Past society events

As with Donnie Darko, I haven't seen this, (I have read the books though).Here is the take on it from IMDB: "A hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons, becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed."

The best of Science Fiction/ Fantasy and Board Games comes together in an epic clash between these two great societies. Come and represent The Institute For Impure Science (IFIS) as we battle GameSoc to prove we are just as good as they are...

A less well known film after Ultron, I haven't watched Donnie Darko so this is what IMDB says:

We couldn't let the year pass without screening this. Not only is it a fantastic film, it also features a cameo appearance of our very own Founder's Building.

Got a favourite film you wish everyone would watch? Tonight is your chance.

This week, we are holding a quiz!It will have a mixture of the usual quiz categories (with the possible exception of 'sport') with an emphasis on Science Fiction and Fantasy (of course). There will be many, many prizes.

In the film "Back To The Future 2", Marty McFly travels forwards 30 years into the future to 2015. The exact time and date of his arrival is October 21st at 4:29pm Pacific time. For us in England that works out to be the 22nd at 0:29am. The future he finds himself in is vastly different to what we've actually got and this lends itself to the running joke of "Where's my [futuristic item]", usually a hoverboard as that was a key macguffin in this and the 3rd movie.

To celebrate Marty McFly's trip to the future, we will be holding a Back to the Future marathon on Wednesday afternoon.

An event called Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl held by IFIS on 2015/10/13 19:00 in/at ALT3

An event called Scott Pilgrim vs The World held by IFIS on 2015/10/06 19:00 in/at ALT3

Our first event of the year will be a screening of The Dark Knight! It's arguably the best Batman movie ever made, and will provide a great start to the year. There'll also be FREE PIZZA AND SNACKS, so come on down, and bring your friends! Everybody is welcome

The 22nd of September is said to be the birth date of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, but obviously separated by many years.

We thought we'd do a little social for people who are already around, before all the chaos of Freshers Week, so come along for a great afternoon of games, laughter, and science fiction/fantasy fun :)

Come along to vote for your new secretary, and possibly even run if you want to! After this, we will be watching a film, and as its members choice, this will be put to a vote, so feel free to bring along a DVD to suggest :)

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?

A young boy after being bullied by some other kids, steals a book and then breaks into an attic so he can skip school and read his ill gotten gains. The book tells the story of a young boy tasked with saving the world from a terrible Nothing by finding a cure for a dying princess.

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".

Free Comic Book day is a yearly event where various comic stores around the world, give away copies from a specific list of comics, for free in a bid to promote comics to a wider audience. There are a number of stores taking part in this within the London area, although this trip will only focus on the ones located in the centre of town.
