Group Rules:
- Please be respectful to all other members and organizers.
- If you sign up for an event and you're unable to attend, please be sure to change your RSVP status so someone else can go. Please note that for events that require the host to make a booking/reservation or that have large waitlists, cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance may be counted as no-shows. If you RSVP and no-show for 3 events, you may be temporarily banned from attending future events.
- Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or any other bigoted comments of this nature will not be tolerated.
- This is not a dating group. While we understand that members may form more intimate connections with each other, the primary goal of this group is to create friendships and foster a positive social atmosphere for everyone. Unwelcome advances toward other members will not be tolerated.
- Unless explicitly stated, events are strictly 18+. This group is intended for people in their 20's and 30's, and while there is some flexibility for your plus ones - most events will not be suitable for minors.
- Some events may be hosted at places that serve alcohol. While we don’t mind attendees having a drink or two, excessive alcohol consumption or rowdy behavior will not be tolerated - especially if said behavior poses a danger to oneself or others.
---
Breaking any of the stated rules may result in either a temporary or permanent ban.
Our main goal is to create an atmosphere where all members feel included and welcome. Any behavior that impedes this goal will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

- 🎬 Comedy Movie Night: Raising Arizona 👶Dave Barber Cinematheque, Winnipeg, MB
🎬Comedy Movie Night: Raising Arizona 😂
Get ready for a movie night full of laughs, chaos, and heart! 💥 Join us at the local theater for Raising Arizona — a wildly inventive comedy from the brilliant mind of Joel Coen.
---------------------
Movie Description
The story follows a childless couple—an ex-con (Nicolas Cage) and an ex-cop (Holly Hunter)—who make the questionable decision to kidnap one of a local family’s newborn quintuplets. What starts as a desperate plan quickly spirals into a chaotic and hilarious adventure filled with bizarre characters, madcap chases, and unexpected heart.
A standout early entry in the Coens’ filmography, Raising Arizona offers a refreshingly offbeat performance from Nicolas Cage and a tone that’s both outrageous and endearing. It’s a perfect blend of clever writing, eccentric visuals, and pure comic fun. 🤠
