Watch a Netflix movie with me and chat (ADULT listener)

sociableSquare5593 October 11th, 2015

Hey!

So this might be a bit unconventional. But... I sometimes Just want someone to watch a movie with. We could both open up Netflix and start the same movie at the same time and chat in a chat about it. If that's ok with you and something you'd be open for?

I've a lot of other things going on and various people I do and don't talk to about it. But sometimes I just want someone to do something fun with like that. It doesn't need to be long ones and my taste is varied so I'm open to suggestions of which ones we should watch.

I guess my various circumstances have left me kind of alone (litteraly). So it's a simple thing but might be really nice for me.

Thanks

I'm not a listener but I gotta say this sounds like a good idea :)

I talk a lot during movies (it usually is about the movie) sometimes or ask a lot of questions so people don't wanna watch movies with me though.

@anitaa94

hah exactly! Obviously it must be someone who doesn't mind 'talking' during the movie ^^ heh

I recommend using rabb.it

One of you "takes the remote" and streams. You can disable video and microphone and just type while the movie goes in real time. You can stream through an URL, youtube, Hulu, or Netflix. I frequently use it to watch Scrubs with my friends abroad and also out of state. Enjoy your movie!

OH! Also a tip. It starts in low definition, 'LD". By the volume in the window, change it to HD and everything will run smoother.

This is a great idea! Too bad I'm going offline in a few :( If you're online tomorrow during the day, I'd love to do this if we can find a movie we both like!

You may be interested to know that we have frequent movie nights like this on 7 Cups! @sociableSquare5593

@wonderfulPumpkin71 who runs them would be a great person to be able to tell you more.

@QuickJazz thank you. I like the idea... I'm just not always great in groups like the group rooms. They kind of... scare me.

That's okay @sociableSquare5593 ! Group chatrooms are definitely not for everyone. Just making sure you know that's out there, for if you're ever interested!

I absolutely love films! I won't be available for some time, unfortunately. However, I would definitely be up for watching films with anyone in November+ smiley

@WickedGrim, @sunshineNrainbows also runs Movie Night events as well. Movie Nights are scheduled times where are people talk about a certain movie in Member Community Room while watching that certain movie via a streaming link. @sunshineNrainbows and I give out the free streaming link to all, and we usually tell people to press start/play at the same time, so everyone can be synced together. @sunshineNrainbows came up with the idea of having themed movie months, so this month we will be watching fantasy movies. Next month, we will be watching sci-fi months.

I'm not a listerner either but i'd like to watch a movie sometime incase you are still going with this idea !

Used to do this with some German friends but we tended to watch Horror's tho.

Anyways since you stated that you have been alone latetly i'd be glad to acompany you.

This is such an awesome idea!

I would definitely be up for this, but I don't have netflix.

I can totally see where you are coming from. Sometimes talking about something more fun can be even more helpful than talking through whatever issues you are having. I hope you have found someone who can do this with you!

Is there a way we can do this if we dont have netflix? I dont have it either...

aricat December 14th, 2015

anitaa94 December 14th, 2015

I don't have netflix either but I'd like to do this with someone

spicedclove December 18th, 2015

That sounds like a great idea, I'd love to be a part of this if it's still happening.
