I have yet to see the unedited version the reboot in 2013 so I was only able to see a girl get restrained by plants but not stripped while some rather horrible looking root finds it's way up between her legs and suggests it enters her that way. The reboot just has a nasty violation that looks like it would kill a girl. However, I unfortunately need to watch it again to make a better comment about the scene in the reboot.

| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Post it in the Slack channel '''#theater_discussion''' and post it as "Movie Suggestion: (movie title)"
| |
| − | # Send a Slack DM (direct message) to '''@lloyd.black''' with the message '''"TDN-Movie Suggestion: (movie title)"'''
| |

| |
| − | # Or manually email lloyd.black999@gmail.com, with the subject '''"FamiLAB - TDN"''' and in the body of the message: '''"Movie Suggestion: (movie title)"''' and if possible give a brief description.
| |

| − |
| |
| − | :Lloyd Black organizes which movies are to be selected and the suggestions in general. You may reach him on Slack at @lloyd.black .
| |
| − | :Please send suggestions to him and discuss suggestions with him.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Some restrictions when it comes to suggestions:'''
| |
| − | * The MPAA movie rating would be beneficial when suggesting a movie so it may be properly listed. However, it's accepted that some movies, such as "direct to video" types, may be "Unrated".
| |
| − | * Historical or "Based on true events" movies are likely to be rejected as this event is for fictional movies only.
| |
| − | * TV shows will NOT be accepted into the suggested movie list. This event is for movies only. However, Dustin and Lloyd may override this for special situations.
| |
| − | * Very short 'made for TV' series (TV movies) are allowed, like 2-6 episode for the entire series, like many 'Stephen King' TV movies. "Rose Red" is a good example as it's split into two segments.
| |
| − | * Additionally, segmented movies will include an intermission between segments for the comfort of attendees to the event.
| |
| − | * Romantic and romantic comedies are extremely unlikely to be accepted as they are outside of the original scope of the purpose of the event.
| |
| − | * Overly positive and 'feel good' movies are also extremely unlikely to be accepted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Keep in mind, this event was originally supposed to be for fun 80's era Sci-Fi B-movies.
| |
| − | :It has been expanded extensively but was never intended to be for uplifting movies.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Serious restrictions - (Movies that will NEVER be considered):'''
| |
| − | # Actual porn, hardcore or softcore. Porn is totally unacceptable for our events, no exceptions are made for this. This includes hentai style anime, it will NOT be shown at all.
| |
| − | # Any movies that are literal or approximate reenactments of real past events. Again, this event is for fictional movies only.
| |
| − | # Any movies that are religious or have strong political themes. Example: "The Passion of the Christ" will never be shown. This will be enforced.
| |
| − | ::The avoidance of these topics are to avoid arguments during discussions. Even if it's agreed that arguments wouldn't be initiated, religion and politics are usually avoided anyway.
| |
| − | ::Please understand this is event is for peaceful discussions about fictional movies and not for anyone's strong views on topics whether they're related to the movies or not.
| |

| |
| − | == Discussion ==

| − |
| |
| − | '''<u>Basic Discussion Rules:</u>'''
| |
| − | * Please use some common sense when discussing the movie.
| |
| − | * Please keep discussions peaceful, no arguments are to start. The whole experience is to be educational and enjoyed by everyone.
| |

| − | ::If an argument does start you will be required to leave immediately.
| |
| − | * Do not bring your ego into the discussion. Nobody is right or wrong in discussing fictional movies.
| |

| − |
| |
| − | '''Possible general discussions could include the following:'''
| |

| |
| − | * How would the movie reality would evolve in it's future.
| |
| − | * Compare the technology they have to ours. Is it better, worse, totally fictional, a joke, etc..
| |
| − | * (Optional:) Compare the types of people. Are they even comparable in intelligence, etc..
| |
| − | * Are the main characters likeable? Do you identify with the antagonist or the protagonist?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Apocalyptic Movies:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * In an apocalypse movie, what could've changed to prevent the apocalypse that occurred.
| |

| |
| − | * Could one person have been instrumental in changing the course of events.
| |
| − |
| |

| − | * Did it have assistance from a human to become sentient.
| |
| − | * How did the AI evolve over the course of the movie and how long did it take.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Androids (also related to AI):'''
| |
| − | :Example Movies: "Android", "Automata", "Bicentennial Man", "Ex Machina"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * If androids looked similar to real people would you accept them as other people or just machines?
| |

| |
| − | * For women: If there were male looking androids that could pass for human (and anatomically correct) would you date them or avoid any romantic involvement?
| |
| − | * Do you believe androids can achieve sentient status or do you believe they can't obtain that status because they're not organic?
| |
| − | * Could androids obtain sentient status by being sufficiently complex to obtain a soul?
| |
| − | * Have you considered the implications of AI in androids becoming equal to or better than humans in intelligence?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Aliens (if applicable):'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Are they even realistic? Too human? Too alien?
| |
| − | * Would you accept them into our society if they were real?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''False reality situations:'''
| |
| − | :Example Movies: "The Matrix", "The Truman Show", "Dark City"

| |
| − | ==Movie, Financial and Optional Donations==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Movie or other donations for Theater Discussion Night are welcome on the following conditions:===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. Donations in the form of media discs:
| |
| − | * They're to become permanent property of Lloyd after the movie is donated. They're not on a disc loan condition.
| |
| − | * Donations may be in DVD, Blu-ray or HD DVD format. DVD being the preferred format as it's easier to make backups of them.
| |
| − | * They are to be the original disc and not a copy of the movie.
| |
| − | * They must be in playable condition. Preferably in very good visual condition. Broken or badly scratched discs are unusable and pointless as donations.
| |
| − | * It must be a donation, not an offer to purchase the movie. If Lloyd wishes to buy a movie, he will do so through Amazon.com so it's a clear financial transaction, not an undocumented transaction.
| |
| − | * If you wish to purchase a movie for Theater Discussion Night, please consult with Lloyd first about a movie title that would be desired and appreciated for a future TDN event.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. '''Digital download versions of movies are NOT acceptable under any condition. They must be on original physical media such as discs.'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Donations are in no way a solicitation for donations to FamiLAB. Donations are made to Lloyd Black, not to FamiLAB.'''
| |
| − | : Lloyd Black conducts this event and uses his own movie library for this event.
| |
| − | : Additionally, FamiLAB is not to be held liable for any conduct in the process of obtaining donations for this event.
| |
| − | : Lloyd is to be the only person held responsible for the donations of movies intended for the TDN event.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Optional Hardware Donations Are Welcome===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Hardware donations are also of interest.
| |
| − | The following hardware items are of interest to Lloyd for use during Theater Discussion Night:
| |
| − | # Portable DVD players with HDMI output.
| |
| − | # A small "HD DVD" player, for use with the collection of HD DVD movies made for TDN. We have a large one but it's cumbersome to transport.
| |
| − | # A HD DVD drive for a computer. (They're rare and usually about $60. They can be found on Ebay.com.)
| |
| − | :Combined with an external optical drive enclosure, it would be a very handy piece of hardware that would enable Lloyd to play HD DVD discs through his laptop.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Please do not make money donations via check or money order. That would require Lloyd to disclose his real name and that's not preferable to him.
| |
| − | :Cash however is always welcome and will be used towards purchasing a DVD or Blu-Ray movie at a local Walmart, Best Buy or other 'brick and mortar' stores that still sells movies on disc.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Slack Channel for Theater Discussion Night==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :The Slack channel for Theater Discussion Night, '''#theater_discussion''', is for general discussion of the event and movies in general.
| |
| − | :The '''#theater_discussion''' channel is also one of the best ways to contact Lloyd regarding the events.
| |
| − | :It's also good for discussing the movies shown or to be shown, and talking about movies in general whether they're on the list or not.
| |
| − | :Please do not monopolize the channel for discussing certain movies or a sequence of movies like Star Wars, Star Trek or any other movies that follow a specific theme or story line.
| |

| |
| − | ==Movie Selection and Presentation Process==
| |
| − | If people are curious about how movies are selected, here is the process.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; width: 900px; background: #FFFFFF;"
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="text-align: center; background: #565656; color: #ffffff;" colspan="2" | '''Selection and Presentation Process:'''
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Suggestion ||
| |
| − | * The selection process starts with a suggestion from someone or an idea that a certain movie may be fun to watch for everyone.
| |
| − | * The movies shown are never voted upon.
| |
| − | * Lack of voting is done for different reasons which are not presented but also because movies might be voted down due by people who have not seen the movie and are judging based on lack of information.
| |
| − | * If someone is rather passionate about a movie being shown, it can be brought up to Lloyd for special consideration. However, there is still no promise it will be selected.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Selection ||
| |
| − | * The selection is done when a proper pre-purchase preview can be done. Usually, this is done using Netflix rental, streaming or Amazon's movie streaming service or from Lloyd's own video library.
| |
| − | * If Lloyd doesn't already have it and it can't be rented, it may be purchased ahead of time if it's considered worthy of being added to the movie library.
| |
| − | * Additionally, research is done to verify the story and quality of the movie.
| |
| − | * Many movies will be turned down based on many factors. Some will even be not considered for the suggested movie list. Lloyd reserves the right to be selective on this process.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Acquisition ||
| |
| − | * If Lloyd does not own the movie, he purchases it usually through Amazon.com choosing the DVD format by default or whatever is considered the best purchase option.
| |
| − | * This purchase is usually for a movie that's not being shown at the next event. Usually, it's for the event in the following month or later.
| |
| − | * Lloyd never selects movies that are only being rented. He only selects movies that he actually owns the original disc for.
| |
| − | * Movies selected are not the property of FamiLAB. They are property of Lloyd Black and are part of his own movie library.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Preview ||
| |
| − | * Lloyd then watches the movie completely, usually more than once. Previewing more than once is done to note if there's anything questionable or offensive.
| |
| − | * Additionally, watching the movie more than once let's Lloyd catch things not always seen the first time.
| |
| − | * An offensive movie doesn't mean it's not presented, it's just something to bring up during a pre-movie discussion to let attendees know about possible offensive content.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Wallpaper ||
| |
| − | * Lloyd then searches for a movie poster for the movie selected. It is then combined with a suitable wallpaper image that is for showing before the movie is presented.
| |
| − | * The wallpaper is made to be the size of 1920x1080 in size, as that's the display resolution of the projector as a monitor and his own HDTV at home being used for this purpose.
| |
| − | * The wallpaper image is then set as the display wallpaper for the specific desktop background of the laptop for the specific output going to the projector. He always has more than one wallpaper.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Preparation for Presentation ||
| |
| − | * Lloyd then makes a backup of the movie so that the movie may be played from his HDD used exclusively for this purpose.
| |
| − | * The movie is test played coming from the HDD before it's considered safe to be played using that method.
| |
| − | * However, the original movie disc to be shown is always brought with him to prove ownership and in the event that the movie backup doesn't work properly for some reason.
| |
| − | * The decision of which media player is to be used is done. Usually, it's either PowerDVD 16 or VLC Media Player. VLC has become the player of choice recently.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | style="background: #DFDFDF; | Presentation (day of event) ||
| |
| − | * Lloyd Black sets up the necessary hardware for this event at 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM. This consists of his personal laptop with accessories, movie HDD, Bluetooth speakers and HDMI cable.
| |
| − | * The actual event starts at 9:00 PM. Attendees are asked to arrive before this time but the event may be delayed if additional attendees are expected to show.
| |
| − | * Playing the movie is done during the event at 9:30 PM. Again, this may be delayed if other people are expected and have notified Lloyd of this.
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Ideas for Special Future Events==
| |
| − | * Lloyd is considering ideas for special TDN events.
| |
| − | : 1. The first is to watch a set of movies related to each other by topic (but not connected by story) in one long event rather than watch the selected movies over a sequence of weeks or months.
| |
| − | :: The first such event would be about AI (Artificial Intelligence). There are enough interesting movies with this topic in common to bring together movies to last several hours.
| |
| − | :: Additionally, this topic is relevant enough to be of considerable interest to many people today and also captures our imagination as well.
| |
| − | :: This special event may have to be specially arranged to start earlier in the day and last until midnight.
| |
| − | :: Discussions would take place before and after each movie and then have a conclusion or summary discussion at the very end.
| |
| − | :: This special event would include breaks to eat, drink and do any other necessary actions to sustain it's attendees and retain interest in the event.
| |
| − | :: Providing food for the attendees is also being considered. Pot luck buffet is a welcome idea if people are interested in contributing.
| |
| − | : 2. The second idea is to compile a set of short films that by themselves aren't long enough for an event individually.
| |
| − | :: The short films would have a theme in common in order to make them interesting to watch together.
| |
| − | :: A discussion would follow each short film and then a summary discussion would conclude the event.
| |
| − | :: Many short films last anywhere from 10 to 15 mins each. So, 6-12 short films may be watched that would equal a 90 or up to a 120 minute movie.
| |
| − | : 3. Another idea would be to watch a marathon of a sequence of movies that are part of the same story.
| |
| − | :: '''Examples include:''' The Matrix trilogy, Star Wars anthology (part of it anyway), Alien anthology (close enough connection to be included), Star Trek anthology (parts of it)
| |
| − | :: Again, this event would need to be planned so that it would start earlier in the day and end late at night.
| |
| − | : 4. Yet another idea would be to watch a special selected TV series such as "Firefly". A series of special events could let us watch the entire series.
| |
| − | :: If any series was worth watching like this and then discussing, it's "Firefly".
| |
| − | :: Yes, it's stated that TV shows won't be shown during this event, it also states that Lloyd can override this. Guess who's coming up with these ideas.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==The Fine Print (Disclaimer)==
| |
| − | * All movies being shown are for '''educational''' purposes as these events also include a discussion.
| |
| − | * Anyone objecting to the content of the movies are welcome to leave the event. (If you don't like the movie, don't watch it.)
| |
| − | * In <u>no way</u> will this event ever be for sharing movies.
| |
| − | * For all events, the movie being shown will be coming only from Lloyd's laptop computer. (The only exception being if his laptop isn't functioning.)
| |
| − | * Movies that are unable to be shown from Lloyd's laptop will be played from a player that will be owned by Lloyd.
| |
| − | * All movies being shown are will be legally owned by Lloyd and will only come from his own DVD/Blu-ray collection.
| |
| − | * The contents of this page are subject to change frequently without notice.
| |
| − | * Last but not least, Lloyd reserves the right to override <u>anything</u> stated on this page.
