The new 2018 Strange Club movie season!?!?

January 2, 2018 1:24 PM

This is one of the biggest clubs on FanFare. I joined and then participated not one bit. Is anyone interested in say a 10 film series for the first half of 2018?

Great to see interest in Strange Club! I've had trouble organizing because things have been crazy in my life, and my wife is expecting in a matter of weeks, so it's not looking to change soon. If you or multiple people want to pick up the mantle, though, it's there for the taking. I'd be keen to participate in a 10 film series.

A recent film that comes to mind, because I just saw it a few days ago: Yorgos Lanthimos' The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Also, I highly recommend the new site Watch This Thing, which keeps track of all the psychotronic/cult/arthouse/b-movie/etc films that are on streaming sites. It seems to be updated every day, or nearly every day.

I was thinking an all Fandor series. A Zed and Two Noughts, Santa Sangre, and Pi are all playing. The lesser known cousins of Oldboy were there the last time I looked. I will post a schedule.

Congratulations to you and your wife!

Congrats to the najus + future baby naju!

My participation in Strange Club (and Fanfare watches in general) fell off big time last year, so I kind of lost track of things as well. But I'm definitely interested in keeping things going! I don't recall what our previous schedule was like, but I think having a new watch thread every two weeks (with an announce thread posted during the off-week) would be very doable.
