Suzhou Creek and North Bund Walking Tour Come with me for a stroll along my favorite part of Suzhou Creek and North Bund, passing numerous historical sites and culture landmarks while enjoying some natural peace and quiet at the same time. The entire route is about 5 kilometers long and aims to lead participants in reading architecture, appreciating culture, and engaging with history and meet and greet new friends on the tour.. Suzhou Creek, the biggest tributary of the Huangpu, runs through central areas of the city and stretches from the Outer Ring to the Bund. Suzhou creek waterfront has been revitalized in recent years to provide uninterrupted walking paths, new gardens and ample resting areas. The riverbanks in Huangpu District, about 3 kilometers from Chengdu Road Bridge to Waibaidu Bridge near the Bund, has become a pedestrian-favored corridor Let us enjoy the enchanting scenery of the Suzhou Creek not only on foot, Waibaidu Bridge （Garden bridge） This is China’s first all-steel bridge and, in Shanghai style, lights up in different colors in the evening. This steel bridge from 1907 is one of a few unequal height truss bridge in China. It played a part in numerous books and movies With its rich history and unique design, it is a symbol of ShanghaiSimply enjoy the walk on the wooden deck of this old bridge Suzhou Creek holds a special place in the hearts of Shanghai residents. The region's silks and ceramics were carried along the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and centuries later the area became an early industrial hub of the city. Since Shanghai was forced to open its port in 1843, the creek has been the backdrop for dramatic landmarks in the city's history. It was the scene of wartime suffering and the birthplace of China's earliest national industries. North Bund offers innovation, history, stunning skyline views Shanghai’s riverside areas have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths, shikumen residences are being renovated, and the historic North Bund is becoming the city’s “most beautiful parlor.” Let's have a walk along North Bund, a gem with stunning views of the Lujiazui skyline, plenty of thrilling adventures to get up to, and countless photo-worthy moments waiting for you to capture.

Date & time: Mar 22nd 上午 10:00-12:30 From the [#1]() New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around youRobert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. 多数时候，你觉得自己理性？他人善良？ 你以为职场都该正面积极，却看不懂明摆的尔虞我诈？为什么人总爱和人比较？渴望拥有别人的财富、地位甚至外表？为何有人会一再爱上不对的人？为什么英国公民宁愿脱欧？美国人民会挺狂人川普？ 因为「人性」在下棋，我们不过是被摆布的棋子而已。 《人性18法则：认识自己、透视他人, 解码人类行为第一专书》第一本解码人类行为专书，让你浸淫在各式各样的人类行为中，并学会破解这些行为的密码。读完本书，你将彻底改变你看待自己、他人甚至世界的方式。 We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense. 读完本书，你将： 变成更沉着、更有策略的人类观察者。 更精准判读他人不断释出的讯号，更有识人之明。 变得强大足以对抗人生中躲不掉的损友、小人或各种有毒人格者。 知道想激励人、影响人，要扳动哪一根杠杆才能事半功倍。 能挣脱低潮和困境，顺利摆脱负面行为模式。 变得更具同理心，让你与身边的人建立起更深刻、更满意的关系。 改变看待自身潜力的眼光，察觉内心更理想的自己，并着手去实践 看穿人的面具： 角色扮演法则 人往往会戴上面具来让自己展现出最好的一面──谦虚、自信、努力。他们会谨言慎行，会看起来对我们说的话充满兴趣。他们会学着隐藏自身的不安全感与羡慕之情。若把外表看到的他们当真，那我们就永远不会知道他们内心在想什么。甚至有的时候，我们会被他们突发的抗拒、敌意与操弄所蒙蔽。所幸，这张面具并不是滴水不漏地毫无缝隙。人会持续性地泄漏出自己的本性以及无意识的欲望，因为非语言的线索，如:脸部的表情、音色的转折、身体肌肉的张力与人紧张时的本能反应等并非他们能完全控制。你必须熟练于这种「非语言的语言」，让自己面对不论男人或女人都有一双火眼金睛，不会为他们的浮面所欺。有了这种神功护体，你就能对很多人事物防患于未然。反过来说，由于表象是别人用来评判你的根据，你也必须学着去表现出自己最好的一面，让角色扮 ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入戏剧效果。 ▌通透人性法则，人生不再撞墙！ 人性比我们想的更复杂、神秘且引人入胜。然而，科技进步和社群媒体带来的巨变，使人类比以往更耽溺于自我世界，而其自恋程度也是前所未见。葛林认为，想让人生不再撞墙，或更进一步打进任何群体，发挥你想要的影响力，人性，都是你必须重新通透的一门学问。跟随本书揭示的人性18法则，彻底认识自己，打破负面行为模式，才能趋吉避凶；学会洞察人心，才能掳获人心： ‧不理性的法则：人生有多少决定，是你的情绪作主，而非你的理性？ ‧自恋的法则：人人自恋的时代，学会把自恋炼成自信，再用同理心培养出圈粉超神力！ ‧角色扮演的法则：很少人会有话直说，学会破解非语言线索，你也能像通灵一样善解人意！ ‧强迫症行为的法则：人生不停鬼打墙？有时问题不在你，而在你身边的有毒性人格！ ‧垂涎的法则：如何让人爱不释手？知道何时和如何有所保留，成为别人「渴望」而不可及的目标。 ‧防卫心的法则：如何软化反对你的人?化身深度听众，学会善用对方的话和固执，把他拉到同一阵线！ ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入 Event schedule **活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领，及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， Truth or Dare, 真心话大冒险 英文版 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book. **How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?** The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar. **Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?** Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you. **Is this group open to everyone?** Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.

Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense. 读完本书，你将： 变成更沉着、更有策略的人类观察者。 更精准判读他人不断释出的讯号，更有识人之明。 变得强大足以对抗人生中躲不掉的损友、小人或各种有毒人格者。 知道想激励人、影响人，要扳动哪一根杠杆才能事半功倍。 能挣脱低潮和困境，顺利摆脱负面行为模式。 变得更具同理心，让你与身边的人建立起更深刻、更满意的关系。 改变看待自身潜力的眼光，察觉内心更理想的自己，并着手去实践 看穿人的面具： 角色扮演法则 人往往会戴上面具来让自己展现出最好的一面──谦虚、自信、努力。他们会谨言慎行，会看起来对我们说的话充满兴趣。他们会学着隐藏自身的不安全感与羡慕之情。若把外表看到的他们当真，那我们就永远不会知道他们内心在想什么。甚至有的时候，我们会被他们突发的抗拒、敌意与操弄所蒙蔽。所幸，这张面具并不是滴水不漏地毫无缝隙。人会持续性地泄漏出自己的本性以及无意识的欲望，因为非语言的线索，如:脸部的表情、音色的转折、身体肌肉的张力与人紧张时的本能反应等并非他们能完全控制。你必须熟练于这种「非语言的语言」，让自己面对不论男人或女人都有一双火眼金睛，不会为他们的浮面所欺。有了这种神功护体，你就能对很多人事物防患于未然。反过来说，由于表象是别人用来评判你的根据，你也必须学着去表现出自己最好的一面，让角色扮 ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入戏剧效果。 ▌通透人性法则，人生不再撞墙！ 人性比我们想的更复杂、神秘且引人入胜。然而，科技进步和社群媒体带来的巨变，使人类比以往更耽溺于自我世界，而其自恋程度也是前所未见。葛林认为，想让人生不再撞墙，或更进一步打进任何群体，发挥你想要的影响力，人性，都是你必须重新通透的一门学问。跟随本书揭示的人性18法则，彻底认识自己，打破负面行为模式，才能趋吉避凶；学会洞察人心，才能掳获人心： ‧不理性的法则：人生有多少决定，是你的情绪作主，而非你的理性？ ‧自恋的法则：人人自恋的时代，学会把自恋炼成自信，再用同理心培养出圈粉超神力！ ‧角色扮演的法则：很少人会有话直说，学会破解非语言线索，你也能像通灵一样善解人意！ ‧强迫症行为的法则：人生不停鬼打墙？有时问题不在你，而在你身边的有毒性人格！ ‧垂涎的法则：如何让人爱不释手？知道何时和如何有所保留，成为别人「渴望」而不可及的目标。 ‧防卫心的法则：如何软化反对你的人?化身深度听众，学会善用对方的话和固执，把他拉到同一阵线！ ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入 Event schedule **活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领，及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， Truth or Dare, 真心话大冒险 英文版 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book. **How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?** The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar. **Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?** Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you. **Is this group open to everyone?** Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.

💡Once you see the games of life… you can never unsee them. Last Sunday we explored a powerful idea: life may be made up of many different games we play—security, money, relationships, knowledge, service, influence, and awareness. But understanding the games is only the beginning. 📅In this second session, Adrian Cahill explores how these games interact, compete, and support each other. Participants will reflect on how different pursuits influence personal decisions, priorities, and life direction. 🎯When awareness increases, something powerful happens—we gain the ability to choose which games deserve our energy. 🎯This interactive MOTIVATE Community session invites deeper reflection on living consciously, aligning motivations with purpose, and creating balance among the many pursuits of life. 🎯Join us for this thoughtful and engaging conversation. **🎤 ABOUT THE MOTIVATE COMMUNITY** Our community is a not for profit, social enterprise.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

This is not an event, but an announcement that we are accepting new members. If you'd like to pursue joining our group, please write us at columbusmensgroup@gmail.com with a few paragraphs about yourself, what you'd like to experience in the group, and the contribution that you'd like to make.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!

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.

Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.” MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a head’s up, this is a longer movie at 2hrs 36mins. DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event. An RSVP here means you're signed up for the MOVIE! This portion will be open as long as seats remain. If you also plan to join for dinner, please also RSVP in the separate event listing for the dinner portion of this event. Should be a good one, Dan
