Fine Spirits

Season's greetings y'all, Coming all the way from Norway to Nova this week, along with the weather it seems, is the family drama, Sentimental Value. It will be screening in cinema 3 at 6:40pm and rates quite highly on IMDB which is re-assuring. We'll be in the meeting place [read on for details] from 6:30pm. If you miss us there, then catch us in the cinema or the Nova Bar afterwards. If you're out of town, or otherwise unable to attend, then I look forward to seeing you in 2026. Otherwise, wishing you a safe and happy holiday season. Dan **--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--** Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 mins before the start time or see us in the movie. **--=>+ The Film +<=--** Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) returns with SENTIMENTAL VALUE, winner of the Cannes Grand Prix and starring returning muse Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) alongside Stellan Skarsgård (Chernobyl) and Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown). Sisters Nora (Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father Gustav (Skarsgård), a charismatic, once renowned director. When he offers stage-actress Nora a role in his new film, a deeply personal story that he hopes will launch a comeback, she turns it down. Nora soon discovers her part has been given to a young and eager Hollywood star, Rachel Kemp (Fanning), who begins to work on the film immediately. Suddenly, both sisters are forced to navigate their complicated relationship to Gustav alongside dealing with an American star nosing around their complex family dynamics. Some Norwegian language, English subtitles **--=>+ Tickets +<=--** Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward. **--=>+ Afterwards+<=--** We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice. If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's

Hi Everyone, I'll be teaming up with fellow magical presenters to offer you Light upgrades, spiritual downloads, release from the old, resets with the new you with a sacred - Rebirth & Realignment 2026: A Soul Reset & Frequency Upgrade Workshop As the year comes to a close, the Universe invites us into its sacred cycle of *completion and renewal* — a time to release everything that no longer serves, shed old patterns, and step boldly into the highest version of who you are becoming. Embrace your luminous new self and align with your new timeline. ***Rebirth & Realignment 2026*** is a deeply transformative end-of-year spiritual gathering designed to help you realign with your true self, activate your inner light, and prepare your energy field for the new timeline ahead. This experience weaves together powerful modalities, guided by three gifted facilitators, creating a multidimensional space of healing, clarity, and expansion. **Highlights of the event:** • *Grounding Meditation & Chakra Activation:* Settle into your body and anchor your energy into the present moment. From this centred state, your chakras gently open, allowing your system to receive higher frequencies, restore balance, and prepare for deeper healing throughout the evening. *• Group Reiki Healing Session:* exceptionally powerful when individuals with similar resonance gather with a shared intention. In this collective field, each person’s energy amplifies the others, creating a unified vortex of divine support that helps everyone release, revive, and heal on a much deeper level. • *Live Channelling with Collective Guidance and Frequency Activation Codes.* Receive intuitive messages and higher wisdom tailored for the group’s energy. This guidance supports your inner evolution, offering clarity and alignment as you step into the new year. • *Sound Frequency Activation Journey - Pleiadean Channeled* Immerse yourself in a field of healing vibrations as crystal tones and vocal frequencies move through your body. These sound waves gently recalibrate your energetic system, dissolve tension, calm the mind, and elevate your vibration so you can integrate the evening’s healing on a deeper, cellular level. • *Oracle cards* *• Closing Ceremony & Optional Networking* Integrate your experience and anchor the shifts you’ve received by setting clear intentions for your path ahead. The evening concludes with a guided protective shielding — an armour of light to keep your energy clear, safe, and uplifted — followed by optional connection time with like-minded souls in a nurturing community space. ***Why This Event Is Special?*** This gathering is intentionally curated as an energetic bridge —a sacred portal guiding you from who you’ve been…into who you are now ready to become. Step into the new year with clarity, ease, and purpose. •Reconnect with your higher self and true potential •Prepare your soul for a refreshed timeline and new beginning This is your moment to shed the old, revive your light, and rise into the highest expression of yourself. ***Perfect For You If…*** •You feel the need to release emotional or energetic heaviness •You want to begin the new year aligned, centred, and empowered •You’re seeking clarity, healing, renewal, or direction •You’re ready to move into your next chapter with intention you’d love to experience multiple healing modalities in one transformative evening. **Ready to step into your next evolution?** Reserve your spot now and begin the new year in a higher vibration.

Take a break from the craziness of the holiday season and relax at The Lion with us. This is an new (to me) place in Bexley that serves cocktails, beer and wine, coffee, tea, pastries, snacks, caviar--a little bit of everything. The cocktail they made for The Drexel to sell for screenings of "Wicked For Good" was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Their tea list is also impressive. Take special note of the Emperor's Private Reserve Pu-erh! https://www.thelionbexley.com/menu I don't know how large the place is, so it's possible we might find places to sit, or we might need to stand. This is an informal event to explore this interesting location.

Join us as we kick the New Year with a fun Happy Hour and your choice of two fun, new films! Option 1 is the biographical-musical-docu-drama, SONG SUNG BLUE, which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the story about a real-life couple and Neil Diamond Tribute Duo. Option 2 is the comedy-action-adventure ACACONDA, which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as part of a group of friends remaking a favorite movie from their youth. Here’s a complete description, trailer and our plan for this event: SONG SUNG BLUE: The film follows Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, who experience success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. Not a tribute to Neil Diamond, but a tribute to a Neil Diamond Tribute Band! The film is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name and is directed by Craig Brewer. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Critics call the film, “a crowd-pleaser with a ton of heart!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM0Ztp3o1o ANACONDA: In this action-thriller-comedy-adventure, a group of friends going through a mid-life crisis head to the jungle to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter “unexpected events.” The film is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Selton Mello, Daniela Melchior, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. The film is a reimagining of the 1997 original. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMsFsfrPNaw PLAN: We’ll kick off the event with a pre-show Happy Hour at nearby Bravo! We’ll confirm the details and exact meeting time once we get the showtimes, but planning for 5 to 5:30pm for the Happy Hour and a 7pm-ish showing of both films. For the movies, we’ll meet inside the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtimes! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your Movie of Choice and seat number in the Comments below. Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
