WTI 2nd Film Viewing - Let Me In

Post by SpartanAltego » Fri Jun 01, 2018 7:54 pm

Hi, everyone. The fun and successs of last year’s LtROI viewing/discussion/podcast led me to the thought that perhaps we could do the same for Let Me In. I think it might prove interesting given the varied stances on this particular remake (whereas we all more or less share the same view of the first adaptation). Discuss the music, the scenes taken by themselves as well as compared to scenes in the book or Alfredson’s take. Favorite moments, weakest moments, anything that comes to mind!

What do you guys think? Is this something anyone would be interested in?

Absolutely!!!! Discussing the film in that format would be such a treat!!!

I'm actually listening to the LtROI discussion you all had right now. It is quite enjoyable. :P

I'm in too. The first one was great fun. No reason why a second one wouldn't be. :D

Wow, this is already far more interest than I’d dared hope for. Excellent. :D

I’ll have to consider a date for this meeting of the minds. As far as availability are there any factors I should consider such as time zones, work, and so forth? 8-)

Generally speaking I'm OK for any day.I think the east coast of Aust is 10 hours ahead of the east coast of USA.I've got a new puter in the mean time and Skype is a little crazy and for the life of me I can't remember how we did it last time.I'm sure I'll get the bugs out by the time we do it. :D

So, friends, I was thinking either the night of June 22nd or 23rd at around 9:00PM Eastern time! If this would conflict with anyone's availability, please let me know and I'll be sure to try and adjust. If you haven't yet please send me your Skype details so I can compile a group. Also, if anyone knows a good way of recording a call I'd appreciate either sending that info my way or someone volunteering to do it. Worked for the last one after all. 8-)
