DOS Chapter of the Week (CHOW) Sign-up for February 2015!
|
Can't Post
|
|
Welcome back to Chapter of the Week! CHOW took a break over December, but we're back on course to start discussing the last half of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. For those that are new to the forum or unfamiliar with these threads, Chapter of the Week (CHOW) is an ongoing discussion on The Hobbit movies (just like SCOD in the LOTR Movie Board). This time around, we need five volunteers! The weeks and chapters that need leaders are as follows: 29. Weekend of January 30th - The Enemy Revealed ---- > Black Fox 01:44:08 - 01:47:34 30. Weekend of February 6th - Inside Information ----- > Hobbity Hobbit 01:47:34 - 01:56:46 31. Weekend of February 13th - The Black Arrow ---- > Kim 01:56:46 - 01:57:28 32. Weekend of February 20th - In the Dragon's Lair ---- > arithmancer 01:57:28 - 01:58:03 33. Weekend of February 27th - Under Arrest ---- > Starglass 01:58:03 - 01:59:42 We will request to sticky the thread once we have all spaces filled and have updated the list above. To avoid any confusion, the approximate start and end times are given. Each host will make one thread each week on their chosen film chapter (ideally during the weekend - anytime between Friday to Sunday inclusive). Please do not post a CHOW thread unless you have already signed up, or notified cats16 or DanielLB first. We will return to the extended edition of the film in the future. In the meantime, all chapter titles refer to the theatrical version only. Volunteers choose their chapter on a first-come-first-serve basis, so get in there quickly if you want to host a particular chapter. If you have already hosted a CHOW, you are more than welcome to volunteer again, but be sure to give everyone an opportunity to host first. Just respond to this thread with which chapter you would like to host. If you miss this sign-up, don't worry! There are plenty of chapters left. If in doubt which chapter is which, consult your DVD (hopefully you own it, or PM either cats16 or DanielLB.) Each person will be assigned a DVD chapter, seen above. For your chosen chapter, we will leave the discussion up to you! It really is an open book, so we don't want to restrict anyone. Some suggestions might be: - The use of CGI in the scene (or even HFR, if you can remember what it was like) - The score and the soundtrack - The props, sets and landscapes in the scene - The costumes we see in the film - The actors and acting - General scene setups - Differences from book - A comparison with animated film - A comparison with The Lord of the Rings films You can ask as little or as many questions as you like. Have fun, and enjoy! You can also choose screencaps for your part, and we recommend this website. Magpie has provided an excellent tutorial in image posting on TORn that can be found here. Please also make sure all screencaps stay within TORn's Term of Service (see 2.20). When posting your thread, please include "Chapter of the Week: [Insert Chapter Title Here]", so that they are easy to find on a rather fast moving board. We hope you enjoy all the discussions. cats16 & DanielLB

I loved these before! Glad I didn't completely miss out on them when I sort of disappeared from the site for awhile. Anyway, could I have Feb. 27th "Under Arrest?" It's my birthday and I wants it! Seriously, it is my birthday weekend, though, so it would be a nice gift to share with everybody here.

I'm sure you will find a way to create a discussion though. Thanks Kim. I'll get the mods to update the thread.

Are we going to get last week's chapter? It appears to have been skipped, but if it's going to be put up soon, I'd like to respond to that before this week's chapter, which Starglass has already posted. Thx.

Hi everyone, Due to RL business, I think it's best if we take the next couple of weeks off from CHOW threads. Around the beginning of next month, we'll send out a new sign-up thread and get this party rolling once again. Thanks, and I look forward to jumping back into the discussions with you all! Cats
