Thoughts?

Hey guys, Updated the blog with what I think is the new showing order but let me know if it's wrong! I've got work travel this Monday - Wednesday night and things might still be a little crazy Thursday. I think B&A will also still be out of town, and Ben will be in Miami for work... so what do you guys think about postponing movie night until after the holidays settle down? Maybe the week after Christmas? Let me know what you think!

Dancer, Texas - Pop. 81

This week, we'll be viewing Dancer, Texas - Pop. 81! I'm not going to give much away.  Let's just say that it's high school graduation weekend in Dancer, Texas and the population could soon plummet to 76.   It could be the first movie night selection that is rated PG.  I don't think there are any frosted tips in this movie, there's no sex with swimming reptiles, and you won't leave wondering how the director avoided getting arrested, but it's humorous and though provoking and it reminds me of the little place I lived most summers when I was growing up (Lenorah, Texas - Pop. 46).

When: 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Where: 1617 Fannin, Apt 2903
Who:  Trill Movie Night People
Why: Why not?

Pizza will be provided. Bring beer.

November 21, 2013 // The Holy Mountain // Bjorn

Hello all, this week I will be hosting at Springer's place and I will be showing Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain. It was made in 1973 and defies description. Each scene looks completely different from the scene that preceded it, and not unlike Santa Sangre, relies heavily on symbolism and shock value.
Join me at 7:30 at Casa de Springer for pizza, beer, and disturbing and sacreligious imagery!

November 14, 2013 // 12 Years A Slave // Rory

On Thursday, November 13, 2013 Rory showed the sobering "12 Years A Slave" based on the memoir by Solomon Northup

November 7th, 2013 // Paris is Burning // Ben

This Thursday, we'll be taking a look at one of the following three extremely specific subcultures; care to guess?

• Communist Bolivian hipsters from the 1920s 
• Gay minority drag queens from New York City in the 1980s
• Expatriate Phillipino drug runners in Canada in the 1800s

If you guessed gay minority drag queens from New York City in the 1980s you win our prize! which is pizza! which is the same as our consolation prize!

So please join me this Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at House Garry for pizza, beer, and learning the origins of "working it"

Push

Hey everyone!  My understanding is that it's my turn to pick the movie, but to be honest I don't have any great ideas and I do have a pretty jammed up schedule this week.  Therefore, my inclination is to push the return of Movie Night to next Thursday (the 7th).  Unless I hear howls of dissatisfaction, I'll assume that's the plan and proceed accordingly.

September 26, 2013 // The Lives of Others // Caroline

Trillsters,

Please join me this Thursday for a viewing of The Lives of Others, a 2006-2007ish German film from writer-director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. It's a bit dark and was underrated at the time, in my opinion. Some of you may have seen it, but I checked with others last time and I think at least 1/2 of the group hasn't. General lay of the land: it's set in East Berlin in the 1980s when government surveillance/Stasi were in every shadow -- and it specifically follows the lives of a few key characters who fall under investigation.

I don't think it's on Netflix Instant, but I'll figure out the logistics with Ben!

Thursday, House Garry, 7pm. We'll have pizza -- please bring beverages. Let me know if this works for you (and if like a million of you have already seen it!).
