Which of these are you familiar with? Meetup Themes! (1 Viewer)

[BarrieJ3]

Just looking for some feedback.

First round of WaBs was "Continental" literally because one day Jeepology said "that's a cool movie people like". I don't even necessarily really love the series, it just had some cool gifs and I was like yeah this works.

Each year at the end of the meetup several folks were like "what in the world is all this continental stuff?" How they got through the meetup thread and meetup itself without knowing what was going on befuddles me, but I think maybe some more mainstream things might hit people in the right way.

So if you would, please select all the options that you are at least casually familiar with. Like, you've heard of it, have a general idea of wtf is going on with it.

I'm concerned my specific topic may be dependent on age, so want to see if that's true before diving in head first.

You mother*******. Lol are you kidding me.

I swear it was you, like maybe from those cut cards or something. Somehow somewhere in passing you said "cool theme", and I was like f**k it, run it.

Man thank goodness you didn't mention enjoying watching Toy Story again with your kids or something, or we'd all be dressed up as Mr. Potato Head.

I should have read the directions before picking… for whatever reason I chose what themes would be easiest to do as I’ve seen all the listed films.

The digging up of the chips alone was all worth the theme

I mean... who doesn't want to be a pirate?

But also curious why "The Fuc*ing Catalina Wine Mixer" isn't on the list!

I like the Weekend @ Barrie's/John Wick Mash-Up

That'd be my vote

Woah, John Wick IS mainstream!

 

[Ben8257]

Would Lamp Shades make a good theme?

Whelp already the one I wanted to do is in farrrrrr last place

Guess I’ll spend some time debating on how much I care that people know what a mandrake is or why someone with an animagus name tag can change one card in the main event.

I guess LotR could be fun…..I’ll start thinking on that.

Crooked wand, check.

I've seen all of these movies in each series, so I voted for all the things.

Tough crowd bro... I thought I nailed it with Swagrid... but remeber

Batman?

I think Joker has so much more potential.

What is this no Marvel theme???

wtf John Wick isn't mainstream?

Calling it Weekend at Barrie's/Bernie's clashed with all the John Wick references. I think that's a source of the confusion.

Maybe mainstream is the wrong word, it’s not ubiquitous. Like 1/4 of attendees hadn’t seen any of it.

I only watch porn, do you want me to give you some themes from those?
