Past society events

The last film of the year is here! And we shall be ending the year with the film that put MIB back into it's place as THE fantastic alien present-day comedy. And after the semi-disaster that was MIB2 (sans the ball-chinian, obviously), we can hardly contain ourselves for one last film this academic year.

We shall be cataloguing some more books, to continue with the cataloguing we have done thus far! We shall start at 11am (or thereabouts) in the queens annexe. So come along, (with a laptop!), for most exciting stocktaking you will be at this year.

Every week, come rain or shine, we meet for a purely social gathering in The Al Ma Ma Ta (which is the pub near the railway station just off the center of Egham)

This is set a number of years after the last Terminator movie - enough time for Sarah's son, John, to turn into a mouthy wisecracking pain in the ass teenager. Skynet sends back another Terminator, this time to kill John and the resistance send back someone to intercept it and protect him. So a similar premise to the first film, but this one is a lot more action-y and Arnie also gets a lot more lines. There's also a lot more timey-wimey temporal paradox stuff and backstory to how Skynet came in to being.

We're planning on assembling our new cupboards, and sorting out the library, this Sunday. Meet outside the Queen's building at 12:30, we'll finally have the long-running cupboard saga sorted!

Watch the movie that inspired Alien and the first film by John Carpenter.

This happens every year on the 25th of May as a tribute to the late Douglas Adams. As a reference to the awesome Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, fans carry with them a towel in his honour. Do you know where your towel is?

Hey all! Sorry for the late email, but I have been busy trying not to fail my 4! (And that's not a factorial, to any of the mathematically inclined amongst you) exams this week, and have therefore been rather busy...

Star Trek is finally here! Will it be good? Or will it be awful, as Erin is wont to tell us? The way to find out is clear! Come with IFIS to see Star Trek: Into Darkness, and see for yourself! We'll be meeting on Wednesday 15th at 7:45pm, for a 2d showing. The film starts at 8:00.

Sooo... Anyone for animation? I hope so, because this week we shall be showing Titan A.E! It's a post-apocalyptic Science Fiction (!) film. The film combines traditional hand drawn animation with digital ink and paint. It also stars Matt Damon (Matt Daaaaammaaan), Bill Pullman, and Drew Barrimore, so there should be at least some mediocre acting on display to entertain everyone!

Star Trek. One of the most popular Science Fiction series of all time, responsible for importing into the popular conciousness such disparate concepts as teleportation, mobile phones, and 3-D printing, Star Trek has been an influential series for Scientists, and nerds alike.

Star Wars day is every year on the 4th of May. It is derived from a pun on the Jedi phrase "May the force be with you", namely "May the Fourth be with you".

This Saturday is Star Wars day and it's also Free Comic Book day. So with that in mind, we're going to head in to London and do a tour of comic and other geeky stores. Free Comic Book day is held on the first Saturday of May and selected comic book shops around the world will be giving away free comics.

Term is back! And with that comes revision, exams, and no end of stress. So come on down to your friendly neighbourhood IFIS, where we shall be attempting to ignore that pesky stress that everyone seems to be having... By showing looper (2012). We'll be going to the pub afterwards, so whether you drink or not, be sure to come down and socialise!
