Hi, all--

I am happy to report that thanks to Daughter Dee's help, we can now watch Vimeo movies on our television, and last night we watched "Coming Through the Rye." Or at least part of it. Unfortunately, this movie was two thumbs down for both Clif and me. For us, the acting was too broad and amateurish, more appropriate for a Nickelodeon crowd than for the, ahem, very mature audience of Cinema Exploration.

Tonight, we will sample one of the movies from the links below. Is there one you would like us to watch first?

Tomorrow night, we will be watching with hope and horror as the election unfolds.

Is the meeting on Wednesday or Thursday? If it's Thursday, then we can come.

As much as it might simplify some things for everyone this coming week, we do have quite a few films to watch and quite a few other films on our list to consider so I’m not convinced that skipping a week is a good idea. If we do that, we would definitely need to commit to using the links to stream the films and watch them at home. Obviously some folks may need to watch some or all of the films that way depending on their personal schedules. I’d like to have people address when they would be available next week to see if we can find one or two days when we would likely have a fairly representative turnout for screenings/meetings.

I’m not sure how it would for the meeting, but we were working on being able to set something up so that Bill could attend a meeting remotely from home. Bill, that might not resolve your scheduling issues, but hopefully that would help.

Thanks,

Joel

I'm doing a vet's day tradition Thursday & Friday - push back against "patriot" scoundrels. Will probably be too exhausted on Wednesday - unless the results are clear early, which is looking doubtful. Anybody feel O.K. With skipping a week? (I promise to do my homework.)

    Ken has been very helpful and we now have five links with which to
    stream films. We also have learned that “COMMAND AND CONTROL” does
    broadcast on PBS as an “American Experience” in January and is
    unavailable. I have removed this from our lists. We have four
    films from Abramorama. One is a new film called “BEST WORST THING
    THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED...”. The IMDb synopsis: “This film
    from acclaimed theater director Lonny Price charts the journey of
    the original cast of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along" in
    the 30-plus years since the musical debuted on Broadway at the
    Alvin Theatre in 1981.”  I have added this to our lists. We also
    now have a link for “THE ANTHROPOLOGIST.” We have also inquired
    about “OFF THE RAILS.” We are waiting for a return e-mail from them.

    I don’t know if we may encounter similar problems if we try to
    project the streaming onto the big screen that we experienced with
    “COMING THROUGH THE RYE” or not. Five films and possibly one more
    is quite a bit to schedule for group screenings. Alan, can you
    check their suitability for a group screening. I don’t know what
    else may be going on at the Square this week, but who would be
    available Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday (There’s almost a
    tradition for us to screen something on Veterans Day) mornings.
    Probably the best advice would be to watch them on your own at
    home if you are comfortable doing that since there are so many.
