Please let me know your thoughts. Suggestions about meetin …

Ever get irritated when someone talks during the movie? Then this is NOT the group for you. Although Mystery Science Theater has not been on cable tv for years, it retains a cult following.

If you’re unfamiliar with MST3K, this will give you a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53i_GAQn40g&feature=related Mystery Science Theater is back, live! The M …

Let's hang out when attending SF operas or some HD operas in movie theaters. It'd be fun to build up some friends at Opera House. I go to La Travia 9 times in 2009 (I like only a few operas.

"I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see." — Dziga Vertov This is a group dedicated to providing a space for other Bay area documentary lovers to meet, see, and discuss rare, hard to access documentary films.

You wear your Chuck Tailors more often then high heels.  Sarcasm and irony are part of your repertoire.  You're classy most of the time but love a little trashy here and there.  You relish in the tackiness of the Tonga Room/Medieval Times/Madonna Inn because they're all so ridiculous.  Your tongue is sticking out in 75% of the photos you're in.  You typically find yourself hanging out with guys and every once and a while you think "I could use a couple of friends who are female".  You secretly l …
