Movie Night
March 11, 2017
We have seen this film, and think it's terrific. It is
about first contact with an alien species from
somewhere in space, with human responses that
vary from panic to curiosity. The main challenge
is learning how to communicate. Arrival was
recently nominated for 8 Academy Awards,
including Best Picture. It has a strong female
lead. Tomatoes gives it a critic's score of 94, and
a popular score of 82. A trailer is here.
Movie Night is also a potluck. Bring a side dish,
salad, drink, or movie snack to share. Carol is
fixing baked chicken for the main dish.
Arrive any time after 6 pm. Food is served at
6:20. Movie starts at around 6:45. Those who
wish can stay just for the dinner, or just for the
movie, or both. A map to Don's place is below.
