Let's Talk Movies (Outside)!
It’s spring time and we are going to celebrate by talking about movies in a park.
We will start with "Last Movie Seen", a roundtable discussion about a movie that you have recently seen. Come prepared to share a short description about the plot (no spoilers), how you saw it, and whether you recommend it or warn against it. It's a great way to develop a list of movies to check out.
For our second discussion, we are going back to the summer of 1982. Inspired by Chris Nashawaty's book, The Future Was Now: Madmen, Mavericks, and the epic sci-fi summer of 1982, we are going to discuss and rank 8 films from that summer. Those 8 films are Blade Runner, Conan the Barbarian, ET: the Extra-terrestrial, Poltergeist, The Road Warrior, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Thing and Tron. Come prepared with a ranking of your 4 favorites.
We are meeting at the Picnic Knoll. These are a set of 3 very long picnic tables that are just to the right of the playground found off the Broad Ripple Avenue parking lot. Many of us bring our own lawn chairs because picnic tables are hard.
If the Indianapolis weather does not cooperate that day, we will move the meetup to the shelter that is behind and to the left of the playground. Check this site for comments.
We look forward to talking movies with you.
