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.

theres no obligation to rate, realise some dont on here, more a guide to choosing a film for someone. most of us here have a fair idea of each other tastes so it shouldnt be a problem. maybe have to check if someone had seen the film before i suppose. will think on it.

streaming site friendly recs are a great idea, again most of us will have access to at least one. this is evolving project an input gladly received. im not against buying stuff either rarely have ÂŖ sadly so torrents n streams it is for now

early tweaks/suggestions are -

Easily accessible choices. can still be obscure, theres plenty on the TE Theater v2.0

Peoples taste/if theyve seen a film. if the person you get in roulette you are not familiar with, anbd they dont rate here, imdb or any other filmy websites, you could always ask them.

if enough are interested we can swap, spin again, whatever. all 'rules' are loose at the mo.

as the timescale to watch would be at least a week, people can reply in the roulette thread with recs. if youve seen it before say so and another pick can be made.

we could do an experimental test run of wheel spin thing, like practice, ahead of time. its always easier to understand when you see something, rather than my inept attempt at explanation

good idea about the spots n desc & links - letterboxd accs is the main way people choose recs in the roulette community i stole this idea from. you can see if they've seen before, have an idea of taste, and if they have a watchlist thats ready made suggestions.

we could then reply to each others 'spot' in the thread with whatever feedback on the movie, and just create a brand new thread each week/fortnight/month. there's bound to be diff numbers of participants each time too so new threads makes sense

""I enjoy slashers, zombies, and Maximum Overdrive."" haha is that your lbxd bio?
