| − | :THIS IS AN <u>EDUCATIONAL</u> MOVIE EVENT.
| |
| − | :This event was originally conceived to have educational component in the form of discussions after a movie.
| |
| − | :All movies selected for this event are to be fictional so that the discussions are fun in an effort to have interesting discussions about alternate realities, fictional places, plots, situations and time frames.
| |
| − | :Considering the types of members FamiLAB usually has (typically intelligent), it was considered to be fun to have such an event and to get feedback (in the form of discussions) about the movies.

| |
| − | :EVENT RULES:
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :1. MOST IMPORTANT: <u>After the movie, there will be a discussion or this event will be cancelled for the foreseeable future. This is a "discussion" event, it says so in the event name.</u>
| |
| − | :: We are subject to U.S. copyright law (Title 17, United States Code, Section 110) when this event is showing a movie.
| |
| − | :: We fall under "fair use" when we show a movie under the conditions that this event is conducted under.
| |
| − | :: "Fair use" only includes showing under specific conditions, those include commentary, criticism, education or research, otherwise it's a copyright violation and we will get seriously fined.
| |
| − | :: Currently, our event does include commentary, definitely criticism, plenty of educational components and I do a lot of research on the movie in order to create the questions we use as part of the post movie discussion and me answering some questions about the movie. So, our role is definitely in the fair use category. I feel our discussion is very beneficial to everyone who attends, and it's been a lot of fun so far.
| |
| − | :: If our events aren't educational then it's considered a "public viewing" and serious copyright violations are occurring.
| |
| − | :: Nothing about this type of event or FamiLAB's status (non-profit) makes any difference about copyright law regarding this event.
| |
| − | :: The discussions of this event are recorded/logged and then reviewed by an outside third party in order to keep this event educational and "fair use".
| |
| − | :: There is to be no debate on how the events are logged or should be logged.
| |
| − | :: Lloyd has already created the method of logging and takes care of this aspect and that aspect is not up for any discussion.
| |
| − | :: Lloyd already established a way to take care of the logging situation that currently satisfies the outside party who monitors the event logs.
| |
| − | :: Discussions must be carried out by the group, not just one person. All this means a discussion is mandatory for EVERY movie.
| |
| − | :: Lloyd records the discussion but he can't be the only person contributing to the discussion, basically the group has to participate.
| |
| − | :: Participants may remain anonymous but participation is required. If any person chooses not to participate on a regular basis, they will be asked not to attend.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :2. Arrive before the movie is scheduled to begin. Preferably arrive 30 mins before the movie (8:30PM or 20:30). The event usually starts at 9PM (21:00), provided there aren't technical problems. There is usually plenty of time to arrive and find a suitable seat for the duration of the movie.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :3. Do not make any major seating change of your classroom location during the movie. It's very distracting to the other guests.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :4. There is to be NO cell phone conversations within the classroom during the movie. Please leave the classroom if you need to talk on your phone.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :5. If you feel you need to use your laptop during the movie please sit in the back of the classroom so the light of your display doesn't distract others. If you're using your laptop you're obviously not watching the movie. So, do not distract those who ARE paying attention.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :6. Do not sit in front of Lloyd. That means anywhere between him and the front of the classroom. There is a reason why he sits in the front.
| |
| − | :This may seem like an extreme rule but there are reasons for it.
| |
| − | :This is so Lloyd can have a clear view of the screen so he may be able to pay attention to the movie and view anything the playing software or the projector needs to show him regarding the viewing of the movie.
| |
| − | :This rule is non-negotiable.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :7. Do not ask questions or talk during the presentation of the movie. There's time for that after the movie.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :8. Keep all of the classroom doors closed during the movie.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :9. Keep all of the classroom lights off during the movie. This includes the lights on the electronics bench.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :10. This event is for members of the lab. However, family members and friends are allowed provided they are with a member.
| |
| − | ::Most of the rules are non-negotiable but this is a flexible rule. Please at least be an adult literally and figuratively when attending this event.
| |
| − | ::Additionally, this rule may change considerably soon as it may be opened to outside visitors of the lab to save the event from being cancelled due to low attendance.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | ::These rules were unfortunately created because of experiences from past events.
| |
| − | ::If you can't respect these rules then don't attend this event.
| |
| − | ::If you don't understand the rules or the need for them, do not to attend any of the events.
| |
| − | ::Lloyd reserves the right to change these rules without notice. So, check these rules often for unexpected updates.
| |
| − | ::Lastly, don't preach about these rules being in place. Lloyd has been complained to about rules by people who don't even attend the event.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :Mandatory Movie Discussions:
| |
| − | :* If you attend, please be prepared to contribute to the discussion of the movie that is presented before the movie and after the movie.
| |
| − | :* Attendees who wish to not contribute to the discussion for single events are still welcome but are encouraged to change their mind as the discussion is one of the better aspects of our events.
| |
| − | :* The discussion section is NOT for discussing the "making of" the movie or the actors in the movie but instead to discuss the plot, ethics, and other aspects of the story of the movie.
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | :Discussion Topics:
| |
| − | :* Please view our <u>[[Theater_Discussion_Night#Discussion|Discussion]]</u> section for discussion topic suggestions.
| |
| − | :* Additionally, suggested discussion topics are listed on the "Discussion" tab section of this wiki page under their individual movie listings.
| |
| − | :* Other discussion topics are welcome and encouraged as they can greatly expand the potential for enhanced and fun discussions.

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.

| − | == About "Theater Discussion Night" ==
| |
| − | This event started with a casual discussion between Dustin Cox and Lloyd Black. The discussion was simply about the possible interest in showing Sci-Fi movies from the 80's era. It seemed that there could be some interest in people wanting to watch movies from that time since many members favor Sci-Fi movies.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This discussion ended up being the reason why Lloyd went ahead and planned the events which became Theater Discussion Night (TDN). It has since become a quiet event but since it's beginning it's slowly gaining popularity. It does have some events that are very lightly attended but that's acceptable since a heavily attended event would make for a more difficult discussion at the end.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The discussion at the end of each event is necessary as it keeps the event "fair use". The discussion keeps the event within the legal range as it makes it an educational event. Also, the discussion adds a fun aspect of the event since it allows the attendees to learn more about the movie, it also makes the event more fun to attend. Fair use is the loosely the use for the movie for criticism, commentary, education and research of a given movie. TDN actually does cover most if not all of these points. We often do criticism, some commentary, definitely education and there's a fair amount of research done by Lloyd and the other attendees when the movie is being considered and at the end during the discussion phase.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Overall, its usually an interesting event that's enjoyed as a fun event and thought provoking. Many times the discussion brings up the idea of what life would be like if we lived in the fictional environment depicted in the movie.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We typically don't discuss the 'making of' aspect of the movie as that's not what the discussion is about. It's focused on the aspect of what is going on within the false reality of the movie.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Lloyd's interest in TDN is partially from his interest in the many aspects of movies from the script writing aspect, special effects and many other aspects of movie making. However, it's also from the fictional aspect of the false realities within the movies. Lloyd went to college for 'Film and Video Production'. Lloyd also collects many movies but doesn't have the collection he wishes he had but that's just because of space restrictions of where he lives. Lloyd has always wanted to have his own theater to show movies within his interest. TDN partially grants his wishes with running the event even if the attendance is fairly low compared to an actual theater. Being able to share this passion of movies with other members within FamiLAB is greatly rewarding though.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | FamiLAB is a unique place that allows members to take part in many things. One of those things is to share interests and passions with other people with similar interests. That is how TDN is able to exist and also helps other people learn about movies even if we don't make movies but we're able to share our interests in them another way.
