And it's Brit Month here at IFIS!
Dear Britishers, disguised airmen or transit passengers departing from Terminal 5,
Hello :)
This Tuesday we kick off our month of British sci-fi and fantasy with Red Dwarf! For those of you who aren't familiar with the series, the very fullsome description I have culled from Wikipedia is as follows!
"Red Dwarf is primarily a character-driven comedy, with off-the-wall<http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/off-the-wall>, often scatological<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_humour> science fiction elements[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dwarf#cite_note-4>used as complementary plot devices<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_device>. In the early episodes, a recurring source of comedy was the "Odd Couple<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odd_Couple_(film)>"-style relationship between the two central characters of the show, who have an intense dislike for each other and are trapped together deep in space. The main characters are Dave Lister<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lister>, the last known human alive, and Arnold Rimmer<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Rimmer>, ahologram<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hologram> of Lister's dead bunkmate. The other regular characters are Cat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_(Red_Dwarf)>, a lifeform which evolved from the descendants of Lister's pregnant pet cat Frankenstein; Holly<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_(Red_Dwarf)>, Red Dwarf's computer and Kryten<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryten>, a service mechanoid".
As usual, ALT2 is our meeting place from the hour of 7pm. Please come as this will be lots of fun!
* We will be following this up with our special fan-dub event next week! This will involve being very silly and dubbing over a movie that will be announced shortly!
PICOCON is in 2 WEEKS! 16th and 17th of February so please do let us know who wants to come!
See you there!
