December 23, 2014 // The Good, the Bad, the Weird // Ben

A pleasant December to all Trillsters (I find 'happy holidays' too sectarian for my tastes). Next Tuesday, please join me at House Garry for The Good, the Bad, the Weird, a 2008 South Korean western film.  I'm doing this 'Rory Style' having never seen it before, but I am led to believe that it is right up my alley being a combination of weird Asian stuff and gunfights (apologies in advance to Bjorn).

Key Takeaways

• 12/23
• 7:30
• House Garry
• Pizza
• Dawsons
• Potential Special Guest Lindsey Knott!

December 9, 2014 // Lone Star // Springer

December 9, 2014

Springer's House


A little whodunit, a little forbidden romance, a little history, a great soundtrack, a little slice of life along the Texas/Mexico border - Lone Star.

And maybe some DC.

Bring beer and an appetite for pizza.

PS - RC, your friend that is in town is welcome to join us.

Trillsters,

Looking forward to this week! A quick poll. Have any of you seen the following? I feel like there may be a few (though hopefully not all) that some have seen. Any vote on which to watch?

1. Fish Tank (aw it a few years ago and liked it)
2. A Serious Man (I haven't seen it, but want to...)
3. Incendies (I haven't seen it, but want to...)
4. Vera Drake (I haven't seen it, but want to...)

A bit about each:

Fish Tank is a dark British coming-of-age story from 2009. A Serious Man (as you probably already know) is a dark, 2009 Coen Brothers comedy that I regret to say I've never watched. It's about faith/the questioning of faith. Incendies is a Canadian mystery/drama adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's play (of the same name) – it's about uncovering the mystery and details of the main characters' (who are twins) mother's life. Vera Drake is a British drama about the story of a working-class woman in London in 1950 who performs illegal abortions.

Let me know what sounds good to you, if any. I have a lot more on the list if none of these make the cut.

Otherwise, details as follows:Thursday, December 4

7:30pm at House Garry

Pizza will be served; bring booze
