Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup - Tuesdays at VHS Social Club

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *VHS Social Club* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *VHS Social Club* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Thanksgiving Weekend: I PLAY ROCKY at the Drexel Theatre + Rusty Bucket!

Join us for a Thanksgiving Weekend event as we kick off the holiday season with the crowd-pleasing biographical drama, I PLAY ROCKY! The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and follows the legendary true story about the development and production of the 1976 Best Picture winning film Rocky! Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film tells the legendary true story of Sylvester Stallone, then a failing actor, as he writes the ultimate underdog story but must fight for his chance to play the role of a lifetime - Rocky Balboa. The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and stars Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone, alongside AnnaSophia Robb, Toby Kebbell, P. J. Byrne, Jay Duplass, Tracy Letts and Matt Dillon. TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_g_Ut0jO-0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_g_Ut0jO-0) BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered at this year’s Toronto Film Festival where critics call it, “a cleverly crafted crowd-pleaser” that “captures that hopeful positivity and ingenuity that made Rocky the iconic movie it is.” Others call it a “witty, funny and breezy biopic” that’s “enormously entertaining” and filled with “infectious energy” and “emotional warmth!” PLAN: We’ll plan for a pre-show bite at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Arrive at 2pm and we’ll have a section reserved for the group! For the movie, we’ll plan for a 4pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but let them know you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts! Exact showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer! Should be a fun Thanksgiving Weekend event and a great way to kick off the holiday season! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Oscar Watch: LA BOLA NEGRA at the Gateway Film Center!

Join us for an Oscar Watch event as we get together to see this year’s winner of the Toronto Film Festival, LA BOLA NEGRA! This Spanish-language war-drama-romance tells the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras -- 1932, 1937, and 2017. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film tells the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras -- 1932, 1937, and 2017.The film is directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi and stars Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBVxKt0gKDY BUZZ & ACCLAIM: LA BOLA NEGRA has already had quite a run through the festival circuit and promises to be something special! Javier Ambrossi won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival and the film itself won the Audience Awards at the Toronto, Sydney and San Sebastian International Film Festivals! It is earning an excellent 88% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says: “An intergenerational epic bathed in striking imagery and vibrant music, La Bola Negra is a sensorial feast that movingly testifies to the perseverance of queer identity throughout history.” Others call it a "grandiose historical epic" and “one of those rare films that feels both old and new.” La Bola Negra is expected to be a heavy awards contender and a likely Best Picture / Best International Film nominee! A NOT-SO-DREADED NETFLIX RELEASE: Netflix is usually my arch-nemesis this time of year, often buying up some of the year’s best films, and giving them a very limited one-or-two week theatrical release before sending them to the streaming service. But, this time, Netflix is giving LA BOLA NEGRA their first-ever full theatrical release in theaters! So, we’ll support the effort and as an added bonus, see what should be a really great film the way it was mean to be seen – in theaters! PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 2:10 and 2:20pm! Advance ticket purchase via the GFC website is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments below! A longer film, so we’ll make this one a movie-only event. ' Should be a good one, Dan
