It's every-other-week again! Tonight's theme is robots, and, secondarily, things breaking (usually robots.) I for one am quite excited, as I consider myself a staunch robot-enthusiast.
The bill includes the recent sci-fi/sports feature Real Steel, and the 1993 Raygun Gothic mech-romp Robot Wars.
Buchanan B215 at 5:30pm. See you there.

Movie Night: Pirates vs. Ninjas
We're back for 2012! And this Friday, movie nights resume as usual. This weeks theme: Pirates vs. Ninjas, in honor of dated memes everywhere.
Representing pirates is Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl - the first one, from when the franchise retained some measure of adventuresome charm - and representing ninjas is Ninja Assassin, which is exactly what it says on the tin and all the better for it.
See you at 5pm in Buchanan B213.

Movie Night: Christmas Roulette
It's finally over. The midterms, papers, and projects of November have run their grisly course, like the ravages of some terrible academic disease. And to celebrate: a final movie night to end both the week and the term.
This Friday's theme is horrendous Christmas movies, and horrendous movies in general. The first film of the night is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, and the second is to be decided by an insidious device that Hunter refers to as his "Christmas Roulette." This contraption will select at random one of the many films that are too terrible for us to propose for viewing without deferring responsibility to the impartial hand of random chance. The candidates include such gems as The Room, Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus, Dungeons & Dragons, Samurai Cop, and The Star Wars Holiday Special. God help us all.
Time and place are 5:30pm and Buchanan B213, respectively.

Movie Night: Supernatural Teen Drama
It's another of those bi-weekly Friday nights, and this time the theme is "horror icons hijacked by teen drama." Get yourself to Buchanan B213 at 5:30pm for the infamous Twilight and it's precursor from the mid-nineties, The Craft. A teenage girl empowerment fantasy and a teenage girl disempowerment fantasy! How the times change. Anticipate even more jeering and unsolicited uproarious laughter than usual.

Movie Night: Fighting Game Adaptations
Here's to all of you who made last week's Hallowe'en party a massive success! We had a broad range of costumes and a lot of fun with bossy, VHS-based board games.
To keep the momentum going, movie night has been moved up to this Friday! The theme: adaptations of fighting games - Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I will let those trailers speak for themselves.
The time and place are, as ever, Buchanan B213 and 5pm, irrespectively.

Hallowe'en 2011
Alright, we've finally hammered out all the details for the SFS/Wargamers 2011 Hallowe'en Party! The time and place: this Friday, 5pm, in Buchanan B213. Costumes encouraged.
Centerpiece events planned for the evening include the viewing of an APPROPRIATELY HALLOWE'EN-FLAVORED MOVIE , Hocus Pocus; the initiation of Lucie's BAD FANFICTION READING CIRCLE (to which all are invited to bring their own samples of foul internet literature for dramatic rendition); a rousing GAME OF MAFIA REIMAGINED FOR THE CTHULHU MYTHOS; and no small amount of FESTIVE CUPCAKE DECORATION.
And as if that is not enough, there will also be the Wargamers' endless variety of board- and card-games to keep you entertained.
And if, for emphasis, I may repeat: costumes encouraged! There will be prizes. And candy. It is, after all, Hallowe'en.
I'll see you all there! (Though considering my choice of costume, maybe you won't.)

Movie Night: Michael Crichton
Hello again, dear reader.
This Friday marks the first full-scale, double-feature SFS movie night of the year! The theme for this week is movies based on books by Michael Chrichton - Jurrassic Park and Timeline. The first one lures you in, the second moves in from the side, knocks you to the ground, and slices open your belly with its six-inch retractable claw.
The time and place are Buchanan B213 and 5:30pm, irrespectively.
Also, I imagine that many of you new members are wondering where the SFS clubroom is - it's not really written down anywhere, and even then it's hard to find. So here are some step-by-step directions:
The SFS clubroom is on the first floor of the Student Union Building, but can't be reached by going in through the main entrances. Instead, approach the Student Union Building on the side that faces the bus loop; to the right of the cafeteria you'll find a glass entrance leading to the Sexual Assault Center. Go in there and take a right down the hallway. The clubroom is the first room on the right.
