Out @ In The Loop

Q: Where will you be on November 9th?

A: In The Loop

Our first movie outing for November will be to see Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative's Monday Night Movies' presentation of the hit indie British comedy In The Loop.

What's it all about?

"The film tracks the lies, misunderstandings, good and bad intel, and PR blunders that escalate into a full-blown (fictional) crisis in the Middle East over the course of a few days, in a few conversations and meetings, in a few corridors of British and American power. Though played for laughs, the movie demonstrates how the most incidental factors (leaked papers, hastily spoken soundbites) and players (aides, interns, and low-level government officials) can influence the course of history. "

If that description didn't help, take a look at the trailer:

Why see it? Because it's going to be hilarious! And that's practically fact: it has a 95% approval rating on RottenTomatoes! With comments like those of Lou Lumenick from the New York Post ("In the Loop is certainly the smartest and funniest movie inspired by the Iraq war."), you know you're curious!

You can sort of find out more at the movie's official site http://www.intheloopmovie.co.uk/ but you might be better off with the IMDB page.

THE PLAN:

We'll meet on Monday, November 9th for 6:30 when we'll head in to grab seats before the movie starts at 7. We'll meet by the tables in front of the arcade. In honour of the British/American theme, why not dress in red, white and blue? I'll wear my typical orange ballcap of course.

Tickets are $10 and are available for purchase starting at 6 that night.

After the movie, we'll head out to the Second Cup for some post-movie discussion and drinks!
