Mystery Screening

Week twelve at last, eh? In the infinite wisdom of Upper Management, that makes this week the last week of session. Aww. To make it all up to you, this week we’re having a Mystery Screening.

As usual for SpockSoc, the screening will kick off from 5pm in Goldstein G06. Entry is free for members, and $2 otherwise.

Due to it being in the middle of Stuvac, we’ve decided not to have a screening on Halloween, but keep an ear out for possible screenings, marathons and movie trips during the summer break. Hope to see you all again next year. We’ll be running a stall at O-Week all week, so feel free to drop in for a visit.

Week Eleven

Week eleven, huh? Almost the end of the session. For this week’s SpockSoc, we have a bit of a choice.
Firstly, we have Quantum Leap, as advertised on the website.
Secondly, there’s a miniseries called Tin Man – it’s a new, more mature re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz.
Thirdly, we can watch an assortment of one-offs and movies – the current plan is the new versions of A for Andromeda, the Andromeda Strain, which should make for a full screening. =)

Regardless, we’re going to be in Goldstein G06 from 5pm. Possibly if the demand is great enough, I might appropriate a second room, and we can show two of the three options.

As ever, entry is free for members, and $2 otherwise – there’ll be a pizza run during the night, with $5 per half pizza.

Torchwood

I hope you all enjoyed your mid-session breaks, and the screening during the break.

This week at SpockSoc: Torchwood season two. Come see the second season of the Doctor Who spinoff. Even if you were disappointed by the first season, come along anyway – it got less stupid by the tenth episode or so, honest. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the end of the first season – I’ll attempt to give a brief recap before we start.

As usual, we’re on from 5pm in Goldstein G06 – entry is free for members, $2 otherwise. Pizza run during the night.

SciFi Movies

Hi All and Welcome to the SpockSoc Movie free for all.

This Friday we are having a Sci Fi (and possibly some fantasy) movie night. Please bring your favourite Sci-Fi movies, old and new, VCR or DVD.

We will be taking a vote on the night and we will watch the winners. Hopefully we can get a wide selection and range of movies to fit everyone’s taste.

There will be a pizza run during the night, the usual $5 for half a pizza and drink.

Date: Friday, 3/10/08
Time: 5pm – 11pm
Location: Goldstein G06, UNSW

Eureka

This week at SpockSoc, we’ll be showing Eureka season three.

For those not familiar with the show, Eureka is a town in America where the government has gathered the country’s best scientists to develop shiny new technology. That said, as ever when lots of scientists get together in American shows, things start to go wrong with very fabric of space/time on a regular basis. Enter Sherrif Jack Carter, the average-joe former federal marshall who got recruited to be the town’s police chief.

It’s quite a funny series, and I suggest you come along, even if you haven’t seen the first two seasons – while there is a bit of a story arc, it should be reasonably easy to pick up.

As ever, we’ll be in Goldstein G06, starting at 5pm. Pizza run during the night. Entry free for members, $2 otherwise.

The Middleman

Come join us for some fun new Sci Fi.

Due to popular demand following a trial screening of the first episode in week five, this week we’ll be showing a new series called The Middleman.

It’s a sci-fi/comedy series, and possibly the best way I’ve thought of to describe it is what would happen if Captain Jack and Gwen from Torchwood joined the Men in Black.
It stars Matt Keeslar as The Middleman, a real-life comic book hero who thinks Jughead is a hoot, loves a cool refreshing glass of milk, and whose greatest pet peeve is scientists who twist innocent primates with computer-enhanced mind control and live out their sick and perverted fantasies of criminal power.
Also stars Natalie Morales as Wendy Watson, aka Dub Dub, his incredulous wise-cracking sidekick.

This Friday at SpockSoc: Red Dwarf!

Come and see the classic staple of British Sci-Fi comedy. Have any episodes you want to see? Bring them along – DVD, video or computer format, it doesn’t matter. We’ll be showing whatever episodes we happen to have on hand, and maybe possibly the first American and the Japanese pilot episodes.

As ever, screenings start in Goldstein G05 from 5pm – you’ll find a map on our website. Entry is free for members, or $2 otherwise, and there’ll be a pizza run during the night.

Hope to see you there,
