Heath Ledger Film Festival - Saturday Events
louisev:
Leslie (MaineWriter) and I live at opposite ends of the country, but we like to watch movies together, so we began to do what we call 'simulcasting', which is to watch a DVD at the same time, while we are on our computers and then discuss it afterwards. We would like to open this entertaining alternative to the rest of Bettermost as a way of honoring the memory of Heath Ledger by scheduling Simulcast DVD viewings for the entire forum.
We will announce a Heath Ledger film in advance, to give other members a chance to rent it, Netflix it or purchase it, and on successive Saturdays at 2 p.m. Eastern time, we will be viewing it, opening a thread for discussion of that movie. If you like, view 'with us'! Otherwise, if you get to view the movie at any time during that weekend, we will have an open discussion of the film. I know I have only seen a total of 3 Heath Ledger movies and would like to branch out.
So starting February 16 we will start our Heath Ledger Film Festival with the early Australian film: 'Two Hands' This should give people plenty of opportunity to buy or find it in Netflix. 11 a.m. Pacific time, 2 p.m. Eastern time, 8 p.m. Central European Time. Please let us know what you think of the idea and please join us for the discussion each week starting February 16!!
Please let us know what you think of the Film Festival, whether you plan to join us and any other suggestions. This will also be announced in the Social Events Roundup.

I love this idea, and the choice of movie is great as well, Two hands was the fist movie i ever seen him in.
seeing as your starting with Two hands why not move on to the next one made 10 things i hate about you (or maybe they were the other way round)and from there watch them in order of release date. that way you can watch him grow as an actor and person and see how he changes over time.
I REALLY didn't describe that they way i wanted lacking in sleep and brain function at the moment :) but i'm sure you kind of get what i'm saying. Hopefully ???

I think this is a good idea. But regrettably I can't participate due to time difference, in fact, I'm not sure if I could watch a Heath film yet. Anyway, it's great to celebrate Heath in this way.

What a nice idea :) . I work that evening but, since I own that movie it's no problem. In fact i own all movies up to I'm not here which isn't released on DVD yet.....I know, I'm addicted..... :laugh:

We tried to pick a time that would work for about half the world, and we knew it would be hard for folks in Asia and Australia, unless they are insomniacs (sorry, yb!). But the idea is that not all viewing has to be synchronous. If you want to participate, sometime during the weekend of Feb 16, watch "Two Hands," and then post comments here in this thread.
Bec, I think your recommendation to watch "10 Things I Hate About You" on Feb 23rd is a fine idea.
