From miles at assyrian.org.uk Thu Nov 5 10:41:03 2009 From: miles at assyrian.org.uk (Miles Gould) Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 18:41:03 +0000 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Cult film Message-ID: <20091105184103.F6722@assyrian.org.uk> Hi everyone, For a while now, we've been attempting to have a regular film-watching night on the first Thursday of the month, which is of course tonight. This month, there was some confusion over which film to watch, so (of course) I'm only telling you about it now. Sorry. Anyway, you're all invited: if you want to come, show up at our flat (6/14 Academy Street, Leith) from about 2030 onwards. The buzzer sort-of works now, but my number's 07813 917746 in case you can't make yourself heard. The two candidate films are: * The Rocky Horror Picture Show - horror comedy musical pastiche thing starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Meatloaf, written by Richard O'Brien. Audience participation compulsory, dressing-up optional. * The Dish - heartwarming film about the radio-telescope in the Australian outback that relayed the pictures from the first Moon landing. Show up and vote for whichever one you'd like to watch!

We had the food last time we were there, and I for one enjoyed it. Then again, I spent nine years in English boarding schools, and am hence capable of enjoying food that many would turn up their nose at.

There is no way that I'm going to watch a new episode of Doctor Who (one that is filmed in HD, even) for the first time on a mobile phone! No, iPlayer on Virgin Media when I get back to London will do me fine. Thanks :) Dave...
