Dinner & a Movie: THE SOCIAL RECKONING at Cinemark Stoneridge + Chi Thai!

Join us as we get together to see THE SOCIAL RECKONING, a biographical-drama-legal-thriller and follow-up the 2010 film, The Social Network. The film stars Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Jeremy Strong and Mikey Madison as a young Facebook engineer who helped blow the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event. DESCRIPTION: A companion piece to The Social Network, the film tells the true story of how a young Facebook engineer enlisted the help of a Wall Street Journal reporter to go on a dangerous journey that blows the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets. The film is written-directed by Aaron Sorkin and stars newly minted Best Actress winner Mikey Madison, along with Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, Bill Burr and Jeremy Strong. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfHEZw7Xw_c MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 1:40pm showing and meet inside the lobby area between 1:15 and 1:30pm! Matinee ticket prices just $7.50 and will move fast so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. DINNER PLAN: CHI THAI! Immediately following the movie, we’ll take a short drive up Hamilton to make the Movie Group’s first visit to Chi Thai! Family run for 36 years, their menu offers something for everyone, blending Chinese and Thai cuisine and featuring familiar favorites like crispy Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, exceptional soups, perfect curries, or my favorite, Kung Pao Tofu! A foodie delight, their kitchen uses zero pre-packaged sauces or pre-cut ingredients, ensuring everything is made from scratch! The entire menu can be customized to be made gluten-free, spicy, non-spicy, with lots of vegetarian and vegan options! The restaurant is located at 5577 North Hamilton Road, has plenty of nearby parking, and we’ll have a section of the restaurant reserved for the group! We’ll head there immediately following the movie. (Side note: This is a first-ever visit for the Movie Group. But, vegetarians/vegans in the group may remember this place from Veg Group get-togethers here about 20-or-so-years ago!) Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
