Weird Movie Club Twin Cities

Grant will be leading the discussion for his choice, Terry Gilliam's Hunter S. Thompson adaptation "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Watch the movie on your own and come ready to chat about it. I don't see it available for free on any streaming site, so you might have to rent it from Fandango or Amazon.

We'll meet at Pryes Brewing, which has lots of space and isn't very noisy. It's near downtown Minneapolis but has plenty of parking. I'll get there around 6:30 p.m. and claim a table on the opposite side of the bar. Get a drink and then head to the other end of the building, to one of the long tables near the risers. It appears to be quietest there and there will probably be a long table free. Either way, you'll be able to identify me by my baseball cap that says "Weird Movie Club" on it.

Join us to watch and then discuss "Swiss Army Man," the debut feature of the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), who hit it big with possibly the most enjoyable movie of this decade, "Everything Everywhere All at Once." I chose "Swiss Army Man" because it was nominated in a survey of group members I did a while back, and it's quite fun and basically library-appropriate.

I'll get to the library at 1:30 p.m. and try to set everything up in time for a 2 p.m. start. Get there early so you don't miss a minute. The library closes at 5, so we'll have to wrap up discussion before then. Discussions tend to last no more than about half an hour.

It's all free. We'll be in the Andy Boss Community Room on the 4th floor of the George Latimer Public Library in downtown St. Paul.

Street parking is possible, but you might consider using the light rail. A great place to park and ride is the Western Avenue stop of the Green Line. There's always parking on Aurora Avenue, one street south of University.

Let's talk about the haunting Jonathan Glazer film "Under the Skin." Watch the movie on your own and come ready to chat about it. I don't see it available for free on any streaming site, so you might have to rent it from Fandango or Amazon.

Let's try something a little different for this one. King Coil spirits has graciously offered a space for us for free on a Sunday evening. We just have to be out by 8, and it would sure help if we ordered drinks and dinner.

I will pre-order nine 12-inch pizzas for $150 total. There will be plenty of vegetarian options. You can just reimburse me for $10 if you have any of the pre-ordered pizza. You can give me cash or contribute on the main page of this group. Otherwise, you can order pizza there; King Coil has an OG ZaZa pizza restaurant on premises.

I've always wanted to screen movies that aren't really appropriate for the library and might be better with a drink or two in you. Ken Russell directed lots of movies like that. "Lisztomania" might not be his most cohesive or celebrated film, but it's the one that when I saw it, I thought, "Man, this would be great with a crowd!'

I'll get to King Coil at 3:30 p.m. and try to set everything up in time for a 4 p.m. start. Get there early so you don't miss a minute. We probably won't start right at 4, but try to be there around then anyway.

Parking should be no problem. King Coil has a big parking lot that it shares with a bunch of other businesses, including SPNN, where we had a showing of shorts a while back. None of these businesses are busy on Sunday evenings.
