Movie: Thor

As discussed at tonight’s screening, we are planning on seeing Thor (3D) at the Ritz this coming public holiday Tuesday at 11:20am. As this is a 3D screening if you have 3D glasses please bring them as Ritz do charge an extra $1 to supply them. We also expect it to be fairly busy (public holiday, new movie & cheap Tuesday), so try to be early to ensure we can get tickets and decent seats.

For those few who are unaware of Thor, if you have seen Iron Man 2 and waited for the end credits you would have seen a teaser.
Following summary is from IMDB:
Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of superhero: THOR. This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth. Kenneth Branagh directs this fantasy epic which stars Australian actor Chris Hemsworth as the ancient Norse god, Tom Hiddleston as his evil brother Loki, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, a young woman who befriends Thor on Earth, and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Thor’s father and king of Asgard. Expect to see agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., previously seen in ”Iron Man,” to make an appearance, further forshadowing the coming of The Avengers!

Week 8: Chuck

I know this Friday is Good Friday, a Public Holiday and all, but we are having a screening (next week as well!) This week it’ll be Chuck we’re showing, an espionage show, that’s apparently pretty good I’ve heard, we’ll see.
We’ll be showing in the Red Centre Theatre at 5PM, the banner will go up, so you can find us easily. Dinner around 6:60 – 7,

Week 7: Warehouse 13

This Friday we’ll be showing Warehouse 13, the premise is fairly simple; there’s a government warehouse filled with all sorts of horrendous and wonderful artefacts and things, which needs to be guarded to make sure nothing is stole…and that nothing gets out.

It’s basically the final scene from The Raiders of the Lost Ark, turned into a TV series, good fun for the whole family!
We’ll be in the Red Centre Theatre again, starting from 5PM, with a pizza dinner around 6:30 or 7.

Week 6: Misfits

As you may have guessed from the subject line (what a wonderful invention) this week we’ll be showing Misfits; season 2 to be precise, but if you haven’t seen the first season (and you should have, it’s very good) the idea is fairly simple: Heroes, with ASBOs. Except it’s better than that, and I’m really quite looking forward to season 2. I hope you’ll come along, the Red Centre as usual, at 5PM, with a pizza run at about 6.

Week 5: Sanctuary

So this week we’ll be showing Sanctuary season three. The basic premise of the show is simple: there are things out there that aren’t human, it’s the Sanctuary’s job to guard these ‘cryptids’ from humanity, and guard humanity from the cryptids. When we last left our intrepid zoo-keepers, the world was about to end. Not much of a cliff-hanger there, oh no…
Just as a quick reminder, there’ll be Battle: Los Angeles group movie night tomorrow at the Hoyts in the Entertainment Quarter. The movie starts at 6:50PM, I’ll be hanging around before and after the screening, and we can head out to a dinner/drinks afterwords if anyone’s interested. I can give discounts up to 2 dollars to anyone who remembers to hand me their receipt at the end, so I’ll be standing right outside the entrance, not in the slightest bit creepy like…

Week 4: Haven

So this week we’ll be watching Haven, an American paranormal mystery show, which is (loosely) based on a Steven King short story. It certainly feels loosely based on a Steven King short story, which is by no means a bad thing. Quite fun to watch, we saw the pilot last season, and we’ll start with the that this Friday, before continuing on. We’ll be in the Red Centre Theatre all over again at 5, with pizza and drinks orders going out around 6:00 or 6:30.

Week 3: Mystery Unverse

It’s week three and this means it’s on to SG Unverse season 2. If you haven’t seen any Unverse before this, don’t worry, I hadn’t either and the story (humans on a spaceship must return to planet Earth) is fairly simple to get into but lots of fun along the way.
We’ll be starting at 5PM again, in the Red Centre theatre with the Spock-Soc banner hanging outside the door.

Week 2: Lost Girl

Thanks to all of you who made it to last weeks session, I hope you enjoyed yourselves, this week we’ll be showing Lost Girl, a supernatural crime drama that follows Bo, a succubus who finds herself fighting crime and trying to not get in trouble with the other fae who make up the magical underworld we normal humans don’t get to see. Sounds like fun? We saw the pilot last year and most of us thought so us well, which would be why we’re showing it again!
We’ll start once again at 5PM on Friday, in the Red Centre theatre, pizza run around 6:30-7:00PM dinner a bit later before finishing at 11PM,
see you there!

Week 1: No Ordinary Family

Thanks to all the new and returning members for signing up during O-Week, I’m hoping that you’re looking forward to our first session this Friday and I apologise for leaving this e-mail so late, it took a while to get confirmation of a room booking, but here we are.
This Friday we’ll be show No Ordinary Family a superhero-comedy-drama (according to Wikipedia) that has Michael Chiklis (the Thing from The Fantastic Four movies) in it. We’ll be starting at 5PM in the Red Centre Theatre, which is not exactly in the Red Centre itself, but just tucked away under the outside corridor at the end closest to Anzac Parade. This link has a PDF map you can open to see where the theatre is; it’s the yellow box at the end of the Red Centre (or Faculty of Built Environment) We’ll go on until 11PM, with a pizza run taking place at 7PM, it;ll be good to see as many people as can make it,
