This is a really cool idea, and I’m down to try. How about we start by scheduling a weekly movie night with a poll for what to watch?

    That’s fair. I have a more difficult time coming up with ideas, especially with the anxiety of trying to involve other people. Just thinking the schedule and consensus would help with initial participation.

      Hosting the first one was kind of anxiety inducing, but a few people did join in on the Starship Troopers live thread, so it beat my expectations, which was zero haha. My advice is to pick a fun movie you haven’t watched in at least six months, or a movie you’ve heard really good stuff about, and just jump in and host a watch party. Two of the bigger movie communities with lots of subscribers are !moviesandtv@lemmy.film and !movies@lemmy.world. If you cross-post your watch party announcement there, that’ll generate some interest and some may join the live thread and/or subscribe to this community for further watch parties. Just don’t cross post the live thread, as that’ll fragment the conversation between the different communities. It’ll be a little bit like talking to the wall at first in the live thread until more people get in on the action, and that’s okay, just have fun!
