I was as well but have become busier than I expected. 
Oh well, maybe next time.

Doomdragon, Shakey, and Patrthom were all interested but had to miss too. There's no reason you couldn't have another movie night with the same movie.
I don't have any definite requests yet, but once October rolls around I suggest that maybe we watch some horror films.

I vote Clue next thanks to this article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/something-terrible-has-happened-here-the-crazy-story-of-how
That sounds like fun. When should we watch it?
It's available on Netflix streaming, and can be rented on Amazon, youtube, itunes, and many others. Also available on DVD from Amazon starting at $5.86 (prime eligible).

Ok, here's the official announcement... thingy:
Shoutbox and vent. If you are going to try to attend, "brofist" this post so we have an idea of who's watching. Get your movie set up to run by the time shown above, simultaneous start will occur on shoutbox between 5-10 minutes after the above time so everyone is synchronized. @Piotyr will be in charge of this one, I can't guarantee I'll be there, but I'll try.

Ooh this would be an awesome one for me... Still not sure if I'll have internet though. Will brofist if I'm able...
Watch it at a friend's house. Ask them if you can use their computer during the movie. Surely they'll just go, "Well, this is Chad, so it's not that unusual..."
Or take a laptop with headphones to starbucks. At 10pm. Free wifi at mcdonalds? Too bad the libraries aren't open that late, unless you are at a university...

I happen to work at a university... But my laptop runs netflix very poorly. Lots of constant buffering. Anyway, shouldn't be an issue after all, as I just got a phone call from the internet guy, he's getting it up and running now!
I presume you mean September 5th.
I will endeavor to be there - I might be punch-drunk tired, but I will try to be there. I get off work at 0700, then go back in at 1030.
For folks with Android phones, there is an app called "Mangler" that runs as Ventrilo, with the same server info etc... I've used it for our Cards Against Humanity nights.

I'm ready and waiting on Vent!
I'm not sure if anything has been set yet. If I may offer a suggestion, what about Big Trouble in Little China?

No one is streaming it for free, but it can be rented from a multitude of places for $3. If you buy the blu-ray from Amazon it includes a free 24 hour rental coupon so you can stream it from Amazon upon purchase, and get the blu-ray when it ships later.
Is Thursday going to work for people, or shall we look at other days? I started Thursday as it was convenient for me, but we don't have to stick with it. On the other hand, having a consistent movie night might actually increase participation over time.[DOUBLEPOST=1378776007,1378775783][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, it's number #56 on this venerable list:

There are only 450 movies on there currently. Once per week and we could finish them in a decade!

I'm still good for Thursday. Maybe the usual time, 10 PM eastern/7 PM Pacific?
...So, are we good for this as this week's movie?
I don't know if anyone will be interested in joining me, but this Friday the 13th I'm going to get drunk and watch Jason movies, there's a few on Netflix.
If we are going with Big Trouble in Little China, I won't be able to organize it. I've been called out to join family to see a late screening of The Family tomorrow night.
I won't be able to make it, gotta work on my project.
