"Be warned, this is group is now a money making venture. I've been to several events, the organizer was nice, but then the day after one event she asked for five dollars. While I understand that members have to pay, I felt it was a bit tactless. The previous organizer, Eric charged a fee, but would periodically get things like free double features at various theaters, so the fee was understandable. This organizer, Alison is now organizing an "exclusive" meetup here http://movies.meetup .com/696/?gj=wg2_ej1 b. She said it was for those who regularly attend "all" movie meetups, besides this. I've been active on several for the past year two years but for some odd reason she declined my membership. I find this in very bad taste, considering that she charges to attend her meetup. Also I have witnessed her saying things about the weights and hygiene, of other members, behind their backs at various meetups. As a BBW myself this offended me!"
"It's a good time."
"More and more fun all the time! With our new assistant organizer, well, all I can say is watch out! You're going to have a good time!"
"They shouldnt. I ended up watching a movie alone because nobody told me anything about buying tickets at some small table."
"Will definitely attend other functions!!"

MEMBERSHIP RULES
This is one of many New York City based movie groups on meetup. Meetup events are on the small side as I like intimate conversation with members. A small $5 annual fee is required to join this group. It is NON-refundable!! However, I do not collect any fees at events so this is the only fee you will be asked to pay once a year. We see all kinds of films -- foreign, independent, Hollywood big budget, and regional films. I like everything but gory horror (supernatural thrillers are something else) and documentaries -- these are two types of films I do not schedule.
Please follow the rules so you don't lose your membership:
- A photo & profile is required to be on your profile at all times.
- This group is not for complainers -- it a place to get away from hassles and enjoy respectful and fun company. Respectful and responsible communication is expected of all group members; realize that your organizer is a VOLUNTEER and not a servant. Your $5 fee barely covers costs. It is your responsibility to research films to determine if you'd like to go to an event. Your organizer cannot guarantee you will enjoy any film scheduled (given she's not seen the film either!).
- We ask that you read each event in full to set the appropriate expectations for yourself.
- If you have RSVP "YES" to an event, please honor the group by showing up or changing it to"No" at least 2 evenings before the event. If you RSVP "Yes", don't show up and don't call, you may be removed from the group.
Its always better to say "maybe" or "No" & then show up to the event than to say "Yes" and never show. Please keep in mind that the organizer of the particular event is waiting to gather up the group at a theater, venue or even some street corner, so we ask that you give the proper courtesy.
As with most our members, if you come to just one of our events, I promise you will be back, just ask all the regulars.
