Welcome to the Ace & Aro Movie Club info thread, where you can get information about a movie group managed by a few of your fellow resident AVEN/Arocalypse members!

This activity was put together to allow community members the opportunity to join in the fun of an ace-/aro-friendly space whilst watching videos and chatting together. A regular movie night is one of the ongoing activities hosted by the AMC, with a set of film showtimes, showcasing a different movie every week on Sundays. The films shown are voted in by movie group members.

 

*~*


Movie Night is open to anyone wanting to join in. However, some areas and info are only accessible by regular club members. As members/audience, you will have access to:

  • the movie club "Clubhouse" (read below for more info)
  • updated information of room changes
  • group chats (Skype/Discord) **members only
  • movie/group polls
  • film/music suggestion/request forms
  • additional information about other events/projects, as they occur


Interested? Contact one of the three members listed below for more information or to request access.

 

*~*


If you have any feedback, questions, suggestions or ideas for this thread, feel free to contact myself, Inneruniverse or Faeriefate (on AVEN, Aropocalypse) at any time.

Regards,
~BB/Bipolar Bear/Bbear

Just to let you know, we're currently in the works of making some changes, including a new thread to re-introduce the channel and schedule.

I am also pleased to announce that another AVENite movie group is up and running! Created by member Tails, this channel will feature more movies throughout the week. Click »here« to check it out!

As always, the disclaimer stands. Let us know what you think about the rooms and what you'd be interested in watching. :)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

We've run into a few obstacles with our plans and will no longer be updating {direct links} via threads on the forums. The AVENite Movie/Skype groups will still be around, and you are free to contact inneruniverse, faeriefate or myself for more information about them. We hope you've enjoyed our weekly get-togethers and keep in touch if ever interested. It's been a pleasure! :cake::wub::cake:

Edit: see post below for changes since this announcement. :)

*peeks back in*

Well, this is a bit embarassing. Just when I thought things were done, here, I have another update. :P

Looks like we will be using the Discord app/channel/server (access granted by request) for info-only announcements, FAQ and updates. This will be used to allow for the info to be more readily available and not get buried among the Skype groups chatter and broken command system (oy vey). The googledocs will still be available via PM for those who just want the info without joining a channel or chat.

However, if you would like to be added to the movie group as a regular member, contact us to let us know! Regular members get the additional perk of being able to vote in group polls.

~~Also, inneruniverse will give you cookies ^_^

Over and out!

AMC Film of the week: Willow

Synposis:

In the castle dungeons of the evil Queen-sorceress Bavmorda, a prisoner gives birth to a child who, according to an ancient prophecy, will put an end to the reign of the Queen. A midwife saves the child from her wrath, but is forced to throw her cradle in a river when reached by the Hounds of the Queen. The river brings the child near a village of nelwyns, and little Willow, a small farmer/apprentice magician, finds and adopts her. Willow then begins a difficult journey through the war-torn land of magic and monsters to bring the baby back to her people and fulfill the prophecy with the aid of a few; beginning with Madmartigan--a great, but troublesome swordsman.

Let us know if you'd like to watch with us and/or join the group!

Edit: the video player may have some issues when guests first arrive. Select options > playback > and select "use old broken drive player". For the moment, that is the only available fix. Apologies!

**NEWS** clipart-movie-clapperboard-a8ed.png**NEWS**

We have been very busy, remodeling various movie room features and club resources! Inneruniverse and Faeriefate have worked extensively to fix the problems that have been plaguing the channel. Please let us know if there are any further issues.

Remember, as club members, you gain access to movie polls, film/music suggestion forms and club questionnaires. However, you are not required to download any external apps (aside from the occasional browser plug-in) to attend showtimes. Just contact us for the info and enjoy the show! :)

We are almost at 100% for what we hope to provide in entertainment. Stay tuned!

AMC Film of the week: Halloween Double Feature

With a two-way tie, we will be showing both films as a double feature showing, with brief intermission between them.

The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It! (2007)

Synopsis:
Bullied by her peers, tired of her parents and bugged by her little brother, goth girl Cassie decides to get some harmless revenge by reading a scary book to her brother - summoning a monster in the process.

*~*

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Synopsis:
Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn't quite understand the concept.

***

The countdown to Halloween is moving closer! We have a movie marathon planned for the 31st, comprised of a number of Halloween-themed/horror films; including the past poll winners throughout the entire month of October. It will begin at the end of the last Sunday's showtime event and will finish approximately around midnight, Monday (US-EDT).

After a few updates and patches to the userscript and the room, we can happily say that videos are now playable on tablets and phones without much issue. We know this has been a problem in the past, but hopefully it will remain a past issue. Of course, should any problems occur, please let us know.

Now, this is important...We have been working a lot on a number of features and club activities for the entertainment of our friends and those wishing to join as audience. However, this continued effort depends on numbers and feedback. We ask that those who are interested in joining, but may have schedule or time conflicts, contact us with their input and reasons so that we may adjust the showtimes and schedules.

Participation is free, of course, but (genuinely) the effort has not been matched, lately, with the participation returns. I don't want anyone to feel obligated to join, naturally. We just need to know that people want this to continue happening to justify the extensive time we are putting into it. I hope people will take some time to consider this and leave comments or PM with their thoughts, questions or suggestions.

Muchly appreciative,

~BB

Hopefully, the video player behaves, today!

P.S. AVEN has been derpy, so this was posted late. Showtimes will change next week!
