SO YOU THINK YOU'RE A MOVIE FANATIC!

Do your eyes sparkle whenever you hear the phrase Coming Soon To A Theatre Near You?

Do your friends think you're crazy for demanding to see the new flicks on OPENING WEEKEND?

Do you use the movie ads in Friday LA Times Calendar section as a guide to plan your weekend activities?

Do you get upset when that slow moving popcorn line makes you miss the trailers?

Can you tell folks just what the heck a Key Grip is?

Do you get into intense debates about the symbolism of Fight Club, the ending of No Country For Old Men or whether or not Johnny Depp should play The Riddler in the next Batman movie?

Do you scream at the TV in jubilation or disgust when the Oscar nominees & winners are announced?

Are you SICK AND TIRED of having 500 movies in your Netflix queue...but no one to watch or discuss them with?

=======================================================

Did you answer YES to any - or all - of those questions? Then you need to join us here at SOCAL MOVIE FANATICS!

Our Calendar is jumping with movie outings going on every week! You'll see some great flicks. You'll eat some good food (we always go out to eat before/after the movie). You'll make some great new friends! Sure beats sitting at home on Saturday night watching Netflix rentals BY YOURSELF! :o)

======================================================

Follow these easy steps to attending our events:

1. JOIN THIS GROUP!
2. Find the movie event that you wish to attend & RSVP 'Yes" for it.
3. Read the event throughly for Meeting time/Showtime information as well as the Event Host's contact info.
4. SHOW UP! Look for the the lovely lady/gentleman holding the sign with the SCMF logo at the theatre.
5. Join us after the movie for post-movie chat - usually involving some sort of dinner/dessert/coffee.
6. BRING YOUR FRIENDS to our next event!

So what are you waiting for? Cancel that Netflix subscription and join us as we prance around Los Angeles searching for the best that Hollywood has to offer! You'll never watch another movie alone again!
