Spookily, I have just watched the trailer for this and thought it looked interesting.

http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/dogtooth
I saw that at a festival in the autumn--it was quite interesting. But I think if I had cats, I'd be still having nightmares about one scene.

Edited: Hang on, I don't think that's quite right. There was one scene where something nasty was done to a cat, and even as a non-cat owner that had me hiding behind my hands.

Well this would be right up my street but don't know if it would appeal to others -

Dogtooth looks interesting to me. It'd have to be the Monday rather than the Wednesday for me, though, if we chose that one.

Monday would suit me better too but depends if Maels would be happy to see the film for a second time, otherwise I think we need to keep our thinking caps on.

Sorry, I somehow missed that Maels had already seen it.

I was pretty sleepy at the time, so I don't think I got much out of it--I don't mind seeing it again.

Purdyamos is having a ponder on the Greek suggestion too.

Having carried out the usual soundings, the next meeting will be 26 April, 18.20 for Dogtooth.

When is the next meeting for a film?

How many people normally turn up to these viewings? It obviously depends on the film as well.

I've just moved to Sheffield so am interested to coming to the next viewing.

Thanks

Having carried out the usual soundings, the next meeting will be 26 April, 18.20 for Dogtooth.

At the Showroom Cinema on Paternoster Row.

I will not be able to make tomorrow's meeting.

Let me know about the next one.

Thanks

Any meetings for 'The Time that Remains'?

Anyone is welcome to join, probably end up going sometime in the week, next week.

They have a couple of showings of Letter from an Unknown Woman next week. Cannot recommend this film highly enough.

If you haven't seen it before and are at all interested in cinema it is a must see. To be honest it's a must see on the big screen: period. Though perhaps not if your idea of great cinema is Michael Bay.

How about this for our next meet?

http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/lymelife

That would be OK with me :)

That's fine with me, too. Which day?

Monday 5th?

OK with me.
Will you send a message to the facebook group, if it's alright by maels too?

Hi,

When will you next be going? Is it a weekly or monthly outing?
I love watching films at The Showroom and I'd like to see Robo-Geisha and Black Dynamite if anyone else is interested?

Annie.

We are next going on Monday 5th at 18.45. Roughly monthly.

In an almost unprecedented piece of forward-planning, those of us who came along to the movie group last night agreed on a film, a date and a time for the next meeting.
We're going to see Letters to Juliet at 6pm on Monday 26th July, at the Showroom. http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/letterstojuliet

Hope to see you there.

Hi

I am interested in films and chatting about them, especially over a drink! Can anyone 'join'?

Also, when you guys meet monthly, what range of films do you watch and discuss- 'alternative' or foreign movies?

Yes, anyone's welcome to join us, and you can find out what films we've seen in the past by looking back through this thread. We see a lot of 'alternative' and foreign films with the odd mainstreamish one thrown in here and there.

I would be happy to see either the Runaways or the Illusionist on Thurs 16th Sept. Any other suggestions?

I'd be happy to see either; I may or may not be able to come, depending on what time a sofa arrives and urgently needs assembling!

To avoid ambiguity, as there has been no real take up on this, we will not be having a meet on 16th September. Suggestions welcome for next meet.

Well, there's The Winter's Bone at a sensible time next week (I've seen the trailer twice and it looks intriguing, although I did feel I'd get more out of it if there were subtitles...). And there's the Spanish Foreign-language Oscar winner at a sensible time the following week--I have no idea if it's any good but I wouldn't mind seeing it.

Following "soundings" our next meeting will be 6.30 on Thursday 23rd Sept for Winter's Bone.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that, if any of you are interested in making as well as watching films, there's a free workshop running in Sheffield on the 1st October. If you go to that you get the chance to make a short for free with professional support. The scheme's funded by Screen Yorkshire. You have to apply at the Bradford City of Film site... the deadline is this Friday 24th Sept!

This looks bizarre but perhaps worth a watch?

This looks bizarre but perhaps worth a watch?

I've seen the trailer and bizarre is certainly a word for it! (was also strange to hear Finnish) But as options at sensible times are pretty limited, I'd be up for it but I can only do the 20th.

Hi pb63 and maels,

On Rare Exports-this sounds good, I would definitely be interested in going to see it! When were you thinking of going?

20th suits me too, 7pm would be the best showing to allow for discussion.

As there have been no other suggestions shall we firm up for 7pm on the 20th?

Sorry, I can't make it tonight. Enjoy!

How about Blue Valentine as the next film, or does someone else want to suggest something else?

Fine by me.

Any suggestions for dates then? I think I'm free whenever.

Thursday 27th?

That would be fine with me :)

I'd really like to see that, and I'm free on 29th March.

How about this on 28th or 29th March?

I'd be happy to see that, and both days are fine with me.

Unfortunately the times don't look great. Of suitably timed films on 29th how about Submarine?

Fine by me.

Otherwise I'd be up for it but I've already seen it

The Portuguese Nun at 5.45?

The Portuguese Nun at 5.45?

Fine by me

Fine by me too.

Ok, I have sent that to the Facebook page to firm up on Portuguese Nun, 17.45 29th March.

Our next meet will be on June 22 for the 18.15 showing of Potiche.

Potiche was fun :)

Showroom July programme (http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/media/cinema guide/Showroom_Guide_July.pdf) is available now - any thoughts for next time?

Beginners looks good, but I could only do the Tuesday.

I would like to see the Conspirators but not on at a suitable time.

Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing either, but the Consiprator times are stupid, and Beginners on the Tuesday (26th) is only on at 4pm and 8.20pm, which are not very good either, so I don't know. Tree of Life trailer looked fairly interesting, but it's on at stupid times as well.

Looks like Beginners is on at 6.20 as well??

Looks like Beginners is on at 6.20 as well??
On other days yes but not on the Tuesday which I thought was the only day that you could do? Or which days are we talking about?

According to the online programme (linked above), it is the Monday where there is no 6.20 showing and there is one on Tuesday 26th. Maybe the printed programme is different? :confused:

No, you're right. The printed programme agrees with you, but if you go on the website and check what's on by clicking the date on the calendar, there's no 6.20 screening on the 26th.

This looks interesting!

It does :)

Shall we go for the showing on the 10th then, with the director/actor doing a Q&A afterwards?

Too silly?

Too silly?
I've seen the trailer a couple of times and it did look rather silly but it's sometimes hard to tell with trailers. But the description sounds interesting

Has been getting generally good reviews.

Shall we give it a go, assuming it's on at sensible times?

Is this group still meeting?

Yes though our numbers have become increasingly "selective". New blood always welcome.

http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/tyrannosaur

How about this on Tues 12th or Thurs 14th Oct at 1815?

The film looks interesting but that week isn't very good with me, I'm working until 5.30pm and can't really make it back to Sheffield until closer to half six.

Actually, scratch that, thanks to a rota shuffle I can make it now - would prefer Tues unless unless you've made other plans already.

There doesn't seem to be much else interesting on offer.

Actually, I can't make the Thursday any more, but Tuesday would be fine. So let's go for that at 1815.

OK, that's fine with me - so Tuesday the 11th at 1815 it is.

The Showroom November programme (http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/media/cinema%20guide/ShowroomGuideNovember2011.pdf) is out - The Awakening looks interesting

That looks good. How about the 14th or the 16th?

I would prefer the 16th

16th is fine by me.

Let's go for the 6pm showing of The Awakening on the 16th then.

How about The Artist during week beginning 9 January?

:help:
Not sure why you felt you needed to shout :confused: Anyway, the core of this group these days is me and pb63, and I'm the younger of us in my 30s. If you (or anyone else looking at this thread :)) feel like coming along to check out if we're not too young/old for you, we're seeing The Artist on Wednesday 11/01 at 18:35 and having a chat about it afterwards

I am in my late 40s.

http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/womaninfifth

How about this for our next meet?

I'd be happy to see that one :) Any thoughts on dates?

21st or 22nd would be best for me.

21st or 22nd would be best for me.

Either one would work for me - take your pick!

Does anyone else reading this fancy coming along?

I would be, I think. I've very rarely come on here previously, but have decided to try to go out and do things a bit more. So "yes".

We would be going for the 1845 showing Parsnip - do you have a preference between 21st and 22nd?

No; easy either way.

Well as no-one else has plumped, let's go for the 21st.

would like the opportunity to get into the habit of going to the flicks more often if you don t object could you tell me what film and when. Aren t orange still doing the wednesday deal

21st fine by me. Saw trailer for it tonight (at The Artist). Looks decent. Kristin Scott-Thomas always worth watching. I'm James, btw.

Orange Wednesdays are still going as far as I know.

Hi there,
Petra here. I'm a newbie to this group and I'm interested in joining you guys to see the Woman in The Fifth. So is the consensus Tuesday 21st @ 18:45? Also how does it work i.e. how will I spot you guys?

Well I don't know, and it's a good question that needs answering promptly if it's going to happen.

Well I don't know, and it's a good question that needs answering promptly if it's going to happen.

Still on for tomorrow :) And to help with attempts to spot me, I'm female with specs and shoulder length brown hair and very likely wearing a blue coat. We're usually meeting at the box office 10 mins before the start

Short-ish bloke, black Wolves hat, navy coat, glasses.

I have greying hair. glasses and am wearing a candy stripe coloured tie.

Just found this group! Are meetings still happening? If so when is the next one?

We are waiting for the May programme to be announced.

How about -

I'd quite like to see that one.

We habitually go for the 6.30ish showing to allow for unhurried discussion afterwards. Does any date particularly suit people?

I haven't got anything else planned for the week from 28 May yet, so any day should be fine.

I can't do the Thursday. Apart from that am fine.

How about Monday 28th then?
