Enjoy film? Like discussions that move beyond likes and dislikes and explore the ways character and circumstance in film reveal true aspects of life and the ways humans relate deeply (or don't)?

Join for one, Saturday a few, or all four. Potential for movie and dinner as a fun …

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. The MST3K team watches the same bad movie as us, but with the sound turned down a bit, they inject their own commentary on top of the movie. 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 …

"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 documentary lovers to meet, see, and discuss rare, hard to access documentary films. My wife and I are both passionate about documentary film, and are constantly surprised that they get so little exposure. We thought a meetup group would be a great way to try and change this, as well as hopefully meeting some kindre …

This group is for people who love to watch and discuss movies of all genres: mysteries, suspense, horror, classics and current. We will meet once a month. Meetups can be set up for anything related to our common love of movies. For instance, we may meetup to have an informal discussion on some of the great movie classics. We can attend some of the independent and/or movies that play at the Vine theater or other theaters in the East Bay area and discuss them afterwards in a group setting. Or we c …

The goal is expanding knowledge of the beautiful area we live in, as well as possibly thru cultu …

A Sunday afternoon, a glass of wine, a few snacks, a fantastic piece of playwriting, and a group of avid play readers who like to have fun!  What could be better? East Bay PlayReaders is a group for amateurs who are theater lovers and would like the social experience of group reading. The group is open to anyone, and actors can join, but the purpose is to bring in non-professionals who want to be a part of a playreading, without theater experience. The venue we have chosen is in Alameda, CA. , b …

One of the best parts about living in a major cosmopolitan city is the ability to meet new and interesting people from all around the world! I've been fortunate enough to live is several awesome cities, where I've met fantastic people from all over. Now that I've arrived in San Francisco, I look forward to all of the fascinating people I'm going to meet here! Whether you're from the other end of the state, from the other end of the country (like me!), or from abroad, I'd love to welcome you to t …

Our basic mission: To see significant and/or interesting films playing in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and then to go somewhere close by afterwards to eat, drink, share company and discuss the films we just watched. The philosophy of the BAFS is to allow a network of wonderful Assistant Organizers to thrive and coordinate film outings at least every other week. Our goal is that this horizontal arrangement can continue, and that potential member hosts will schedule outings in the South, Eas …

The Red Lantern: Bay Area Asian Cinephiles, based in San Francisco, is the world's largest Meetup for Asian films.  In theaters and in private venues, we explore the high, the low and the everything-in-between of Asian cinema, from Woo to wuxia, from Ozu to "Zatoichi."

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 love the Tonga Room/Medieval Times/The Madonna Inn because they're all so ridiculous. You partake in the 5 dollar lunch buffet at the Gold Club whenever you get the chance.  Your tongue is sticking out in 75% of the photos you're in. Asia SF is a highlight in your past nightlife adventures. You typically find yoursel …

For a long time, I thought it would be fun to get together with others to act out famous movie scenes or iconic tv shows. Maybe I'm alone here, but I think it'd be a blast. I noticed that there aren't many venues for people to do acting for fun, just paid classes or theatrical productions. It just seems very exclusionary. Last summer, I took a couple of acting classes, but beyond that, I don't have any formal training or experience (except in third grade when I played the judge in a play that wa …

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. If I like them, I try to go all of the performances). Maybe some of us like to humm along some songs to just to have fun.  Check my Facebook link to have the most update event photos.
