Scarlet
Synopsis
From visionary Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda (MIRAI) comes a powerful, time-bending animated adventure about SCARLET, a medieval-era, sword-fighting princess on a dangerous quest to avenge the death of her father. After failing at her mission and finding herself gravely injured in an “Otherworld,” she encounters an idealistic young man from our present day who not only helps her to heal but shows her the possibility of a future free of bitterness and rage. When confronted again by her father's killer, Scarlet faces her most daunting battle: can she break the cycle of hatred and find meaning in life beyond revenge?

Ciorcal Comhrá sa chlub, beginners welcome!
Dear fellow Gaeilgeoiri,
Cead mile failte / a warm welcome to this group of Irish language lovers and enthusiasts. Hope you will enjoy everything it has to offer and feel free to suggest new events, and, why not step in as an event organizer?
What this group is not:
- A group limited to those with perfect proficiency in the language, where any single word of English is banned, and where you will get corrected for every séimhiú that, God forbid, you might be forgetting
What this group is:
- A forum of Gaeilge enthusiasts willing to share their interest and love of the language. We all started learning a language, including our own, from scratch at some point in our lives. Absolute beginners are welcome and should not feel intimidated. Near perfect and native Irish speakers are also welcome to share their vast knowledge of the language. Hopefully this will create a thriving community of lovers of the language at any level.

📚Book Swap And Social - Treat Your S(h)elf 📚
📚 There are always books that live within ourselves. Some books are living rent-free in the house. We need space for new books and to let go of some old ones. In reality, space to accumulate books in Dublin is only a dream. You may be a tsundoku (book hoarder). And want to let go a few books :-)
This will also provide an opportunity to refresh our literary tastes, book review from the participants, and declutter our bookshelves. ✨
So let's exchange books and discuss them together! 💬
📋 **Guidelines**
* Please bring your used or new books (plural, please!) to swap. Engage in discussions with other participants about the books.
* If you read e-books, I understand your situation; however, you are welcome to join us and take home a few books for your reading.
📝 **How does this work?**
Bring the books you'd like to swap and place them on the **book swap table**. Then pick the book you like and continue the conversations with the particpants.
**What happens if no one picks my book?**
You can take the book back with you or leave it in the table. As an organizer, I will take the book and donate to the charity bookshop or place in the little library like one in Pearse Street Dart Station.
Feel free to walk around and explore what other participants have brought. When you spot something that interests you, grab it before someone else does! Trust me—there's always friendly competition for the best reads.
**Don't forget to bring a bag to carry your new books home!**
We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me.
🔍 **How to find us?**
* When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group.
* If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you.
As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡
I hope to see you all soon! 😊

The Avengers and the Fantastic Four are stopping yet another alien invasion\. Spidey and Daredevil are dealing with the worst crime bosses in the city\. So when a dangerous new drug called R starts spreading among human and mutant kids\, the Mayor of New York calls your team: “Track the source\. Cut the supply\. Find who’s behind it before the drug spreads further\.” Your team includes heroes who can fly\, teleport across the city\, bend steel with their bare hands\, and blast devastating energy\, but whoever is behind the R\-drug is not just another street gang\. You will have to investigate the streets and take down anyone standing in your way\, without leveling half of New York and its honest citizens in the process\.
