đšđŹ TUNER
âď¸ **Everybody has one hidden talent, evidently!**
đ **Hey guys,** happy Sunday roasting as we're putting **Tuner**, directed by **Daniel Roher**, under the microscope tonight.
This film is tagged as a crime thriller that follows a piano tuner, played by **Leo Woodal**l, who becomes involved in safe cracking to help his mentor, played by **Dustin Hoffman**. The film is noted for its sound design and the dynamic between the two leads, but as hardcore movie fans, it would be fun to find out for ourselves whether it lives up to the hype.
Either way, this should make for a great night out as we meet for **drinks at Picturehouse Central at at 6:30 pm**. You'll find us upstairs at the bar, where we'll be chatting about some of our **favourite movie scores and soundtracks**. The screening itself will start at **7:45 pm up at Screen 3,** where you will find us in **row F12 and F13** if you wish to sit near us.
After the film, we'll reconvene once again to decide whether this one deserves to be toasted or roasted. And before heading home, we'll also collect everyone's scores for **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse)**. Youâll find the **full schedule breakdown, tickets, and addresses below**.
Let's fine-tune this baby!
**See you guys there**

Sapphic screening and social â BULLETPROOF - Lez Meet & Arcana collab
Ticket link here:
https://www.outsavvy.com/event/36369/sapphic-screening-and-social-bulletproof-for-all-queer-women
Come join us at THE ARZNER Cinema for an afternoon dedicated to sapphic culture ! This time we are screening a brand new documentary by Regan Latimer, "Bulletproof : A Lesbian Guide to Surviving The Plot"
Weâll gather from 3pm for drinks at The Arzner's bar before the screening starts (4.00pm), then stay on for some more fun time together, debating on what we have just watched đšđť
Synopsis:
In 'Bulletproof: A Lesbian's Guide to Surviving the Plot,' filmmaker Regan Latimer takes an insightful, immersive and personal look at queer representation on television and media's power to shape how we see ourselves. Witty, fast-paced and laced with pop culture references, Regan journeys across North America and beyond in her quest to understand the forces that influence the stories we see on our screens. Original animation and personal anecdotes are interwoven with wide ranging conversations with television insiders, LGBTQ+ community advocates and people who just love to watch TV. As Latimer navigates an ever-evolving media landscape, the filmmaker learns first hand that representation done well has the power to transform.
About Arcana: Finding films that truly reflect lesbian and queer womenâs lives remains a challenge. They are difficult to produce, to finance, to distribute, to promote, to find, to screen⌠one movie that comes to you has gone a very long way. Stories where we are not marginal, implied, tragic, or killed â but visible, complex, joyful, political, alive. Bringing those images and queer and lesbian representation to the big screen matters.
**Arcana stands loud and strong with our trans brothers and sisters** Any form of hate, discrimination, or transphobia will not be tolerated at any of our events. If you have any concerns or questions about this requirement, please feel free to reach out, and weâll do our best to address them.
Important note: Photos and videos will be taken at our events. Our photographers will be capturing the vibe, and some of these will be posted on our social media. Please come and chat to a host if you would prefer not to appear online.

THE BEAST/ La BĂŞte (2023)
In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives. She (re)lives her life in 1910 Paris and 2014 Los Angeles, and as the procedure goes on, the lines between her worlds become blurred. These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackayâs Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime.
*The Beast / La BĂŞte* can be streamed for free on Kanopy or the Criterion Channel. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime, AppleTV and YouTube.
Sunday funday: let's play dodgeball at Scioto Audubon park
Dodgeball is back again!
If youâve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. Weâll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed.
We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play.
If it rains, the event will be canceled.
Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.
The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
