Cinema Club by Pignetismi: Old Boy by Park Chan-wook and aperitif (en/ita)
If you enjoy discussing movies and meeting new international friends, you’re very welcome to join our Pignetismi Cinema Club
*(Scroll for english)*
Il 28 aprile ci incontriamo per una serata dedicata a ***Oldboy*** (2003), un film intenso e disturbante che mescola vendetta, mistero e identità.
Un nuovo appuntamento di Pignetismi dedicato al cinema, alla condivisione e alle connessioni che restano.
Questa volta commenteremo e analizzeremo insieme *Oldboy*, il celebre film di Park Chan-wook: la storia di un uomo che, senza sapere perché, viene imprigionato per anni e poi improvvisamente liberato. Da quel momento inizia una ricerca ossessiva della verità e della vendetta, che lo porterà a confrontarsi con segreti profondi, memoria e conseguenze inaspettate.
Un racconto potente e spiazzante che esplora il lato oscuro delle relazioni umane e si costruisce intorno a una domanda inquietante:
quanto possiamo davvero conoscere noi stessi e gli altri?
**💬 Cosa faremo?**
✨ Discussione aperta (anche se non sei un esperto di cinema!)
✨ Giochi e conversazione guidata
✨ Spunti su identità, memoria, vendetta e destino
**ATTENZIONE: non verrà proiettato il film (puoi vederlo sulle piattaforme o se lo hai già visto in precedenza).**
Non è necessario aver visto il film, ma è preferibile per godersi al meglio la serata.
L’evento sarà guidato, ma in modo informale e accessibile, in un clima internazionale: non serve avere competenze tecniche, solo voglia di confrontarsi.
🗓 Martedì 28 aprile 2026
⏰ 19:30 – 21:30 (puntuali)
📍 Eclipse Pigneto - Vai Braccio da Montone 103
**🍹 Aperitivo**
**La consumazione è obbligatoria (non inclusa nel ticket).**
**Sarà disponibile un aperitivo a buffet al costo di 10€ (drink + cibo), da pagare direttamente alla location che ci ospita.**
🌿 Perché partecipare?
Perché *Oldboy* non è solo un film di vendetta.
È un viaggio nella psiche umana, nelle scelte e nelle loro conseguenze.
Un’occasione per parlarne insieme, conoscere nuove persone e guardare il cinema in modo più profondo.
**🎟 Posti limitati**
**Ti aspettiamo per una serata di cinema, emozioni e confronto.**

**ENGLISH VERSION**
🎬 Pignetismi Cinema Club – *Oldboy* (2003)
🗓 Tuesday April 28, 2026
⏰ 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
A new Pignetismi gathering dedicated to cinema, connection, and the stories that stay with us.
This time we’ll explore and discuss *Oldboy*, the iconic film by Park Chan-wook: the story of a man who is mysteriously imprisoned for years and suddenly released, only to begin an obsessive search for the truth and for revenge.
A dark and gripping journey into memory, identity, and the consequences of past actions — built around a disturbing question:
how well can we ever truly know ourselves and others?
💬 What to expect
✨ Open discussion (no film expertise needed!)
✨ Guided games and conversation
✨ Reflections on identity, memory, revenge, and fate
**ATTENTION: the film will not be screened (you can watch it on streaming platforms or if you’ve already seen it).**
Watching the film beforehand is not required, but recommended.
The event will be guided in an informal and welcoming way, within an international environment.
You don’t need to be a film expert — just curious and open to discussion.
📍 Location: Eclipse Pigneto
**🍹 Aperitivo**
**Consumption is mandatory (not included in the ticket).**
**A buffet aperitivo will be available for €10 (drink + food), to be paid directly at the venue.**
🌿 Why join?
Because *Oldboy* is more than a revenge story.
It’s a deep exploration of human psychology and consequences.
An evening to reflect, share perspectives, and meet new people through cinema.

La magia delle coincidenze
Nella vita di ogni persona accadono delle coincidenze particolari. Questo evento si rivolge a coloro che sono curiosi di conoscere storie di coincidenze affascinanti e spesso miracolose. Avremo a disposizione dei libri che raccolgono decine di storie VERE di coincidenze. Sceglierò per voi le più belle. Tranquilli, nessuna noia: si leggono in 3 minuti ciascuna! Anche io racconterò le mie esperienze (non a caso ne sono molto appassionato) e daro' dei suggerimenti per avere qualche vantaggio. Ogni partecipante se vuole potrà farlo. L' evento non ha scopo né di lucro né di vendita libri.Di solito possiamo occupare gratuitamente il tavolo della caffetteria; a volte basta consumare un semplice caffè. (* Può sembrare una iniziativa strana, ma già anni fa il direttore di Rai notte Gabriele La Porta raccoglieva le esperienze dei telespettatori, molte delle quali ha poi pubblicato in un libro).

Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them?
This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk.
This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary.
### What we'll do
* Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions
* Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo)
* Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle
* End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together
### What’s included
* Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry)
* A small traditional snack during the walk
* A relaxed, small-group experience
* Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language
### Optional tip
At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host. This is never expected, but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience and helps us cover the cost of organizing these walks.
### Important: how to join

Once registered, you’ll save your spot and also you can join our Whatsapp group linked above

Villa Torlonia + Quartiere Coppedè
[https://chat.whatsapp.com/HagJQGbDX3F1UPO6mDuwPk](https://chat.whatsapp.com/HagJQGbDX3F1UPO6mDuwPk)
Domenica ci vediamo a **Villa Torlonia** per una bella passeggiata rilassante tra giardini storici, statue, fontane e il fascino liberty della villa.
Dopo aver esplorato il parco (e magari **visitato gratuitamente il Casino Nobile, Casina delle civette o la Serra Moresca, visto che è la prima domenica del mese**), ci sposteremo a piedi nel vicino **Quartiere Coppedè**, uno dei luoghi più fiabeschi e fotografati di Roma.
Strade, palazzi e fontane sembrano uscite da un racconto: il Villino delle Fate, la Fontana delle Rane, il Palazzo del Ragno… un angolo magico della città da scoprire insieme.
👉 Tutto senza fretta, con spiegazioni curiose e aneddoti, non è solo una passeggiata culturale: sarà soprattutto l’occasione perfetta per socializzare 🙋♂️🙋♀️, conoscere nuove persone, chiacchierare, ridere e condividere la passione per Roma e per le camminate all’aria aperta.
Chi viene da solo torna a casa con nuovi amici. Chi viene in coppia o con amici scopre posti che non avrebbe mai trovato da solo.
**📌evento gratis,è benvenuto un sostegno per pagare i costi dell'app🙏**
➡️ La passeggiata si conclude al quartiere Coppedè, chi lo desidera potrà lasciare il gruppo, ma in ogni caso ritorneremo al punto di partenza. distanza **6** 𝙠𝙢,
➡️ Tempo necessario 𝟯 𝙤𝙧𝙚 circa
➡️ Scarpe comode👣
➡️ Puntualità 🕘
➡️Per le ragazze in lista d'attesa,
partecipate ugualmente se volete, capita che alla fine ci siano più uomini che donne confermate, cosi manteniamo un buon equilibrio tra ragazzi e ragazze
➡️ Fascia età 35/50
👉Queste passeggiate sono organizzate per socializzare senza scopo di lucro, il contributo richiesto è un semplice rimborso spese, **non c’è alcuna assicurazione infortuni e ognuno partecipa a proprio rischio e pericolo** senza possibilità di richiedere risarcimenti o rimborsi in caso di infortunio o malore.

**🌳 Sunday Walk: Villa Torlonia + Quartiere Coppedè** *First Sunday of the month = free museum entry!*
Join us this Sunday for a relaxing and scenic walk starting at **Villa Torlonia**. We’ll stroll through beautiful historic gardens, fountains, statues, and the elegant Liberty-style architecture of the villa.
After exploring the park (and **optionally visiting the Casino Nobile or the Serra Moresca for free, as it’s the first Sunday of the month**), we’ll walk to the nearby **Quartiere Coppedè** — one of Rome’s most magical and photogenic neighborhoods.
You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale: the Villino delle Fate, the Frog Fountain, the Palazzo del Ragno, and many other whimsical buildings.
**Many participants in our walks speak English**, so don’t worry if your Italian isn’t perfect — everyone is welcome!
* ➡️ The walk, which ends at the Coppedè district, allows those who wish to leave the group, but in any case, we will return to the starting point. Distance: **6** km.
* ➡️ Estimated time: 3 hours
* ➡️ Comfortable shoes
* ➡️ Punctuality
* ➡️For the girls on the waiting list: feel free to join anyway if you'd like! It often happens that in the end there are more confirmed men than women, so this helps us keep a nice balance between guys and girls. 😊

Contra dance with Big Scioty May 2 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Richard Ades**
**Band: The McKenzies**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Choose Your Movie: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES vs HOKUM at Cinemark Stoneridge!
Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk
HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
