Movie tonight!

Dear all,

Tonight's movie shall be our second attempt at watching Terry Gilliam's Brazil - owing to confusion last week, D&D 2- Wrath of the Dragon God was shown instead( including to 2 Classics Students for about 15minutes who wandered into the wrong film night by mistake).
So Brazil it is tonight!

On a separate note, there shall be a shindig/party/get-together this coming Friday ( the 25th) at 25 Magna Road in Englefield Green to celebrate the end of another year of academia and meet up one last time before some people head off until further notice. It is BYOB( bring your own booze- mixers are also appreciated), snacks and food are also welcome.
Kick off shall be at 7pm(ish) and the evening may include a terrible movie( which I may use as an opportunity to inflict D&D movie number 1 on people). Anyone who doesn't know where the place is is advised to head for St Jude's Road (in front of the graveyard) and call for a search party to rescue them.

Regular pub night on Thursday shall also be happening this Thursday as per usual.

See you all soon, Clementine

Did they actually sit and watch the film for a while? Did it take them fifteen minutes to realise that it wasn't classics related? I remember when IFIS did a Doctor Who weekend back in 2001, and security sent a group of people over to Founders Lecture Theatre where we were holding it. They sat through twenty minutes of William Hartnell grumping about the TARDIS before one of them came and asked when the Maths seminar was going to start!

I'm sure it seemed a lot longer than 15 minutes. But in their defence, they
were expecting to be watching Immortals which is kind of similar in that
they're both fantasy films with mythical creatures and sword fighting and
stuff like that. I'm guessing the lack of greek names and outfits was what
twigged them to their mistake though.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, yes. I've not seen D&D2. D&D1 was bad enough.

Though it did have the saving grace of Jeremy Irons, chewing the scenery like a mad thing. The main character was called "Ridley", which gave Mad Jeremy the chance to shout "NOT SO TALENTED, MISTER RIDLEY!!!!!!!" at him near the end.

D&D2 was worse
