Category: Screenings

With Joel and James both still away you get to have me in charge again this week, last week went well so all should be fine 🙂

We will be showing “Demons“, starting as usual at 5pm with a Pizza run around 7.

Demons is a fantasy series that follows the path of teenagers who have discovered they are the descendants of vampires. Other demon types are also in the show such as harpies and hybrids. It is a 6 episode series and may be hard to fit into one screening but we will do our best :).

Anyway, we’re in the Red Centre theatre G001 for the rest of session. It’s at the Western end of the Red Centre building (the end closest to Anzac Parade) – we’ll hang the SpockSoc banner on the wall where it can be seen from the main runway. Bring warm clothing – the air conditioning in that room consists of the air from outside coming in through the vents on one wall, and going out the vents on the other.

See you there,

Caroline Plank.

With Joel and James both away this week we are going to rearrange the Schedule a bit, and you will all get to see how I handle responsibility :-).

We will be showing “The Lost Room”, starting as usual at 5pm with a Pizza run around 7.

The Lost Room is a Sci Fi mini series from the SyFy Channel, with many actors from other similar series (recognisable faces: Peter Krause, Ellie Fanning, Chris Bauer, Alice Grace and Dennis Christopher). The series follows a detective who is investigating the strange things that occur, it doesn’t take long to realise these strange happenings are initiating with the use of objects that have all come from the same place. A hotel room that doesn’t exist, well at least not in the usual way. The show is just three episodes (but each about 1.5hrs) so we will just be able to fit it into one screening. I personally really like this series so I highly recommend you all come and check it out!

I hope you enjoyed your holidays, did well in your courses last session, and weren’t crippled too much by the NTEU. It’s back to uni for session two (already!) and we’ve got events every week like always. I’ve still not quite hammered out a full schedule, but I’ll have it done soon. Honest.

In any case, our first screening this session is Mystery Univrse, the last third of season one. We don’t have a room set for this one yet, thanks to all the administrative hoops that the uni makes us jump through, but rest assured it’ll be on this Friday starting from 5pm. Somewhere. I’ll let you know exactly where later in the week. Entry free for members as always, pizza run at 7-ish (as always).

And next Friday, we’ll be having our sort-of-annual trivia night! Yay! We’re holding in place of a screening this year in the hopes that more people will be able to make it. Come along and test your knowledge of Sci-Fi and Fantasy trivia against the rest of SpockSoc. It’s heaps of fun, and we’ve got heaps of prizes. It’ll be at 5pm next Friday (the 30th) upstairs in the Roundhouse – we’ll let you know the specific room next week. Entry is $5 for everyone, members and non-members alike – bring all of your friends. We’ll be having pizza for dinner like a normal screening.

Update:We have a room for this week’s Mystery Univrse screening: the Macauley theatre. It’s on level one in the Quad building, directly underneath the bell tower. For those still uncertain, I’ll hang our orange banner on the railing outside – if you stand on the Quad lawn and look around, you’ll be able to see it easily, and we’ll be directly behind it. Stairs are to the left and right (and in the lobby too, but that’s not immediately obvious) and there’s the lift way down near the chemist. The lawn, incidentally, is on level G. Level one is the floor above.

Remember, we start at 5pm, showing Mystery Univrse season one, episodes 14 to 20. Entry is free for members – membership is $5 for the year, or $2 for one screenings. We’ll be getting pizza for dinner at about 7pm – $5 per half pizza, plus a free can of soft drink.

Lastly, don’t forget the SpockSoc trivia night next week in the Roundhouse – exact room to be advised. Entry is $5 for all, so bring your friends. Lots of fun, lots of trivia, lots of prizes.

Update 2: A tentative Schedule for session 2 is up http://www.spocksoc.com/schedule/

Only two weeks of session left, aww. Anyway, based on suggestions and lack of enthusiasm in what we planned to show and what series we have left, I’ve decided on the screenings for this week and next week. This week, we’re showing the last four episodes of Warehouse 13 season one, and the last four episodes of Better Off Ted. Better Off Ted got cancelled last week, so these are the last four episodes ever (aww) but we’ll show the next season of Warehouse 13 next session. The screening starts at 5pm Friday in Rex Vowels as usual – pizza run at 7-ish.

Next week is the last week of session. We’ll be showing the last four episodes of Eureka season three, though I might show the fifth-last one for a bit of recap. Either way, we’re going to finish early that night, because the very next day, Saturday the 5th of June, we’ll be partnering up with the UNSW Anime society to marathon the whole of a Sci-Fi anime series. More details next week, but keep your diaries free, and come along to kick back and relax before Stuvac.

Getting on towards the last few weeks of session – boy do they go by so fast. This week’s screening is Mystery Screening Univ, starting from episode seven (because we reached episode six at our first screening in week one). I’m hoping as many people will still be able to come this week as there were in week one. =) In any case, it’s 5pm Friday in Rex Vowels, pizza run at 7-ish like usual.
