A few friends and I are planning a Forum Wide Viewing of Avatar. We are still in the planning stage and need your help.

We need to get estimates of who would be interested in joining and when would be best.

We plan on using Skype and Vlc as a means of communication and playing the video.
**You must have your own copy of avatar**

Please post in the poll and leave a post saying if you are interested and when.

Need info? Pm me!

Hmmm a group viewing you say? if it's a video chat you'll see me all excited then press play, then my expressions will change and you'll see tears constantly running down my face from beginning to end... I'll see

I would love to try this.

What I don't love though, is timezones

not sure how does it work, I have a blu-ray and a PS3, and I use my TV as a monitor so I cannot be on PC and PS3 at the same time...

I'm down for it don't have a suggestion on the time though...

If the time will work out for me then sure.

Great! Glad to see people are on board!

We're having issues with a streaming system, so we might have to end up syncing it by hand. If a lot of people join, it may not be feasible.

I'll keep you all updated.

Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. I live in the same timezone as you, for example, but there are international members too.

Maybe we should lump everyone into timezones and then organize multiple group viewings based on that.

so how does it work?

Well it is VERY interesting idea. However I am not sure, if I will convince myself to join, because I promised myslef, that my next viewing will be in cinema.

And yes, how exactly does it work?

Yeah I also planned on waiting until it's re-released but I equally want to try this out too. I'll join if we can do this ASAP

To be perfectly honest, I think that talking and chatting during the movie would ruin the experience for me...

I'll pass.

I think it's a great idea.

Seriously, just pick a time (on say, Saturday) that would be mid-afternoon for the US and night for a lot of Europe. That's probably the most practical time. Set it up and see what happens.

If it flops, then who cares? At least you tried, maybe you learned something and can try it again later.

But please, PLEASE don't just let this slip away

I really, really like this idea. I'd definitely be interested in participating in this, seeing as i haven't seen it in around 3 months. (Hell, the blu-ray hasn't even been played yet. )

As everyone else has said though, it's just a question of those pesky timezones. (I'm GMT by the way. )

Oh I forgot to add that I'm GMT too.
