ok if enough people are interested this could be fun and maybe hopefully stimulate some TE activity, which i for one have been guilty of neglecting recently.
stole this from someone else, basically everyone involved chooses a film for someone else to watch within a timescale. who recs whom is decided randomly by a free online 'wheel of choice*' app (or something, i dont dallt the kids these days) ideally a film that person hasnt seen before, but you think theyd like. you can check here on TE from someones ratings what thier taste is, or which films they havent seen. or check imdb, letterboxd, etc etc
for this example names here taken randomly from front page of TE at time of typing (ie - please dont moan if i dint include you in the example. but please still join in.) right, heres goes
Znep, Messiah, Onyx, Ballz, Atomic & Marcus are all in roulette.
first spin is Onyx, next Ballz = Onyx would choose a film for Ballz to watch.
next Znep = Ballz would choose a film for znep to watch.
and so on and so forth until last person would rec first out. eg Marcus rec Onyx.
then we have a week to watch the film & give a little feedback to the person who recd here on TE, from a simple 'thats great' or 'fkin dire' or a longer comment on what you liked or didnt about your rec.
it could be cool to share your favourite films with others, influence, or just stick to horror as most of us love that genre.
totally open to timescales of watching as know some are busier than others. we could help with torrent/stream links, or stick to easily accessible movies, whatever. all suggestions welcome to improve this idea
any thoughts? apart from i shoulda added images to this massive boring block of text?
oh yeah * = the dude i stole this off rabb.its the wheelspin live so if folk want to verify the randomness of the wheel it all valid. its either fun to see who you get, or massive paranoia that the spins fixed.
who cares, i just like the idea of us lot recommending each other unseen gems, which is basically what we do, but this gives a bit more impetus to actually get around to watching them, and some interaction.

I'll try anything though, if others want to join. I think if someone joins, maybe they can specify what their options are for viewing. Myself for example, I have access to youtube, hulu, and netflix. So my recommendations are limited to my means of watching. Hopefully, I'll get a new kodi box soon, and then I can watch most anything again, but I'm kinda limited as of now. Just a thought. If it's a movie that could be found in stores, I'm not against buying stuff. I just haven't been buying stuff.
