Specifically, how …

Join for one, Saturday a few, or all four. Potential for movie and dinner as a fun …

The Marin Film/Foodies is a group of like-minded men and women who enjoy a wide variety of movies. Whenever possible, we try to match the ethnic cuisine of the film, but otherwise the goal is just to share a good meal and conversation after a movie.   We primarily watch movies in Marin County. We regularly patronize the Rafael Film Center, but also visit mainstream cinemas and other local venues. Very rarely we will venture outside Marin and go to a specialty cinema in the East Bay, San Francisc …

Laid Back Lively Ladies- it's a bit of a contradiction, isn't it? But it couldn't be more perfect. Most women have incredibly diverse interests- enjoying an occasional night on the town but also loving a casual movie night or a girl’s night in. This group is for women for whatever reason have looked around and realized, “Hm- I don’t have many girlfriends anymore.” Perhaps you are in this funny stage between college and marriage. Or maybe through the years- your friendships have faded. This …

Ever get irritated when someone talks during the movie? Then this is NOT the group for you. Although Mystery Science Theater has not been on cable tv for years, it retains a cult following. The MST3K team watches the same bad movie as us, but with the sound turned down a bit, they inject their own commentary on top of the movie. If you’re unfamiliar with MST3K, this will give you a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53i_GAQn40g&feature=related Mystery Science Theater is back, live! The …

… My personal hope is that this group will continue to meet the needs of all members, no matter the type of movie each is personally interested in. I believe in empowering people to make the group what they want, so I am very generous in applying the assistant organizer position to those who request it. All I ask is that the events are Bay Area based, movie specific, and do not cost anything above theater admission prices to attend. Also, be sure to check the Message Board periodically for various …
