Books and Movies

Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 442 views 6 comments
Johnnyb25 and I have been having many conversations about books and movies we enjoy and discuss. We have been thinking about starting a Book/Movie Club/Dialogue on the blogs. A book or movie would be selected, time given to see or read it and then people could provide their thoughts regarding it. Critiques, how it relates to other authors or film makers. A general discussion about what impacted each of us from the material. How representative it is of the genre, etc.

The purpose of this post is to see if anyone else here on GBT would like to participate in such a thing. We have a first movie in mind, but before we launch into a direct discussion, we were interested in determining if anyone would want to participate. If there is no interest, we can continue our dialogue outside of the blogs. We don’t want to bore everyone with just our thoughts.

So if could, post your thoughts about this over the next few days, we can determine the next steps. We would envisage a new blog for each book or movie that was picked. So give us your thoughts on participation. Separately, we will develop a way to gather thoughts on what movies and/or book should be up for discussion. We will do everything to try to make any selection easily available to members.

So tell us what you think.

Thanks Thomas and Johnny

A movie would work for me but finding time to do much more reading other than work is a task, but sounds like a good idea and I will give it a try. :)

I read this and think its a great idea myself and I would participate, and I would find the time, I think it would be fun and I would be on board to give it a try. Please keep me informed.

Thomas I think its a great way to escape the doom and gloom of late dont have a lot of time for reading anything other than for school but would certainly try to read at least some of the choices as for movies it has to be something really good for us to pay to see it and not wait until its on the free list but again think its a great idea and will participate when we can

Sounds good Thomas. Could help draw more members to the Blog Section. Sorry, but for me I just don't have the luxury time to read a book and many movies are rentals for mindless entertainment.
Blog wouldn't do much for me but GO FOR IT.
