Gauging interest in a group watch of Hornblower

Jan 03, 2010 12:59

What do you think? The M&C and LOTR ones looked like so much fun. We talked about it before and then I did nothing about it. This was because I had no private internet at the time, but nowadays only a persian kitten and numerous ants are around to hear me squee.

First and foremost, for me it would need to be on a Friday night or a Saturday as I ( Read more... )

fangirl insanity, group watch, filmverse, fangirls to me!

1) B, it would depend when it was going to be.

2) I think Mutiny/Retribution would be the best bet as it's got both Archie and Bush. To be honest I probably wouldnt participate if it was the Peck film as Gruffudd is Hornblower for me, eye rolling and all.

3) I'm in GMT.

4) I suck at that sort of stuff.

5) I can't do Saturday's during the day, it'd need to be after 9pm, although a Friday after 9pm would be better.

I'd like to do a group watch and am happy to watch anything from the TV series, but I'm not sure how feasible a live one is, could I suggest instead of watching it together, we just have a weekend where people should have watched it by and then people can drop in and out as they've got the time to chat about it?

This is a great idea. I'm attached to trying to pull the group watch thing together because of the sense of an event, but we should also do a weekend-watch.

In any case I have your preferences down. Late friday evenings GMT are good for me too, and if the USA can rush home from work quickly... the only problem is Oz then, but we haven't had any Oz replies yet.

Maybe we could maybe do a weekend thing in spring/summer, in the absence of new texts events, like the alphabet soups, seems to be the main way to keep the fandom going. There could be a rewatch of something like Mutiny/Retribution and perhaps people could do fics and meta and what not.

That's a really good idea - I timed this for when Alphabet Soup would be over, but actually it's cutting it a bit soon, if we want to give people some lag time.

Thanks. Cripes, I'm rubbish at this.
