FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2020 41 Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. As of this writing, we continue to be unable to have our Cinema Club screenings because attendance in our movie theater is currently limited to a maximum of five people. When we are able to resume, we will catch up on the films that have been previously scheduled. Normally, our screenings are the second and fourth Sunday evenings of each month at 6:00 pm in The Lodge theater. We typically screen smaller films, foreign films, indie films and documentaries. I've started a Cinema Club mailing list so I can update everyone with the latest information on the status of the Cinema Club during the pandemic. If you want to get on the mailing list, send me an email at michelesrosen@gmail.com. Don't forget the "s"! Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions about the Counter Culture Cinema Club or want to recommend a film, please email me at michelesrosen@gmail.com. ~ Micki Rosen Counter Culture Cinema Club Classic Film Group The Tuesday Classic Film Group is meeting at The Lodge Theater on Nov. 10 and 24 at 10 am, 2 pm and 5:30 pm. As of this writing, The Lodge Theater is now open. We will be getting back together for our classic movie discussions about the directors that changed cinema. This month we will be showing the film that changed the U.S government. In 1964, the Cuban Missile Crisis was fresh in the minds of Americans, the Cold War was at its frostiest, and the hydrogen bomb was relatively new and frightening. Director Stanley Kubrick dared to make a film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button - and he played the situation for laughs. Director Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (war, comedy) starring Peter Sellers Tagline: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Plot: An insane U.S. Air Force general (General Jack Ripper) triggers a path to nuclear holocaust that a War Room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop. General Jack Ripper goes completely insane and sends his B-52 bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. without informing his superiors. He thinks that the communists are conspiring to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of the American people. Unbeknownst to Ripper, his attack will trigger the Russian's ultimate weapon, the Doomsday Machine, a diabolical retaliatory device set to blow up the planet. Even though everyone hates to pass judgment before all the facts are in, it's beginning to look like General Ripper has exceeded his authority. See you at the movie, I hope.
