Yeah, I definitely thought about that later, I didn't mean to say that your participation alone was the reason for whether or not the discussions were fruitful, the first one was great because it was a controversial movie that everyone had already espoused particular feelings for. So I apologize for making it seem as if any part of that was directly as a result to you.

It honestly just helps of people watch the film and, more so, have productive things to say, or questions to ask to garner more discussion, and when someone's name is attached directly to it, I think it's a reasonable expectation that they can help facilitate that.

And for sure about the help, just reach out. I never thought there was any need to previously, so I didn't directly offer, but I got no problem with that at all! If you ever just don't have enough time or just don't want to, just ask in a post or pm if someone else will host it, everyone participating is following the #movieclub tag, so they'll catch it.

I really do appreciate you setting this off, so don't read it as some angry tirade!

Okay, and all that aside, you need to watch the Coen brothers!!! We could literally have a round where we just choose from their canon. No Country For Old Men is one of the best adaptations ever made, O Brother Where Art Thou is fucking sublime, and I have seen The Big Lebowski damn near 200 times, seriously.

e: Also, scrimetime's article post was great, but it took a lot of the conversational wind out my sails, cause then I just felt redundant.
