Just wanted to introduce Lovely Living readers to our movie and television viewing fan clubs over at Lovely Living University. They’re free to join – all you do is show up and join in the conversation about the shows. (To prevent spoilers, don’t attend the chat until you are watching the episode or have already seen it!)
Classic Movie Club
Kym Crawford runs the Classic Movie Club here at Lovely Living University. Every Thursday, she posts a classic movie we can watch together online for free via our Lovely TV app. (She finds movies out of copyright or available via YouTube). We then chat in the chatroom about the movie, our lives, other vintage movies we enjoy, etcetera. Past movies she’s selected include “Pillow Talk” with Rock Hudson and Doris Day; and The Dark Corner (a lesser-known Lucille Ball suspense movie).
The Crown Viewing Club
“The Crown” is Netflix’s expensive series about the life of Queen Elizabeth. We’ll begin watching episodes on November 4, chatting about them in the Lovely Living University chatroom.
Gilmore Girls Viewing Club
Our Gilmore Girls Viewing Club members are excited about the upcoming “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” series that will air on Netflix starting November 25. It’s a “reboot” of the series, featuring four mini-movies, each set in a different season. The “Winter” episode will air on November 25. We’ll catch up with what Rory, Lorelai, and Mrs. Gilmore have been up to. Let’s not forget about Luke! Join us to chat about the show and swoon over a brief return to the lovely fictional town of Stars Hollow.
Versailles Viewing Club
On October 1st, our Versailles Viewing Club will meet to watch this series about the drama behind the construction of the palace of Versailles. It airs on the Ovation network beginning October first. We’ll join in our chatroom as we watch the show in our own homes and chat together online about the plot, actors, and fabulous costumes!
Victoria Viewing Club
In Spring 2017 we’ll watch another show about a queen. This one, Victoria, airs on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater in the old Downton Abbey time slot on Sunday nights.
Our viewing clubs are meant to be a fun diversion from the classes offered at Lovely Living University, and a great place to meet and chat with other fans of costume dramas and classic movies.
Hope you’ll stop by one of our chat events and say hello! Learn more about each show with the links and resources provided in each fan club.
