You could have made a single poll, and done check boxes. I'd be down for any night of the weekend, but I can only choose one in your poll

First time making polls. It's gonna have to do I guess.

Yea... one would have been better, and include either multiple selection or something like no preference. Also you should have made text box for username and movie suggestion so you could have had it all in one place instead of keeping track of it via PM.

My movie night selection: Zebraman

I will keep the scores for each poll as up to date as I can in the OP. So far I'm getting a clear picture of what the general consensus is but I know there are more interested people out there who have not voted yet!! please vote!!

Nub question: What will we be watching the movie on? netflix,hulu etc or a Geekhack special source?

I love documentaries if only it's not redneck usa crap

But it would be cool to see local Docu's from the people outside of the US.

Food guns and politics

So far it looks like we will be watching on an online streaming service that streams the film off of a users computer. However, you can download the movie on your own and press play simultaneously using a countdown timer I will provide each week. You're free to watch from any source you'd like. The chat we I'll be having during the movie will most likely be via the streaming service judging by the poll question so far, so you will need to pause the stream and watch your own source if that's the rout you wish to take. This way you can still chat with us. I believe hoffmanmyster has the details on this streaming service.

I like to use Livestream Procaster. I've streamed many movies this way and have a channel dedicated to movie streaming. One minor drawback: an un-verified channel has a 50-viewer limit. I tried to verify my channel but there isn't enough content yet so that didn't work out. Because of this, if we end up with more than 50 viewers attempting to watch, we will have issues. Thoughts?

I've got only about 13 voters so far in the polls. If that's a reflection of the level of participation we will have I don't think that will be an issue.

EDIT: In other words, come on people vote in the polls haha

Thanks for offering to host the stream, Hoffman! So, how would this work? Do participants need to make an account, or is it open to the public?

EDIT: Vote for Zebra Man -- your life depends on it.

I'm pretty sure Hoff won't be able to host the stream every single week, so once we get into this we will need to make sure we have a host each week.

To view the streaming service I use, you simply enter in the URL of the streaming channel and click play to view the stream. To chat, you need to create a "profile" (start talking and it will ask you to identify with a username - that's it, no registration or anything).

I'm more than happy to stream every week if people are happy with the way I do it. I might not be able to watch every week due to homework, but I can start the stream and walk away if need be. All I'd need is ample time to get the movie downloaded and ready to go. Or I'd be perfectly happy letting other people stream too! Just saying, if it comes down to it I certainly don't mind streaming.

Thats great! Just be sure to let us know if for any reason you can't. And as far as advance notice goes I'll be picking the movie well ahead of time. I will have a regular draw date.

You can download the movie yourself if you'd like, that's what I will be doing. But as mentioned before, we will be using a streaming service for those of us who would rather stream. Hoffmanmyster has offered to stream each week via livestream procaster.

It certainly is not. But you are free to acquire a bluray version independently and hit play when my countdown timer hits zero like the rest of us. Sync it with the stream if the opening credits run longer on your version. Might be tricky but can you place a price on quality?

So far the suggestion list is very low. Only like 5 so far. So please spread the word and get your picks in. Once the date comes closer I will post the list. I will be making an Official movie night thread that's not an IC so I can reserve a few posts after the OP. Polls are ending tonight but I will be taking movie picks continuously as long as this goes on.
