Not Repo! The Genetic Opera

A message from Matt.Sorry guys. I messed up a bit indeed. I not only haven't been able to get hold of a copy of this DVD, I am also not going to be there at the start or the session and my phone has died :D My plan is that everyone just brings along anything and we see what we can salvage from this? I nominate... Mohamed to be in charge of voting. I will try to get this film for next week for you though but will have a greater contingency plan sorted.A message from Mohamed.Emergency Members Choice!Bring along whatever you like, as long as it's science fiction/fantasy, and we'll have a vote on it. I'm bringing Conan the Barbarian, and Martin should be bringing the hilarious Chinglish subtitled version of Star Wars Episode III.Post your ideas on the wall of the Facebook event/group if you like so that people can have some idea of what might be on offer beforehand.See you tonight!http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=260899569518&ref=mfRepo! is a rock opera starring Anthony Head (Giles off Buffy) set in the year 2056.

A Very IFIS Christmas

Yes, it's that time of year once again. The temperature's dropping, everything's covered in tinsel and twinkling like a Twilight vampire and we're preparing to ritually gorge on a bland, tasteless bird. It's Christmas, and so out last The Institute For Impure Science (IFIS) film night of the term will be celebrating the festive season with an Science Fiction (SF) twist.
