an online vs. game where you flex your knowledge of movie actors / writers / directors / etc. you pick a movie, then your opponent has to pick another movie with a shared actor*, then you do the same, and so on.
deceptively simple but so fun, and amazing in a group setting where you and your friends can combine all your cinema braincells together. genuinely an extremely deep competitive game as games go too - there are so many different ways to be good at it. maybe you’re the guy who takes everyone to bollywood and then kills them. maybe you’re the guy that tries to get nicholas braun so you can destroy millenials who don’t know anything about disney channel original movies. maybe you just watch every fucking movie that comes out as it comes out and can beat people with movies that came out like, last week.
highly recommend for cinephiles and gamers alike

Im a power user on the Cine2Nerdle live battles.
The game is basically 7 degrees of Kevin bacon but with every and any filmmakers and actors in IMDb. it’s very fun to play and fast paced. you have to play to understand.
There is complex strategy and subculture that surrounds the live battles that I can explain further if anyone is interested.
I specialize in very 2nd rate rom coms of the 2000-2010s so anytime a rival player plays anything related to Anna Kendrick or Jennifer Lopez - it’s OVER!
my username is Alainnam - would love to run into one of you there.

movie game is my favourite way to decide what to watch with a group. it’s best played with a big dvd collection but works for streaming too.
everyone gets thirty seconds to pick two available movies. we put the chosen dvd boxes or a piece of paper with the movie name on the table. then there’s an elimination round: after a five second countdown everyone simultaneously chooses a movie to veto by touching a movie box/name. if there’s still a bunch of movies you can do a second veto round. then it’s the voting round. another five second countdown then everyone touches the movie they want to watch. the movie with the most votes wins and thats what we watch

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

it’s so bad that discourse about it being bad is kind of played out now but it bears repeating how fucking bad it is
