Ever get irritated when someone talks during the movie? Then this is NOT the group for you. Although Mystery Science Theater has not been on cable tv for years, it retains a cult following.

If you’re like me, you are a single/divorced/or widowed, professional 40+ woman who works 40+ hours during the week and has little time (or energy for that matter) to develop friendships with other woman. I try to plan outings on the weekends – shopping, movies, hikes, festivals, Sunday coffee etc., and while I enjoy my own company it would be nice to share the experience(s) with a friend or two. So, I thought that creating “Weekend Friends” would be a great idea for women like me living in the …

Very rarely we will venture outside Marin and go to a specialty cinema in the East Bay, Sa …

"I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see." — Dziga Vertov This is a group dedicated to providing a space for other Bay area documentary lovers to meet, see, and discuss rare, hard to access documentary films.
