Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Wait, and I thought this is a book club?

We don't always have our noses buried in books (right?). And I know that a lot of us here are also avid movie watchers, TV show followers and gamers. So here's a folder for all the other things we subscribe to that aren't related to reading. This includes (but not limited to):

* Movies based from books
* TV shows based from books
* Games based from books

Or just, you know, movies, TV shows and games in general. Even if they're not from books.

Again, some guidelines to get us started:
* Mutual respect, please! Please respect each other's opinion. It's okay if other people do not like what you like.
* Careful with spoilers. Spoiler tags are available in Goodreads for a reason!
* No pornography or nudity. R movies may be discussed, but please remember that we have people who cannot get into R movies as members, so be mindful of what you post.
* Trolling will only be tolerated at a certain extent. If any member's comment make you feel uncomfortable, please send a PM to any of the mods so we can deal with it privately.
* As always, have fun. :)

P.S. YES, we can rave/discuss the movies/tv shows or play the games we like as a group! If you're looking for people to watch a movie/play a game/marathon a TV shows with, post it in the HOHOL thread!

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Hi Questian, Beatrice and Kayla! Sorry, just a little bit OC -- I started a different thread with the book to movie adaptation question here. :D Let's reserve this thread as an intro to the folder na lang, if it's okay? And feel free to create topics if you have some movie/tv shows/game related thing you want to discuss. :)

Thank you! :)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Aaron preempted his death by watching a lot of his films this week. But yes, it's sad. Magnolia is remarkable, too. And The Master, even though I hate that film.


message 10: by Monique (new)

Monique (attymonique) | 2130 comments Grieving, as well. (And it's not because it would be difficult to replace him as Plutarch in The Hunger Games.) A great, great character actor has just died. :(

LailaBC | 13 comments WHAT???? I'm sorry but I only first heard of this news here. The Capote is gone??!! *heads over to google* Such a brilliant actor...but like other brilliant actors who succumbed to being OD what a tragic passing :(


message 12: by Chastine (new)

Chastine | 5 comments Excuse me if I'll say that I din't really know him from any other movie other than the Catching Fire but - DAMN! - it is such a great loss and I honestly really liked him playing Plutarch's role (although, I think I liked everybody else on that movie so *shrugs*).


message 13: by Ranee (new)

Ranee | 1902 comments such a sad loss, sadder though is that he does drugs and died of it


message 14: by Louize (new)

Louize (thepagewalker) | 1831 comments What's happening? Whenever an actor die these days, it was either drugs or some freak accident. No one is dying of old age anymore. Such waste of talents!
