Watching the 007 movies together?

I am deliberately posting it here because the event section usually is dead.
How about if some of us are watching a certain 007 movie ( less the Dalton ones...) simultaneously and we post our thoughts real-time in one thread?
I guess that most of us are staying home and have some free time in hands.
What daya all think?

And please people tell us your timezone (GMT +- X hours)
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Preferably if the viewing could be done during a weekend it would be better for me, as I'm WFH at the moment, but if everyone else prefers sometime in the week then I'll try to make it.
wikipedia has a handydandy map for sorting this all out
...except we just "sprung forward" for Daylight Saving Time, I think that adds +1, so I should actually be -4.
Is everybody else factoring in Daylight Savings Time as we synchronise our watches?
Starting at the beginning with Dr No is the best idea. Observe the evolution.
but I just watched the first five Connerys quite recently, so I probably wont have much new to say.

Having said that, Gymkata has a point about DN. I'll watch DN with you, but perhaps YOLT or DAF are more interesting?

Dr No - Overrated
Why Dr. No is the most perfect Bond movie possible, EVER.
There has in fact been debate about whether Dr No is inherently better because its closer to Fleming, or if its just a cheaply made prototype that doesn't really represent the series.
in fact, perhaps maybe it would be a good idea to look at past threads and suggest topics for discussion for each film?
Bigscreen is also a social app so you can get up to 10 people per virtual room and watch and chat together.
Of interest to AJB'ers is that Bigscreen has a dedicated, free James Bond channel which shows most of the Bond movies 7x24. Depending on your internet connection the picture quality is quite good as well.
Might be another avenue for the more tech-minded fans out there to explore.
Dr. No, please use Blurays if possible.
I‘d like to suggest 20:10 GMT by tomorrow Friday 3rd April.
Everybody get his player ready at 20:00 and click start.
The Zero is when the movie really starts ( after the MGM lion, and other logos), so pause your player there!
I don‘t want to start on a Saturday as some of you guys may have other olans for the weekend days (though you are supposed to stay at home)
I‘ll start one new thread here and make a notice in the events section - or does anyone have a better idea?
Would be great if a mod could make it sticky just for that day.

Hope, that we will have another one on Sunday, would that be ok for you?

Well it isn't too bad over here at the current scheduled time; a nice early 7am Bond start to the day! At least it doesn't mean a 3am start...look I love Bond but not that much.

We start the players at 20:00 but start the movie at 20:10

After that, we'll change from chronological for a simple reason:
The interest may drop after the 4th or 5th time and we'd then be still stuck with Connery.
I'd like to cover the Bond movies more broadly, so we will continue with Roger Moore (my proposal will be TSWLM or TMWTGG), then Brosnan and then OHMSS before we cover one Craig movie and then go to the really bad ones with Dalton.

maybe at the end of major acts ...
FRWL one obvious place would the start of the scene where they are about to get on the train.
another would be end of the scene with the billboard, because next scene is where Bond finds Tatiana in his bed.
maybe some volunteer could note a half dozen such points beforehand, and Higgins could announce them as he reaches them on his telly?
(and folks who are two minutes ahead could pause til the rest of us catch up!)
I notice in another thread a fellow agent said he started 20minutes late, so did not participate in the banter. If we'd been doing the timestamp thing more rigourously he could have skipped ahead to catch up.
