That looks like a parody of Waiting for Godot

The title absolutely is a reference to the famous play. I haven't seen or read the play but I believe the similarity ends there (the title).

They are both absurd in their own ways, but they are very,very different ways.

It's valid. But don't add two movies in a row. The usual rule is that you have to wait at least for another person to add a movie before adding another one.

I’m sorry. 😕
How do I find out what the rules are?

reply

[–] kukuxu (5409) 5 years ago

It's simple.
-It's usually movies, though sometimes shows are allowed.
-You don't add two movies in a row.
-It's advisable to include the year between parentheses. That way it's easier to google it. Some people use these threads to discover movies they didn't know.
-The user that starts the thread uses to be the one that decides whether the movie is valid or not. I almost decided that 'Usual Suspects' wasn't valid, but since it's a difficult topic, I decided to give it a pass.
-The one that posts the 13th movie (the baker's dozen) is the one that starts a new thread (unless he gives up the turn).
