This will take place on Sundays at noontime EST.

The movie for this week will be Black Book!

Foxy lady spies, awww yeah.

------------

This is just like that other group, isn't it? Well, kinda!

...I say this is more UK friendly, yet I use my own timezone. I'm awful! And since it's a weekend and morning time for the people at WM, I highly doubt the chat would be opened to us. At this point, you're probably wondering "Sparkly, if we don't have a way to chat, it won't be the same! If we don't have one, I won't stick around! And fish and chips are delicious!" I know, I agree 110% and because of that, I thought I'd give some more love to the Screened Steam group. We could all load up the chat and hopefully the admins there could make it a Steam event so that it pops up as a reminder to join the chat. How great would that be?

There will still be the XBL group of us who watch and those of you who don't have Netflix, but have a means of watching this and have your Xbox in the same room can sync up with us to still converse over what we see. Sound dope? Then add ScreenedPups on Xbox! Hopefully if this grows, I can pass the reins over to someone who doesn't get so easily distracted. Yep!

We'll be pulling most of the films we see from the free Lovefilm list. So feel free to make suggestions!

Don't know what to suggest for fear of a repeat? Or want to know what you've missed? Well then, guess what? We have a list now! :D

You're awesome Sparkly, thanks for making this UK friendly!

Edit: I'll pin this along with the other thread so it's easy for people to find.

Yay. :D :D :D That makes me happy.

@Venatio: Sure thing, dude! I guess I should say this is the UK time-zone friendly one.

@Newten: Hey, thanks, Newten! Hopefully this all goes well and such.

@Sparklykiss: I applaud your initiative, sir. And fish and chips are delicious.

I'll be there if I can get a hold of the film. Don't have a proper streaming service, but luckily, I collect DVDs still. :)

EDIT: Ordered it, should be here thursday. See you then.

Even though I'm American, Good luck with this, everyone!  
BTW, Tell No One looks pretty dark, but not as dark as Battle Royale was for me.

Thanks for setting this up! I wont be able to make this week (shame since I've never seen the film), but hopefully I can in the future.

I'll actually be around for this tomorrow morning (technically, it's the morning for us in the West Coast). I'll set my alarm and make sure everything's running smoothly for those of you in the UK (and Portugal?). Woo.

@Joe: Aw, okay. Maybe next time!

@VinceNotVance: Sweet. I'm in the Steam chat since I can't get on Xbox for this. (Dad has a day off and is playing stuff.) So, yep! Fun times!

That was a really good movie. Special thanks to Hjels, VinceNotVance, Christina, JJWeatherman, and The Sacred Turf for attending. :)

I hope I can join you guys for this on Sunday, I forgot to add it to my rental list so they sent History of Violence instead. Hoping there is time for them to ship another one before Sunday.

Won't make it, unfortunately. Won't be able to get a hold of a copy on such short notice.
