Autistic Movie Night!

Let's get together and watch a movie that actually celebrates the unique abilities of autists.

We watched The Accountant at the last event, so this time, we'll follow it up with The Accountant 2!

I'll make popcorn and fruit smoothies, and you're welcome to bring any other movie-watching snacks you'd like to share, and BYOB.

I have a couch and a loveseat, so 6 can comfortably watch a movie in my apartment. I also have a few counter-height bar stools, and a couple other chairs on the patio I can bring inside, so up to 10 can comfortably attend, but only about 6-8 would be able to have a good view of the movie - this is the reason I'm limiting the number of attendees. If you'd like to attend for socializing, but don't care about watching the movie, that limit can be flexible.

Parking at the battery is free for up to 2 hours, but we can pause the movie as needed to allow folks to go swap out their parking ticket to extend that time limit if necessary. Otherwise, it's usually ~$10/hour once you've exceeded that limit.

I live above the purple parking deck at The Battery, so that is the best place to park, and I'll post the code for the call-box in the event chat.

Movie Night Liability Waiver & Emotional Damage Disclosure

ATTENTION ALL MOVIE NIGHT ATTENDEES!

By stepping foot into this sacred cinematic sanctuary, you hereby relinquish any and all rights to sue, whine, complain, or seek reparations—legal, emotional, or spiritual—against the host(s) for any of the following:

1. Emotional Distress: If you leave this event questioning your life choices, your taste in movies, or the fragile nature of your existence—that’s on you. Not the host. Not the screen. Just you. We take no responsibility for unexpected existential crises.

2. Physical Harm: If you trip, fall, spill your drink, or get into a heated argument over whether “The Matrix” is better than “Inception”—tough luck. Also, if a sudden jump scare makes you spill your popcorn or accidentally slap your neighbor, consider it an immersive cinematic experience, not an injury.

3. Popcorn-Related Incidents: Any choking, inhalation, or rogue kernels launching themselves into your eye will be seen as divine punishment for taking the last good seat.

4. Questionable Movie Selections: If the film makes you uncomfortable, bored, or fills you with uncontrollable rage, please direct all complaints to the void, where they will be lovingly ignored.

5. Lack of Food Fairness: If someone eats all the best food before you get to it, tough. The early bird gets the sushi roll.

6. Spoiler-Induced Outrage: If someone spoils a movie, you may (at your own risk) give them an icy glare, but we do not endorse physical retaliation.

7. Uncontrollable Laughter & Side Effects: If you laugh so hard you snort, cry, or pee a little, that’s your cross to bear. The host assumes no responsibility for your inability to handle peak comedy.

By entering, you acknowledge that this is a fun-first, litigation-free environment. Any attempt to file a lawsuit will be met with prolonged sighing, sarcastic clapping, and an immediate ban from future movie nights.

Now, grab some food, silence your phone, and let’s get this show started.
