Following on from last night's UNOPOBL moot, esteven suggested that at some stage we should "organize a screening of the movie at a small cinema so some of us can see the movie on the big screen for the first time." Perhaps we could make it an annual (or bi-annual, depending how skint everybody is) event of it, renting a different cinema, changing the ( Read more... )

Welcome to the second edition of UNOPOBL! XD

Remember to keep an eye on the countdown timer here.  We start at 3.00pm (UK time) sharp so keep that DVD at the ready.

Gillers, how's this for a countdown timer?  Same style as last time.

I was just watching M&C - or rather, looking for a certain scene to screencap, and I got bogged down (of course) and started watching random scenes.  And suddenly I noticed that as the camera is panning around during "Don't forget your old shipmates" song (specifically, during the "sponger I and loader you" part) the camera suddenly jerks like it's ( Read more... )

I would like to share some photos with you. :D

About a year and a half ago, one lady had the great fortune to acquire a set of slides from Master and Commander, many of which showed scenes never before seen. She has recently started to clean them up with the help of a friend and is posting them to a wonderful site at Denim Blues Click on Nautical ( Read more... )

After I had battled myself through over 2200 comments (YAY!WOW!The comments of the world!)I realized that I had been so caught up in the movie that I forgot a favourite squee of mine about the officers and crew of Surprise.

Jack spots Acheron after Stephen had been shot, then he turns and walks past his officers without a reply to Pulling's Shall ( Read more... )

I wonder if there's such a thing as a m&c macros community? I forgotten which comment it was (pre-page 8, I think :D), but someone was doing macros titles for a scene, and I was just "Yes! Master and Commander macros for the win as an idea!" and then I realised I'd started think in macros again and I got worried. And now, obviously, I need a cup of ( Read more... )

Bah to that. Have an icon from one of last night's threads.

Yoonopobble has done something wonderful. It brought many people together to squee over a wonderful movie and shared interests.

I cannot thank tootsiemuppet and grace_poppy enough for coming up with this splendid idea and for creating this community.

Huzzah, Huzzah, Huzzah

A glass of wine with you, ladies.

We must do it again
