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 …

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 …

I ran a cinema for many, many years, and what I loved the most was talking to folks about their experience of the films. In this meetup group, I hope we can create special, memorable filmgoing experiences where we can gather in an interesting venue, see a film together, and enjoy chatting over coffee, drinks or dinner. All suggestions for venues, films and gathering spots are welcome.
