Hi

After have some thought about it all I am at a loss. I have thought of
lots of things that will be cool to show throughout the rest of the
year.

What I think the decision needs to be based on is if we can get our
hands on any new/ imported movie. As something like that will really
draw the punters.

The second question we need to ask is what movie ( if we cannot get
shinneyness) will put the most bums on seats.

We need to be unscrupulous and Evil. The people who will Join ifis at
the stall and or come to the first movie will do whatever the movie is
showing. ( the more hardcore sifi fans)..

Martin

( ps:- done far to early in the morning with a hangover ideas may yet
still arrive in my head)

At the risk of sounding an old fogey....

The golden age of cinema in the 50s used Saturday morning serials to get
youngsters in week after week. Larry "Buster" Crab as Flash Gordon, for
example. How about showing something that comes in episodes over a period of
a few weeks as a way of getting new members into the habit?

My first thought was the British TV series "Ultraviolet". Other crowd
pleasers might be things like The 4400, new Battlestar...

I shall refrain from interfering further....
Regards
Ewen

I've got a set of the Buster Crabbe (correct spelling) Flash Gordon's on DVD - loved
them ever since there was a repeat of them on BBC2 in the early 80s. Sadly the DVD
versions stink - poorly centered, cut off at one side, very little clean up at all.

Buster Crabbe was also the original movie series Buck Rogers, and has an appearance
in the Larsen late 70s version of the series so beloved of bbc early evening
schedulers before they discovered the Simpsons

V for Vendetta? It's the nearest new release of shinyness.

We might have to wait and see what else comes out, in case something good comes out closer to the time?

I am reliably informed, that playing Urotsukidoji at the stand at
fresher's fair drew in a large membership.

Having giant lightsabre battles works too... Not sure they would let us do
that now though! :) :P

except if Anime will get deratified if they show such things, i suspect the SU might also frown on us showing it.
