Only on IMAX: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH at Lennox Phoenix!

Thu, Dec 3, 10:30 PM

From The Columbus Movie Group

4.7

Join as we get together to see the comedy-drama from director David Finch, writer Quentin Tarantino and star Brad Pitt: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH! The film picks up 2 years after Tarantino’s excellent ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD and follows the stuntman turned fixer. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH: This comedy drama is a standalone sequel and spin-off to Quentin Tarantino’s excellent 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In it, Brad Pitt returns to the role that won him an Oscar! The film is set in 1977 Los Angeles and follows former stuntman Cliff Booth, who has become a Hollywood "studio fixer.” It is directed by David Fincher, written by Quentin Tarantino and stars Brad Pitt, Timothy Olyphant, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller and Karren Karagulian. Netflix is releasing it to theaters for just a couple weeks on IMAX only so this will be an IMAX screening! EARLY BUZZ: Quentin Tarantino appeared for a surprise visit to AFI Fest where he introduced the film and showed the first 17-minutes which was met with a wild, enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response. The appeal of Tarantino’s dialogue and David Fincher’s direction pairs well for what one reviewer said promises to be “one hell of a good time!” Can't wait! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN2LSM6gCGI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN2LSM6gCGI) PLAN: Details have already been confirmed for this event and tickets are on sale now! Please purchase your ticket for the 5:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area at 5:30pm! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments below! Should be a good one, Dan

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

Sun, Nov 29, 7:00 PM

From The Columbus Movie Group

4.7

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!

Sun, Nov 15, 7:15 PM

From The Columbus Movie Group

4.7

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

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health

Sat, Nov 28, 12:00 AM

From Take Control of Your Mental Health

4.7

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

Sat, Nov 21, 1:00 PM

From The Board Walks – Columbus

5.0

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
