Movie Events for the DCBC

So at the last meeting (which was fun and a great discussion of Daytripper), we thought it would be a good time to get together outside the normal schedule and try seeing this summer’s next two big comic book-related films as a group: The Amazing Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises.

Our plan is to see them at the AMC Northpark theater on a weekday afternoon (in glorious–and preferred–two-dimensions), then hit a restaurant or convenient meeting place afterward to talk and have a good time.  The proposed dates and showtimes are as follows:

  • Amazing Spiderman: July 10, 5:50 PM
  • Dark Knight Rises: July 31, sometime between 4:30-5:30 (showtimes are not posted yet for this date on AMC’s site)

Does this work for everyone?  Let’s try and purchase tickets early (I believe they can be bought through AMC’s website: http://www.amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/amc-northpark-15, then click the calendar to choose July 10, then click on the showtime and it will take you to a Fandango page to purchase tickets) and I will follow up when the showtimes are posted for July 31.

With your input and suggestions, we have finalized the reading list for next year! Here they arranged chronologically:

JAN. 12: Stargazing Dog by Takashi Murakami
FEB. 9: Planetary, Volume 1: All Over the World & Other Stories by Warren Ellis, John Cassaday
MAR. 8: Moving Pictures by Stuart Immonen and Kathryn Immonen
APR. 12: American Flagg! by Howard Chaykin
MAY 10: Ultimates, Volume 1 by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch
JUN. 14: Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba
JUL. 12: Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee
AUG. 9: Delilah Dirk & The Turkish Lieutenant by Tony Cliff [available online at http://www.delilahdirk.com/]
SEP. 13: Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol
OCT. 11: Beasts of Burden by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson
NOV. 8: King of the Flies, Volume 1: Hallorave by Mezzo and Pirus
DEC. 13: Invisibles, Volume 1: Say You Want a Revolution by Grant Morrison & Various Artists

In addition to these selections, we were thinking of organizing two separate, stand-alone events. The dates are still to be determined, but we thought having a movie outing to see The Amazing Spiderman film this summer with a discussion afterward would be fun. Also, since November will be election season, we thought doing a virtual, online meeting using Google mangout would be fun to talk about Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis, which has an election theme running through it. We’ll confirm these dates early next year; it’ll be fun trying some new meeting types!
