Lazy Eye Movie Club

A bird in the hand is worth every cloud

MEETING REPORT: Thanks to the membership for another acceptable turnout at this past weekend's screening of Blade Runner. A Special Appreciation Award goes to Member Emma S. for her origami craftiness. (Post will be updated later with a picture of the origami.)

The membership appeared to be sufficiently entertained by Blade Runner. The majority of the membership seemed to agree that Deckard was a replicant, though the following questions were raised: Couldn't anyone be a replicant? Doesn't the movie suggest that the boundaries between replicant and human are blurred? What does it mean to exist? The membership decided that the answer to all of these questions was probably yes.

The membership then proceeded to participate in a "vote," in which the membership was granted the illusion of exercising their will to "choose" Waltz with Bashir for the next screening, and Westerns for the group's next theme -- both of these being the Secretary's suggestions. (Membership's losing ballots to be posted later.)

Concerns were voiced about the long intervals between meetings. The Secretary noted the membership's concerns and assured the membership that the next meeting would be held as soon as he felt like it.

- THE SECRETARY

ADDENDUM: The report failed to mention that Member George R. won the Science Fiction quiz administered before the movie. Member Paul H. placed second. Congratulations to them.
