The Anti-Room Film Club
I was trying for ages to come up with a cool enough post title to suit the new Anti-Room Film Club, and I failed miserably. Puns didn’t seem appropriate, and my usual smartarseisms a bit too flippant. I think this is a really snappy idea, and not just because I also write for the Anti-Room. Disclaimer out of the way? Here we go, then.
The Anti-Room, in case you’ve been living down a well, is a site written by a fantastically slapdash bunch of ladies who cover everything from pop culture to politics. We love film, and we love a lively discussion over drinks, so we’re combining the lot in our monthly film club, which starts tomorrow night, Wednesday 6th, in the Workman’s Club on Wellington Quay, Dublin! We’ll be showing cult or classic films, and there is sombre promise of cake. I shall be missing for the inaugural screening, and therefore missing the cake, but I’m positive they’ll post me down a slice. Or even send it by courier! Yeah, that’d be fitting, I think.
The very first movie is Mogambo, John Ford’s 1953 classic starring Clark Gable, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner, who plays one of cinema’s few triumphant bad girls.
Doors at 7.30pm, and everyone is welcome, so long as they don’t eat my cake. I’m also hearing interesting things about spot prizes, so, at last count we have film, debate, cheerful shouting, drinks, prizes, and cake. All for free. FREE.
Now. Never say I don’t be bringing ye proper culture.
About the Author
Lisa McInerney That cranky young wan from award-winning blog, Arse End Of Ireland, Lisa’s also noted for her dedication to cobbling together unrelated imprecations to make new and bemusing insults, mostly because she’s not eloquent enough to otherwise explain her deep-seated terror of genre fiction and Fianna Fail. In 2006, The Irish Times called her “… the most talented writer at work in Ireland today”, and her mam still can’t understand why this is better than being the new Marian Keyes. Which it totally is.
