This week's movie is Cinema Paradiso.
It can be found on Netflix.
Also, I'm proud to introduce the Hubski Movie Club Theater this week! This week's feature will play at Sunday, October 4 at 8:00 P.M EST so be at the link at that time!
The stream is synchronized so you won't be able to go back to any parts missed. Just like the real theater experience! (Don't know if I can go into any settings to change this). Also, the video has only been processed for 360p, 480p, and 1080p so sorry if you were looking for that 720p sweet spot (maybe it will process before Sunday and surprise us).
Might even start by showing trailers for upcoming releases at 7:45 to get into the feel of things. Also, pay no attention if the movie length says 2:20. It's 2:04 like it should be. Video file is just a little off on its own run time, but I've already checked to make sure it's the normal version, not extended.
Lastly, since it's in Italian, you can use subtitles by clicking CC. If you get subtitles with a black background box, click the gear icon, then click options next to subtitles and set background opacity to 0% ,and you should get only the text with no background box.
Discussion thread will be up next Sunday!
Oh, and if enough people want a second showing at a later date, let me know in the comments, and I'll consider it.
Enjoy!

So, the theater was short on attendance today. But I decided to try again and be more proactive with notifying and reminding everyone. But I do want some feedback for when you guys want the next stream. I'm thinking either Monday (tomorrow) or Wedneday. I'm also wondering whether you want 8 EST or 9 EST, cause I feel bad for west coast people. Either that or I could have the movie stream back-to-back. Please let me know. I hope to make this work. If no one replies, I'm probably going to do it Wednesday at 9 EST, maybe with back to back showings. Once times are decided upon, I'll leave comments tagging everyone in the morning of the showing, one hour before the showing, and at the time of the showing. Hope this helps everyone. b_b, humanodon, ButterflyEffect, OftenBen, roysexton, iammyownrushmore, blackbootz,_refugee_, mk, eightbitsamurai, Ave, camarillobrillo, havires, kleinbl00, ecib, insomniasexx, elizabeth, nowaypablo, pigeon, rjw, StJohn, Mindwolf, Meriadoc, beezneez, longstocking, theadvancedapes, ghostoffuffle, T-Dog, jonaswildman, coffeesp00ns, bfv, cgod, mike, thenewgreen, zebra2, Kaius, Zurangatang, InkBubble, Scorpio, enjoyablethings, edricarica, subduedit, protorobot, War, Formerly_Me, joelg236, steve, rinx
Thanks for the advice. I plan on keeping it going. But I'm putting it out there so that everyone knows what I'm planning and everyone can add input for times. Eventually, what I choose will be standard every week.
wednesday is better for me. I caught the tag late, but I watched a fair bit before I had to go off and do some stuff. looking forward to seeing it all!
Wednesdays usually work for me too! These next few weeks are going to be kinda busy for me, though, so I probably won't be able to attend the next two.
I'm traveling most of the week and will not be able to attend. I love the idea though.
The stream will play today at 9 EST at the link at the top of the post. I actually forgot I'm going to be at a concert tonight, but I'll be able to set things up from my phone. I'll send out another reminder at 8EST. b_b, humanodon, ButterflyEffect, OftenBen, roysexton, iammyownrushmore, blackbootz,_refugee_, mk, eightbitsamurai, Ave, camarillobrillo, havires, kleinbl00, ecib, insomniasexx, elizabeth, nowaypablo, pigeon, rjw, StJohn, Mindwolf, Meriadoc, beezneez, longstocking, theadvancedapes, ghostoffuffle, T-Dog, jonaswildman, coffeesp00ns, bfv, cgod, mike, thenewgreen, zebra2, Kaius, Zurangatang, InkBubble, Scorpio, enjoyablethings, edricarica, subduedit, protorobot, War, Formerly_Me, joelg236, steve, rinx,
That was awesome! steve I want to hear about the extended version. What was different about it? Do they explain her absence? Do they say "why" she never returns or is found? Does she show up at the end...? Is it all tied up in a nice little bow? If so, I'm glad we didn't watch it. I prefer not knowing. It's much more realistic.
The palpable pain of not knowing what became of Elena is what makes this release SO good in my opinion. Honestly - I only saw the re-release once (or maybe twice). So I'll tell you what I remember: Toto finds out what happened to her. I think she even married his pudgy friend from childhood or something. Anyway, they have this "what could have been" conversation and then they have sex in a car like a couple of teenagers. It turns out Alfredo told her to keep her distance or something. Anyway - you can read about it on wikipedia. Knowing what happens to Elena makes for a more tragic, less magic film. I loved the mystique of not knowing. Love lost, you know? In the original - you just love Alfredo completely. In the extended cut you just kinda think he's a manipulative prick. That's what I remember. I might re-watch the newer version to see if I feel differently now.
Showtime! b_b, humanodon, ButterflyEffect, OftenBen, roysexton, iammyownrushmore, blackbootz,_refugee_, mk, eightbitsamurai, Ave, camarillobrillo, havires, kleinbl00, ecib, insomniasexx, elizabeth, nowaypablo, pigeon, rjw, StJohn, Mindwolf, Meriadoc, beezneez, longstocking, theadvancedapes, ghostoffuffle, T-Dog, jonaswildman, coffeesp00ns, bfv, cgod, mike, thenewgreen, zebra2, Kaius, Zurangatang, InkBubble, Scorpio, enjoyablethings, edricarica, subduedit, protorobot, War, Formerly_Me, joelg236, steve, rinx
Dammit, I forgot this was today and am out and about. Next time I'm putting this in my calendar but I'll watch it separately over the next couple days.

Hey lelibertaire, thanks a ton for putting together the theater. It's been great watching Cinema Paradiso with some folks and I think it will lead to some great discussion once we get to that point.
Glad you enjoyed it! Looked a lot more successful this time around. Chat was entertaining now that I've been able to read it. Can't wait to set up the next round and actually participate

Woooooooooooooooooooo. Someone pray there's no traffic in dtla for me! Hahaha Hahaha I'll join in when I get home
I got to this late, because i wasn't subscribed to #movieclub like i should have been. I loved what I saw of the movie, though! beautiful.
I'll probably do it, again. And I'll do more comments with notifications next time.
Let's definitely do it again. I seriously think with even like 2 or 3 more people, it would be awesome.
Just realized I forgot to specify the showing will be on Sunday! Oops! Hope no one goes looking for the movie tonight. Again, let me know if other times are better, and I'll consider a second showing.
