FIELD TRIP: HARD-BOILED! John Woo! (1992) (West-End @ 7:30PM)

This winter THREE John Woo Hong Kong movies are playing in cinemas. First up is HARD-BOILED (1992) with Chow Yun-Fat (Li Mu Bai in Crouching Tiger) and Tony Leung (not in Crouching Tiger). I don't think these movies need any introduction. A bit of the old ultra-violence never hurt anybody.

Let's go to West-End Cinema, I think it's the most central theater to the Twin Cities. (There are no theaters of course in the movie desert of downtown Minneapolis other than Main, and I don't know about you, but I'm just getting a little tired of having them look down their noses at us. So this group isn't the Nouvelle Vague. That's none of their business.)

Monday, January 26, @ 7:30PM. We always sit in the third row, but you can of course sit back in the nose-bleed section if you want to.

Last time we had a Field Trip I asked Meetup's AI to write the description. The following is not a joke. This is meetup's suggestion for a description for the movie *HAUSU*.

Dive into the quirky world of indie films with Minneapolis Film Society's screening of the classic film "Clue" from 1985. Join us for a fun movie night filled with mystery, laughter, and surprises. As we explore this cult classic, you'll have the opportunity to discuss its unique storytelling and independent filmmaking techniques with fellow film enthusiasts. Whether you're a fan of indie cinema or just looking for a relaxing night out, this event promises to be an exciting and engaging experience.

After the screening, stick around for a casual discussion about the film and its impact on the industry. With a mix of fun times, classic films, and movie discussions, this event is perfect for anyone who appreciates the creativity and artistry of independent cinema. Don't miss out on this chance to enjoy a night of entertainment and community with Minneapolis Film Society!
