Screening	Date	Selection	Nominees	Comments
125	Jun 14 2025	Johnny Mnemonic	⭐️ Johnny Mnemonic Chain Reaction Street Kings The Lake House The Day The Earth Stood Still The Watcher Knock Knock Even Cowgirls Get The Blues Keanu Between Two Ferns: The Movie	We're back on, cinéastes, and this week's theme is Keanu! Nominate the stupidest Keanu movie you can find! (Cue endless squabbling over whether the John Wick movies are: (A) impeccably choreographed tributes to the Golden Age of Hong Kong-style gun-fu, harmoniously emulsifying the effortless style of classic film noir with the rich traditions of wǔxiá storytelling; or (B) stupid.)
124	May 17 2025	North	⭐️ North Nordvest (Northwest) High School High Southern Comfort The East Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood	As any amateur geographer can tell you, standard compass points include four cardinal directions, four ordinal directions, and Jon Lovitz
123	May 03 2025	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale	Crank The Mechanic Hobbs & Shaw ⭐️ In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale The Beekeeper	Oi! Arseholes! It's Jason Statham Week! Don't bollocks it up, yeah?
122	Apr 05 2025	Red Planet	It's Pat Chairman of the Board Ashes and Diamonds Troll 2 Alexander Troy Hercules in New York Norbit ⭐️ Red Planet Sorority Boys	(Cue theme song from The Wonder Years) Join The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.), won't you, on a trip back through time to those halcyon springtime days of 2020! Families sheltering in place donned their finest petticoats and codpieces to dance the Lindy Hop in their drawing rooms while watching the series finale of MAS*H! Energy prices had hit an all-time high following the Ionian assault on the warp core mining facility on Zorgblax-5! And a ragtag band of guitar-strumming computer nerds in a Seattle-area garage, armed only with the glints in their eyes and their shared love of stupid movies, were about to start the most consequential film appreciation club in the history of the universe. Who can believe it's been five (5) years since then? Not Mrs. Brain Trust, that's for sure. By way of celebration of this momentous anniversary, this week all Cinéastes in Good Standing are invited to submit their favorite past FFS nominees that have never won. Only past FFS also-ran nominees will move on to the voting: no past winners, and nothing new. And where might said Cinéastes in Good Standing peruse such past FFS also-ran nominees? Why, on the FFS Website! Go to the blue "Movies Database" section, then use the filter for "Nominated But Never Won". As usual, all nominations must be received by midnight Eastern tomorrow (Tuesday, April 1).
121	Mar 22 2025	Angels & Demons	⭐️ Angels & Demons The Devil's Advocate Spectre Laws of Man The Order The Pope's Exorcist Benedetta Bless the Child Last Days in the Desert	Friends! and Others! The Trivedis are galavanting south of the border, but if you cut off one head of course another grows in its place and we all nonetheless stagger forward, together, lurching, undaunted. This week, in sober recognition of the liturgical season of lent, we choose to subject ourselves to the cinematic equivalent of wandering in the desert for 40 days without food while being harried by the devil. In other words, we must choose a stupid movie crammed with Catholic nonsense.
120	Mar 08 2025	54	It's Pat The Number 23 Chapter 27 65 The 6th Day Fifty Shades of Grey ⭐️ 54 10,000 BC 27 Dresses	Movies with numbers in the title seems to be the theme!
119	Feb 22 2025	Dreamscape	Martians Go Home Bloodhounds of Broadway Gang Related Moving P.U.N.K.S. ⭐️ Dreamscape American Dreamz Back by Midnight Innerspace Dragonheart Movie 43	Hello Filmians! With Hollywood foisting a new extraction of Quaid upon an indifferently shrugging general public, The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) deems it imperative that we cinéastes timely commemorate the dubious achievements of that progenitor strain of Quaid now passing into history! To that end, all nominees this week must feature either or both of: (i) Dennis Quaid, beleaguered paragon of the rapidly shrinking American upper-middle class; and (ii) Randy Quaid, unkempt avatar of the ever-burgeoning American lower-middle class!*** Dennis Quaid be all like: "The business side of baseball ... (grumble, sigh) ... full-bird colonel ... (grumble, sigh) ... just have a normal Christmas ... (grumble, sigh) ... property management fees!" But Randy Quaid be all like: "Corn-dog contest! ... (cackle, snort) ... sawed-off shotgun! ... (cackle, snort) ... done towed m' tow truck! ... (cackle, snort) ... pawn shop liquor store bail bondsman!"
118	Feb 08 2025	Doctor Detroit	It's Pat ⭐️ Doctor Detroit Joker: Folie à Deux Madame Web Ghost Dad Willy's Wonderland Wedlock Rubber Napoleon (Phoenix) Napoleon (Puppy) Prophecy The Garbage Pail Kids Movie Problem Child 2	Doctor Detroit won the vote and proved to be one of the most difficult movies to source for our screening. John and Paul came to the rescue with their Plex servers.
117	Jan 25 2025	The Prophecy 3: The Ascent	End of Days The Prophecy The Prophecy II ⭐️ The Prophecy 3: The Ascent The Devil's Advocate Stigmata The Omega Code The Devil's Child The Minion Fallen Shadow Builder Apocalypse II: Revelation The Ninth Gate Lost Souls Bless the Child The Calling	Dateline: The USA at the turn of the millennium! A frenzied, frothing movie-going populace anticipates the imminent arrival of Beelzebub with a faintly embarrassing mixture of trepidation and arousal, and the titans of Tinseltown are all too happy to oblige! This week, The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) invites all FFS members to vote in a single-elimination tournament featuring 16 Satanocalyptic thrillers from the Y2K era (1995-2000)! Think longer and creepier episodes of Law & Order, but with hellfire-red promotional art and occasionally Gabriel Byrne playing Asmodeus incarnate!
116	Jan 11 2025	Gods of Egypt	The Ugly Truth Dracula 2000 The Phantom of the Opera ⭐️ Gods of Egypt Plane Coriolanus	We're back on, and welcome to Gerard Butler Week! All nominations for our next screening (to be held this Saturday Jan. 11 at 8:30 PM ET) must feature The Greatest Living Scot!
115	Dec 14 2024	Hot Frosty	Our Little Secret The Merry Gentlemen Four Christmases Batman Returns 12 Dates of Christmas ⭐️ Hot Frosty	Happy Holidays from the hippocampic and/or hypothalamic biomass that forms the putrescent core of The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.)! Suck on this!
114	Nov 16 2024	St. Elmo's Fire	Pinocchio Perfectly Normal Twisted Pair Nude on the Moon The Box ⭐️ St. Elmo's Fire It's Pat Cool and the Crazy	We're back! What say we watch a normal movie this weekend

WooOOooOOooOO Vennema: So we have an absolute deadlock on every metric between Ghost Dad and Jaws: The Revenge including the standard timebreaker. So I guess this one's going to the Supreme Court, ie. me. The winner is Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
112	Oct 05 2024	Wizards of the Lost Kingdom	Fire Down Below The Seventh Son Vigilante Force In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale Hu$tle He's Just Not That Into You ⭐️ Wizards of the Lost Kingdom

Get me the President! Please hold for the President. I serve at the pleasure of the President. It's the old Potomac two-step, Jack. Get off my plane! Raymond Prentiss Shaw. Back, and to the left. I'm sorry, Mr. President: I don't dance. (Smiling smugly.) A republic, if you can keep it. L'Etat, c'est moi. (Somewhat crazier.) Senatus Populusque Romanus! Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus! Publius Flavius Claudius Gaius Decius Marcus Tiberius! (Totally unhinged.) Panem et circenses! Sic semper tyrannis! Quisquam quaequam quidq--

104	Jun 01 2024	Captain Ron	Police Academy 3: Back in Training Madison Poseidon Moby Dick Wind The Poseidon Adventure ⭐️ Captain Ron	Those FFS members with fond memories of this club's unimprovable 02/27/2021 screening of Speed 2: Cruise Control will be gratified to discover that this week's theme is BOATS! The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) rudely demands your submission of (as-yet-unscreened) nominees that prominently feature BOATS! We snarling brains have cogitated upon Police Academy 3: Back in Training many a time and can assure you that it involves a surprising quantity of BOATS!
103	May 18 2024	Face/Off	⭐️ Face/Off Entourage Crash (Haggis) Gone with the Pope The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes Bambi II Jumper Wedlock It's Pat Crash (Cronenberg)	Despite some contingents of the FFS wishing to honor recently deceased Dabney Coleman with either Hot to Trot or 9 to 5, a fine list of 10 nominees including both the Haggis and Croenenberg Crashes resulted in the selection of the 1997 silly classic John Woo film Face/Off.
102	May 04 2024	Howard the Duck	Ghost Dad Dad Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (* But Were Afraid to Ask) Young Guns Money Talks The Lone Ranger ⭐️ Howard the Duck K-Pax Beethoven's 2nd My Father the Hero	FFS Presents: The Colloquium of Opprobrium! Cinéastes! Vexed as ever by the stifling confines of plebeian rectitude, the Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) plumbs ever-lewder depths of dissipation and asininity, now demanding that you produce your most uncouth nominees featuring actors and/or directors who have been arrested, prosecuted, sued, and/or credibly accused of aggravated felonies, sexual offenses, widely-censured hate speech, and/or other equivalent misconduct! (Please substantiate your nominations with links to reputable sources.)
101	Apr 20 2024	The Net	The Animal American Virgin Demolition Man Patch Adams Hitchcock ⭐️ The Net Surf Ninjas Capricorn One Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo	A Rob Schneider theme developed early, eventually mitigated by the inclusion of nominations such as Patch Adams and The Net, the latter of which won the week after a near-usurpation of the voting process nearly gave us Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.
100	Apr 06 2024	Spice World	Bride Wars Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol Resident Evil: Extinction Airborne Master of Disguise Ladyhawke Zathura: A Space Adventure ⭐️ Spice World Troll 2 Surf Ninjas The Garbage Pail Kids Movie Tango & Cash Pterodactyl Woman From Beverly Hills Commando Monkeybone Captain Corelli's Mandolin It's Pat Red Planet Stop!

You will be shocked to learn that The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) has elected to commemorate this execrable occasion with a Polltab.com knockout tournament featuring thirty-two (32) of our most frequently nominated (and/or most indelibly tasteless) also-rans from rounds of yore: a tiresome and nauseating exercise henceforth to be known as The Fortnightly Film Society Proudly Presents: A Superfluous Cavalcade of Centesimal Fatuity!
99	Mar 23 2024	Irish Wish	⭐️ Irish Wish Under the Rainbow P.S. I Love You Five Nights at Freddy's 99 Problems Ancient Apocalypse It's Pat

96	Feb 10 2024	Mr. Baseball	Sudden Death ⭐️ Mr. Baseball The Comrades of Summer Ready to Rumble Necessary Roughness The Coldest Game Days of Thunder Airborne	Gimme a "Sea!" ("Sea!") Gimme an "Attle!" ("Attle!") What's that spell? ("Cattle!") It's bases loaded at the free throw line and the score is love under par -- looks like the wicket-keeper is skeet shooting this Kentucky Derby to penalty kicks in the end zone! That's right, cinéastes, it's SPORTS WEEK here at the FFS, which means we malodorously embalmed brains (all peerless athletes in our salad days) invite you all to find sports-themed movies dumber than [Mr. Baseball img]
95	Jan 27 2024	Now You See Me 2	⭐️ Now You See Me 2 Sorrows of Satan St. Elmo's Fire The Number 23 Stardust No Holds Barred	Vennema: This is a good list. Nathan: I agree with Vennema. This is a good list.

92	Dec 02 2023	Jack Frost	XXX: Return of Xander Cage Babylon A.D. The Pacifier The Iron Giant ⭐️ Jack Frost Saving Christmas	Despite a heavy Vin Diesel-themed round of nominations, the snowman with the same eyebrows as Michael Keaton, Jack Frost, won the vote!

85	Aug 26 2023	Road House	The Blind Side The Benchwarmers The 6th Man Rollerball Ghost Dad ⭐️ Road House	In light of shocking allegations that the adopted parents of Michael Oher may not have actually adopted him, rather siphoning off his NFL earnings through a conservatorship, the FFS Brains-That-Be, in their finite wisdom, decreed THE BLIND SIDE as the KICKOFF nomination for this week. Thus sounded the STARTING GUN on a 100m DASH to nominate a worthy sports-themed film for FFS consumption. If we can hit that BULLS-EYE, the rest of the DOMINOES will fall like a house of CARDS. CHECKMATE. Day of Votes: The inmates are running the asylum, and the Webmaster/deputy Tabulatorium has been given the keys to the FFS kingdom! He's drunk with power, and no one knows what he's going to do! May his reign be swift and terrible. And may he complete his bloodless coup d'etat in the fashion most befitting an incompetent new leader, by declaring things arbitrarily*. We're watching Road House.
84	Aug 12 2023	Gigli	The Ugly Truth All About Steve The Hottie & The Nottie Chasing Papi Three Ages Maid in Manhattan The Main Event My Boss's Daughter The Prince and Me ⭐️ Gigli Overboard	With little consideration and nary a hoo ballyed, the Brain Trust declared a theme week of Rom-Com nominations!

What if we were to use this week's FFS screening to host our own battle royale betwixt a dyad of dueling doyennes of the American cinema? What if we were to do it using the state-of-the-art Polltab.com bracket functionality that has served the FFS so well for lo these many years? What if the aforementioned dueling doyennes were Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio? We regret to inform you that we are doing precisely the thing that we have just described! Forsooth, you've not witnessed a gaggle so grand of Marys and Elizabeths and Stuarts having at each other with such vicious abandon since the late Tudor period! DETAILS: Where: https://www.polltab.com/bracket-poll/TqWnYC-x--Gc Why: There are no easy answers to this question.
82	Jul 15 2023	Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time	⭐️ Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Final Fantasy: The Sprits Within Resident Evil: Extinction Mortal Kombat: Annihilation Tekken 7 Full Story Mode The Wizard Wizards	Video games? Wizards? Not sure if there’s a theme or not this week…

78	May 20 2023	Highlander 2: The Quickening	The Postman Ghosts of Mars Battle: Los Angeles Excalibur Gigli Commando ⭐️ Highlander 2: The Quickening Collateral Damage Hercules in New York	Sujan - Man, this got real macho. Three Schwarzeneggers? We'll have to balance it out next time with that long-threatened Katherine Heigl theme week, or something. Notes - The FFS welcomed Neal Tillery into its ranks. Sal made a triumphant return to New York the previous weekend and discovered the FFS had continued for three years since his last active involvement. He decided he wanted to be subjected to the horror of FFS emails once more. The Brain Trust happily obliged.
77	May 06 2023	The Avengers	Cool World ⭐️ The Avengers The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen The 42nd Annual Antoinette Perry Awards Dungeons & Dragons Lost Souls	The chemistry between Uma and Ralph was terrible. However, the enthusiasm the FFS held for this delightfully ridiculous selection was quite high.

Let us away to the sinister catacombs of mine forebears with all alacrity! (Chandelier bursts into flames) Step lively, Fortunato! I must avail myself of your exquisite connoisseurship to test the mettle of a claret of dubious provenance! (Pipe organ begins to play by itself) But have care, Fortunato! One false step amidst the crumbling stones of these winding escaliers might dispatch a man to his very doom! (Cackles evilly, grandly drawing a curtain to reveal a subterranean laboratory stocked floor to ceiling with pulsating brains in glass jars) Fortunato, you credulous fool, you've fallen right into my trap! This is no wine cellar but rather THE FORTNIGHTLY FILM SOCIETY'S SHADOWY GOVERNING BRAIN TRUST™ (PAT. PEND)'S BRAINULOUS COMMEMORATION OF THE THIRD (3RD) ANNIVERSARY OF THE FORTNIGHTLY FILM SOCIETY! And what better way to celebrate, Fortunati, than by choosing a winner from some of the FFS's best-loved also-rans? This week's nominee lineup consists entirely of films that have received four (4) or more FFS nominations -- but have never won!
74	Mar 25 2023	Pompeii	Pan Ambulance ⭐️ Pompeii Daylight Gigli Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
73	Mar 11 2023	Money Train	Tuck Everlasting Diary of a Wimpy Kid ⭐️ Money Train Road House Dunston Checks In Commando Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd

71	Feb 11 2023	Strange Days	Monkeybone A Very Brady Sequel Robot Monster Mickey Blue Eyes ⭐️ Strange Days Corky Romano House Shark	Somehow, multiple Chris Kattan movies were nominated. Vennema: I feel like even more than usual this week is undifferentiated chaos.

67	Dec 03 2022	X-Men Origins: Wolverine	⭐️ X-Men Origins: Wolverine Swimfan Australia Cool As Ice Theodore Rex Turbo: a Power Rangers Movie The Queen's Corgi Loser	Voting ended in a tie, and deep in the by-laws of the FFS constitution, it was found that in such cases the Society must watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine!
66	Nov 19 2022	The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2	⭐️ The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Garfield's Thanksgiving Son in Law First Man into Space Tower Heist Jack and Jill Dutch	This week brings to you a slate of nominees that are mostly (cough cough Ben) in keeping with a Thanksgiving theme. Let's all contemplate what we're thankful for this year, and let's meditate on the challenges the Calvinist colonizers suffered during those first years in Plymouth while we watch perhaps, um... The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2? Vennema: I know I say this every week but, truly, even by our standards this is an especially cursed slate of nominees
65	Oct 22 2022	Leprechaun	Holy Matrimony Troll 2 ⭐️ Leprechaun Phantoms Lone Wolf McQuade Chairman of the Board The Seventh Seal The Purple Mask	Mostly Halloween-inspired selections with a nod to the recent passing of Angela Lansbury

63	Sep 24 2022	Valentine's Day	Flag Day The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day Love, Lights, Hanukkah! Joyeuses Paques (Happy Easter) Columbus Day Labor Day Ash Wednesday New Year's Day ⭐️ Valentine's Day Ghost Dad President's Day Father's Day	This week's FFS round celebrates the Beckley-Chayes' move to Babytown, USA. Per Emily Z., each nominee must name a specific holiday in its title. But no Christmas movies! There are simply far too many and they might hijack the exercise.
62	Sep 10 2022	Because I Said So	⭐️ Because I Said So Chasing Liberty License to Wed The Net
61	Aug 27 2022	Virtuosity	Movie 43 Blank Check House Party 3 Troy ⭐️ Virtuosity Max Keeble's Big Move Alexander Sorority Boys

(Turns on fog machine) Every two weeks, we sinister cinéastes convene to perform an esoteric film selection process whereby we nominate terrible movies before Tuesday at midnight Eastern, and then we send around ranked choice ballots to vote on the nominees before Saturday afternoon, and then whoever feels like it logs in to a Zoom on Saturday night to watch the winner! Information on past winners is available via the FFS website (https://ffs.fly.dev) that Nathan created for us in his much-vaunted capacity as Minister Plenipoteniary of Cinepictorial & Photodram--shit, I have to pick up my kid from summer camp

48	Feb 26 2022	Twins	Gods of Egypt Dracula 2000 Hercules in New York Timeline Geostorm The Bounty Hunter ⭐️ Twins Junior	Rejoice, cinéastes, for the Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) -- whilst seized by a paroxysm of iron-fisted beneficence -- has graced us with a whimsical theme for this round! All nominations (due in 23 hours and 36 minutes) must feature either this guy: [Schwarzenegger] Or this guy: [Gerard Butler] AFTER THE SCREENING MISSIVE: Hi everyone, We sinister brains hope that all are experiencing a pleasant Sunday; we are reaching out to the FFS membership at this time only to provide some guidance and clarity as to FFS policy and practices in light of last night's altogether delightful screening of Twins. To confirm, this is a club for the watching of bad movies. Artfully written, acted, directed, and/or produced films will not be tolerated, and any feelings of genuine appreciation and/or emotional satisfaction during any screening are highly inappropriate. Acceptable nominations are those that produce one or more of the following visceral reactions: Boredom Rage Anxiety Bewilderment Contempt Suicidal Ideation Existential Dread Thank you for your understanding and cooperation on this matter. Best, The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.)

43	Dec 04 2021	Super Mario Bros.	Double Dragon Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- The Cradle of Life Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li ⭐️ Super Mario Bros. Resident Evil: Extinction Werewolves Within	What can the The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) say about the death of Stephen Sondheim? Perhaps it shall suffice to acknowledge that the momentous passage of Broadway's peerless creative eminence is all the more deeply felt among the Fortnightly Film Society's membership (replete as it is with professionals and aficionados of the musical theater), and to suggest that we bereaved might process our turbulent emotions (and, in some small way, eulogize the great man) by means of an appropriate theme for this week's installment. And so, without further ado, you have just over 24 hours to nominate your (least) favorite... ... VIDEO GAME ADAPTATIONS! Remember: no Street Fighter and no BloodRayne, because we've already seen them. I can't remember if we've seen any other video game adaptations but, if so, then those are banned too.
42	Nov 20 2021	The Cannonball Run	Herbie: Fully Loaded 3000 Miles to Graceland Herbie Goes Bananas Spice World ⭐️ The Cannonball Run The Love Bug Bubba Ho-Tep Speed Racer Viva Las Vegas	A theme of racing cars and/or Elvis-related content emerged over the course of the nomination and voting process for this week. You might think Spice World does not fit this theme, and yet: Sujan: I learned while watching Netflix's great Formula One docuseries that Christian Horner, the boss of the Red Bull Racing Formula One team, is married to none other than Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. And that means that Spice World, against all odds, is on theme.

Pend.): (i) wishes Katharine a happy belated birthday; (ii) hopes that all FFS members had a pleasant Halloween; and (iii) has brained deeply within itself and has decreed mysteriously that this week's FFS installment shall bear the unwieldy yet characteristically preposterous high-concept theme of "franchise non-starters"! That means that you have 23 hours and 30 minutes to nominate a film that was intended to start a series, but that failed to do so! As a sinister federation of gelatinous intelligences, we are aware of (and comfortable with) any subjectivity and/or ambiguities that our theme may entail.

You can nominate any movie provided that it is an installment numbered anything from two to infinity (inclusive) -- although the movie's title need not contain any such explicit numeration -- of a series of films that has a total of anywhere from two to infinity (inclusive) installments! No, I do not believe that there was a simpler way to say that!

That special time of year when a young and obscenely pulsating brain's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of melding its own cognitive facilities with the computational functions of other tumescent cerebra via dangerous Rube Goldberg contraptions composed of plastic tubes filled with untested chemical compounds!" - Alfred, Lord Tennyson Cinéastes, it's Romantic Comedy Week here at the Fortnightly Film Society! In its galactic wisdom, The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) has decided to focus its terrifying omniscience upon this most beleaguered of filmic genres, and it hereby beseeches you to submit your nominations accordingly. But be forewarned! You must submit only proper romantic comedies, and the aforementioned Brain Trust shall have the unilateral right to disallow any nominees that it determines to be inappropriate given the spirit of the season (i.e., you can get cute and nominate Bride of Re-Animator, but we're going to watch an actual romantic comedy this weekend).

Verily my teeth rattle with rage when I consider this list we hath wrought. I did nearly offer a nominee but that each passing hour another MUCH MORE AWFUL option presented to my screen. As should we all be, I well up with gratitude on one hand—poisonous shame on the other... ... This vote may well be the most difficult choice — and the dumbest choice — I’ve ever had to make. I’m gonna need a few days to deliberate ... Brain Trust: Ye Gods! -- the much-ballyhooed robot takeover of human civilization is finally here! The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) has seized control of the Fortnightly Film Society and -- by way of a separate email chain -- has culled from our membership ranks all of those amongst us who have failed either to (i) issue some sort of written communication to the group in living memory or (ii) regularly pay the Fortnightly Film Society's monthly membership fee (plus state tax, if applicable). Because we are but a meek assemblage of simple country brains who can offer no redress in respect of this reprehensible act of android villainy, we have no choice but to bid such erstwhile members a fond and regretful adieu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViHENVBVbUg A Fond and Regretful Adieu! The Fortnightly Film Society
30	Jun 05 2021	Equilibrium	Surf Ninjas Gigli Spice World Wild Wild West ⭐️ Equilibrium	Dear cinéastes, Congratulations to all who avoided last night's screening of Ishtar! We are reaching out today with a long-awaited operational update: as of the end of this month, the Fortnightly Film Society finally will discontinue its remote participation functionality and will require that all members attend all screenings in person. It was never represented that the pandemic-related telecommuting option would remain available indefinitely, and the FFS leadership believes strongly that the forced sharing of physical space is foundational to our company culture. For its part, the Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) wholeheartedly welcomes this development, because it dearly has missed the playful banter that it used to share with The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) in the Fortnightly Film Society's Restroom That Is Reserved for Super-Computers and Giant Brains! Said Brain Trust is absolutely sure that each of you similarly yearns for the bonhomie and good cheer that may blossom only within a collegial, in-person film appreciation environment. Accordingly, we look forward to seeing everyone at the AMC Classic Fort Wayne 20 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at 8:00 AM on Saturday, June 5, 2021, for our first mandatory in-person breakfast* screening of one of the worst movies ever made! (No promises, but The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) tells me it might be Gigli!) Best, The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) *Breakfast will not be provided.

Next, believe it or not, this Saturday's installment will mark the first anniversary of the Fortnightly Film Society! Yes, it soon will have been one year since this oafish passel of vulgarians and philistines first convened to "watch" Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and, by way of celebration therefor, the Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) proudly announces that -- as with our wildly successful BRIDESMAIDS EDITION VOL. I and VOL. II -- the winning film for this weekend's screening shall be chosen not from new nominees but rather via a Polltab-hosted bracket-style tournament comprising notable FFS nominees of yore! But with a new twist! As was ideated by one Nathan Freeman (and as was overwhelmingly endorsed by a spot poll of the membership), this time around, all eight nominees selected for reconsideration were originally proposed by the FFS's resident iconoclast and raconteur, Ben Beckley!

By summoning the astonishing totality of its cinematographic powers, The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) has finally broken through the celluloid fabric of film space and film time and -- in so doing -- has brought into being that cosmic entity comprehensible to mortal understanding only as The Fortnightly Film Society's BRIDESMAIDS EDITION, VOL. II! Those FFS members who have duly girded their electoral loins may behold (and vote upon) the truly funky resulting lineup of nominees via the instructions (and Polltab.com link) provided directly below!

Or My Mom Will Shoot Showgirls ⭐️ Street Fighter Road House The Adventures of Baron Munchausen The Avengers	Cinéastes, brace thyselves for the revelation of the Fortnightly Film Society's February 2021 Shadowy Governing Brain Surprise! After a'whirrin' and a'clunkin' for many nights on end, The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) finally has unlocked the deepest and most esoteric arcana of Film Studies and has birthed into existence (through its sheer computational will) the first-ever Fortnightly Film Society BRIDESMAIDS EDITION, whereby winning films for our upcoming 02/13/2021 and 02/27/2021 screenings shall be chosen not from new nominees but rather from significant (i.e., popular and/or persistent) runners-up from FFS voting rounds of yore! What's more, for this very special FFS event, the voting process shall be conducted not via simple email replies but rather via a state-of-the-art integrated electoral system known as ...

21	Jan 30 2021	Merlin	Cool World Psycho IV: The Beginning Troll 2 ⭐️ Merlin Fever Clifford Speed 2: Cruise Control She-Devil	Steph: For the love of god. Can we at least watch sequential parts?! This is stupider than usual and that’s saying something
20	Jan 16 2021	Crossroads	⭐️ Crossroads Grizzly 2: Revenge Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Babylon A.D. Norbit	Vennema: Actually let me just take a quick minute to say that I believe Norbit has earned the distinct honor of being the least-voted movie I'm pretty sure ever? With only 1 respondent giving it other than last place (hat tip to Carmen) it easily supplants Sharknado and Ghost Dad as the most agressively down-voted selection in history. Bravo Nathan... bravo. Paul: Morning thought is that Crossroads was pretty bad and extremely dumb, but despite its horrible reputation it was not nearly as bad as the worst of the movies we’ve seen. Maybe not even in the top 3. John Carter and DC Cab were worse...maybe another one too that is even more forgettable.
19	Dec 19 2020	One Magic Christmas	Street Fighter Santa Claus: The Movie ⭐️ One Magic Christmas Popeye The Nutcracker in 3D Pinocchio Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li Holiday in Handcuffs Ashes and Diamonds Hannukah: The Movie	Hello to all! -- and heartfelt, deepest condolences to those who joined for last night's screening of Return to Oz. I'm sure we're all aware of the popular theory holding that the original Wizard of Oz story was intended as an allegory about the gold standard; one shudders to think what the movie we watched last night (which was based upon L. Frank Baum's dubious sequels) was trying to say about the Bull Moose Party. Anyway, the Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) is proud to announce that our next installment (scheduled for 12/19/2020) will be a special holiday edition! To that end, we hereby issue our non-binding recommendation that nominations for our next film be holiday-themed.

It is with earth-shattering grief and inconceivable regret that I inform you that today, November 3, 2020, shall mark the most cataclysmic political meltdown ever to darken the annals of our history! For today is the day that we must bear witness--with a great and terrible weeping and wailing--as humanity's very worst impulses deal a fatal blow to the already-beleaguered husk of our once-revered participatory democracy! Yes, today is the day that The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.), in thrall to the whims of an infuriated and unruly populist mob, abandons the Fortnightly Film Society's heretofore sacrosanct voting process and instead decrees a winner for this Saturday's screening by imperial fiat!

In a short-sighted move, members were asked to vote for only their top 3 choices, despite there being more than 3 nominees. Our Head Mathematician quickly realized that not ranking all nominees could lead to a thoroughly inconclusive result. Future ranked choice ballots would encourage ranking of all nominees to prevent future election gridlock.

Valerian fit the bill and kickstarted the Fortnightly Film Society.
