🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m08TxIsFTRI) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** Ryland Grace is a school-teacher-turned-astronaut who wakes up from a coma, alone, on a space station with no memory of who he is or his mission. His memory returns in bursts and he pieces together that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to reverse the impact of a space event that had already hurled our planet into the early stages of an Ice Age. As details of the mission unravel, Grace must call on all of his scientific training and sheer ingenuity, but he might not have to do it alone… *** ### 🗓️ **Event Details** 📍 **Meetup Time:** 6:00 PM (Final time + theatre announced Tuesday of event week) 🎬 **Movie Start Time:** TBA ⏱️ **Runtime:** TBA 📌 **Meetup Spot:** To be confirmed (based on theatre) 🎟️ **Cost:** * **$11.50** for *CineClub* members * **$16.00** regular admission 👉 You are responsible for buying your own ticket. **🪑 Reserved Seating:** You must buy your ticket *before* signing up.

✨🌙 EXPLORE LUMIÈRE: THE ART OF LIGHT 🌙✨ An Outdoor Night Walk of Light, Art & Waterfront Vibes Let’s go chase some light. Join us for **Lumière: The Art of Light** (formerly the Winter Light Exhibition) in its beautiful new home at **Trillium Park**. This free outdoor exhibition transforms the park into an illuminated art experience, featuring works by Ontario artists who use light, innovation, and creativity to reimagine public space. This year’s curatorial theme is *“Renewal”* — celebrating the shift from winter into spring, longer days, and that subtle feeling that something new is beginning. There’s something magical about walking by the water at night, surrounded by glowing installations and good company. It’s reflective. It’s playful. It’s very Toronto. 👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) *** 🌉 The Plan We’ll meet at the iconic **Princes' Gates**, then walk together over to Trillium Park. We’ll spend about an hour exploring the installations at a relaxed pace — taking photos, chatting, and soaking it in. Afterward, we’ll continue the evening with food and drinks by the waterfront. Most likely we’ll head to **Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill** along Queens Quay. We’ll hop on the TTC streetcar for a few stops to get there. Art first. Social second. Best of both worlds. *** 🧥 What to Bring This is an outdoor nighttime event — please dress properly. * Warm coat * Hat & gloves * Warm boots or sturdy shoes * Something warm to drink Comfort = enjoyment. *** 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: In front of the Princes’ Gates 🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat ⏰ Meetup Time: 7:45 PM ❗ I will only wait 10 minutes Please arrive on time so we can walk over together. *** 💰 Cost Explore Lumière: FREE 🎉 🎟️ **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash in person **or** e-transfer to 📧 \*\*[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**](http://mathewmaclean@hotmail.com%2A%2A/) This fee helps support the group and allows us to keep hosting events like this.

And remember — you can just show up on the day if you’re unsure about your schedule. *** ⏳ Leaving Time You’re free to head out at any time — after the lights, after dinner, whenever works for you. *** ⚠️ A Gentle Reminder Sometimes circumstances change and events may need to be canceled — please keep an eye on updates. *** 👤 Organizer: Mathew Questions?

This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations. After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.
