Mitchum Cape Fear or the Nick Nolte/Robert de Niro Cape Fear?

or the bart simpson/sideshow bob cape feare

Nolte/De Niro/Scorcese

[VashtaNeurotic]

Blade Runner When2meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?9483554-BpDyO

Sorry have had a busy week.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Also if you have trouble voting on challonge feel free to message me them

[VashtaNeurotic]

And bracket is updated again: https://challonge.com/iz7a6ij3

[VashtaNeurotic]

So it appears challonge is allowing me to report scores but isn't allowing me (or anyone else) to vote on the site. I have no idea why it isn't working but in the meantime I would suggest voting in thread. If you don't want to vote publically, please PM me on site or DM me at Vash#6144 on Discord with your votes.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Doubt
Drive
Adaptation
Pitch Perfect 2
WarGames
Amelie
Guardians of the Galaxy
Great Muppet Caper

[VashtaNeurotic]

And it appears the problem has been fixed since both me and people previously unable to vote are now able to vote. If you still aren't obviously send me votes but otherwise just tell me if you do vote on site. Sorry for the inconvenience

[VashtaNeurotic]

Bracket update: https://challonge.com/iz7a6ij3

Also Blade Runner will be watched

Tomorrow/Saturday at 11 PM EDT

.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Update: Given there is now a dedicated role and voice chat for Movie Mnight in the official Mish Mash server (just type ?rank Movie Night in #tvandmovies) Movie Mnights will likely be held in the official MS discord. However since you can only access the voice chat with the role and it was literally made like half an hour ago. Movie Mnight will be held in the old Mish Mash discord tonight in 3 hours.

[VashtaNeurotic]

A few updates:
1. Bracket is updated: https://challonge.com/iz7a6ij3
2. When2meet for this weeks film is here, hopefully we'll know exactly what it is by wednesday and we'll know the top 2 by Tuesday: https://www.when2meet.com/?9502604-R36d1
3. I do need to update it, but I have converted the ridiculous number of lists into a nice spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Also bracket image as usual

[VashtaNeurotic]

Final Two are John Wick and Ocean's 11. Now it's time to vote for what will be watched this week: https://challonge.com/iz7a6ij3
Also fill out the when2meet, though atm it appears whatever film we choose will be watched between

3 and 7 PM EDT on Friday

: https://www.when2meet.com/?9502604-R36d1

[VashtaNeurotic]

It looks like

John Wick

is the choice for this week and based on the when2meet it will take place

Tomorrow at 6:45 PM EDT

[VashtaNeurotic]

Make that

Saturday at 6:30 PM EDT

sorry for the late change but stuff has come up.

[VashtaNeurotic]

when2meet for Ocean's Eleven: https://www.when2meet.com/?9554032-irTcV

[VashtaNeurotic]

Also note there will be a weeklong hiatus at least as classes start back up and I re acclimate to that. Also I'm V/LA for 3 days this week so I can't run a bracket.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Oh, uh

Ocean's Eleven at 3 PM EDT on Saturday

[VashtaNeurotic]

Hello, everyone! It's halfway through November, which means the holiday season is upon us! As such I think it's only appropriate to have 4 weeks of holiday films throughout the month of December (hopefully on the weekends but we'll figure that out). But before we can vote on everything, there need to be suggestions. As such, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/UeFqXQwQGtzCcELm8

The goal will be to have 2 brackets (with movies seeded by number of times suggested), one starting on

November 23rd

(which should end before December 4th) and one starting on

December 7th

(which should end before December 18th) so if you don't submit right away, that's fine. Also while the goal is to get holiday films, feel free to suggest any movie you want to watch I am not going to cut anything because I don't view it as one.

Anyway, Happy Holidays to you all and may December be a wonderful month of movies.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Just a reminder to submit films if you haven't already. And you are not bound to one film so if you think of more, feel free to pile on.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Also you don't have to do an individual film with your submissions, you can do a list, but thank you for your devotion

[VashtaNeurotic]

A day late on this but, THE BRACKET HAS STARTED: https://challonge.com/xjj23tzj



Edit: Had to fix an error where Muppet Christmas Carol was on twice

[VashtaNeurotic]

A lot of random rolls (and a long string of 2s happening) leads to the following bracket. Though I will likely add anything that was eliminated in a 50/50 into Bracket 2 if there is room. Speaking of which: https://forms.gle/UeFqXQwQGtzCcELm8
Still plenty of time to add suggestions. And Bracket link: https://challonge.com/xjj23tzj

[VashtaNeurotic]

Update, no ties this time: https://challonge.com/xjj23tzj

[VashtaNeurotic]

Onyl 24 hours for this one: https://challonge.com/xjj23tzj

Will make a when2meet soon

[VashtaNeurotic]

We have a final 2. Remember this vote is just for what movie will be watched THIS weekend. As such please fill out the following when2meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?10456122-aj8Ls
Bracket: https://challonge.com/xjj23tzj

[VashtaNeurotic]

Final 4: https://challonge.com/nfijoxru

Only 20 or so hours for this one

[VashtaNeurotic]

Final 2, voting for this weeks shortly. Not sure if both will be watched pre-christmas, fill out the when2meet to figure that out: https://www.when2meet.com/?10536020-Itwsc

https://challonge.com/nfijoxru

[VashtaNeurotic]

Looks like it will be Last Unicorn then Little Women. However it would be good for more people to fill out: https://www.when2meet.com/?10536020-Itwsc as I am not sure whether it is better to do them separate or together.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Double feature of The Last Unicorn then Little Women (1994) on Tuesday December 22nd starting at either 3 or 4 PM EST in the official MS Discord.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay, with the conclusion of the most recent survivor game, with the French Dispatch coming out at the end of the month and some interest shown. This week I hope to screen at least one (maybe 2 if availability is good) Wes Anderson films. Likely ones that people haven't seen, but if one has a lot of interest well, we should likely watch it. Below is the when2meet for it.
