I think you watch the movie, than discuss afterwards. If Skype is involved, than I just got booted.
Yeah, we all meet up on skype and do a group call/ message (for those without mics) and we all start our movies at the same time and watch and talk about the movie together and have fun!
Hmm, it’s 11:00pm for me, which wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have a full day of work the next day. Put me down as a ‘maybe’ and I’ll see if I’m up to it. If I don’t turn up though, hope you guys all have fun!
Aw IncredigirlVirginia, you should get Skype! It’s free and really simple to use.
Sorry, I’m still a little bit confused. So, we’re going do this on Skype. Doesn’t that mean we all need to get each other’s Skype names then? Do I give out mine?
Sorry I missed today’s PPMN! Did you guys manage to set it up and get it going?
A member has asked me if I’m the organiser of P Planet Movie Nights. As far as I’m aware, ffdude1906 usually runs the Skype sessions, but he’s absent lately. I apologize if I misled anyone into thinking I was hosting the session today; I was under the impression I merely provided a suggested time and movie, and it was up to anyone to take it on. Gaaah…
Hopefully the next one will be more organised. In light of ffude’s absence, I wouldn’t mind stepping up to the plate. If anyone else wants to, you’re welcome to volunteer yourself!
I don’t think it even happened, considering nobody gave out their Skype accounts. I was talking about it with Chris and a few others the other day on Twitter, and he said he’d like to set it up again this summer, but this week wasn’t good for him.
K, thanks for the update Bryko!
I’ve been talking with a few members about resurrecting ffdude’s legacy to this forum, and there’s no better time to do it than this summer holidays, before everyone returns to school (I will be next week! ).
So just propose two movie titles (doesn’t have to be Pixar) and dates, and we’ll do an impromptu vote. I haven’t worked out a system yet, but we’ll see how great the demand is for this first attempt.
In case you’re unaware what’s this about, read ffdude’s first post. But in a nutshell, it’s like a Commentary, only you won’t be recorded and you’re free to say your mind (within reasonable family-friendly guidelines, of course).
Here’s my motion:
Wall-E or Toy Story 2 for
Thursday, 15 July 2010 at 12:00:00 UTC time
or
Friday, 16 July 2010 at 00:00:00 UTC time
You’ll need Skype a mic, and lotsa chutzpah. No need for webcams, since we won’t be seeing each other (for privacy reasons, and also improves on latency). That’s all there is to it!
I wouldn’t mind hosting, but anyone else can volunteer as well. My skype username is ‘thedriveintheatre’ (Easy to remember, huh?).
I propose Paulie!
Haha, but in all seriousness, I’m getting the movie tonight so I can watch it tomorrow
I’m good for the Friday slot, and for Toy Story 2, as I can’t find my Wall-E disk
The Thursday time is good for me, and I guess Toy Story 2 cause I only have WALL-E on Bluray.
Yes, I’m so excited! This will be my first one! I definitely can’t make it if it’s on Thursday, but I definitely could do Friday. I have both WALL-E and TS2.
Haha, glad you took my recommendation (to the rest, it’s a film I suggested to thewisecookiesheet while we were discussing Blue Sky’s Rio )! Tell me what you think of it- I feel like watching it again…
So it’s 2 for Friday, and 1 for Thursday. I’m okay either day, but I’m voting for Toy Story 2 in the spirit of the latest release. Anyone else voting for Thursday (And would Friday also be okay with you, Bryko)?
Okay, so it’s a unanimous vote for Toy Story 2, and the majority is in favour of Friday (gives more time for people to make plans, anyway).
Friday, 16 July 2010 at 00:00:00 UTC time
So post your Skype names here if you haven’t, and we’ll add each other on the day (or earlier if you want to). You can set up a Pixar Planet-specific account like me if you want to. And if your computer doesn’t have a built-in mic, get any cheap one will do. As long as you have speakers, headsets aren’t a necessity. And of course, your own copy of Toy Story 2!
And anyone is free to hop in mid-session if you’re free!
How are we going to sync our DVDs together?

I’ll probably be there for, like, 10 minutes if that.

Nice to see the PPMN is making a comback… I have to decline involvement for the moment… mainly cause I have company with me at those hours and considering some of the members involved at the moment and my inavbility to see Toy Story 3 until after the 23rd of July I think its best for me to not attend until the feature has been seen.
Enjoy the chat guys!
We all set to the first frame when Luxo appears when he hops in, then someone says ‘Go’ or ‘Start’.
Hope you can attend a future one, Captain Pan!
I’m with Captain Pan on this one, I’d love to be able to attend one of these sessions but the timings aren’t great for me and I don’t want to risk hearing any Toy Story 3 talk. But I hope you all have fun!
Yes, Friday works out great for me! I’d say that there’s about an 89.7% chance I’ll be there. Why 89.7? I dunno, it’s just a completely random number. But what I mean is that I’ll probably be there!
My Skype name is: deffjing
I haven’t been on Skype in years probably. I hope I still remember my password!
See you peeps (or rather, hear you peeps) on Friday [/b]
