clarklk Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) I didn't see a Minneapolis/St. Paul local chapter. There must be lots of people in the Twin Cities area that are big classic movie fans. Let's get together and create a new local chapter for the area, if there isn't already.

clarklk Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 We need five people to make an official local chapter of TCM Backlot. Hopefully others here in the Twin Cities will step up and show interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessica101559 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Ok thanks for the info! I’ll try to be there. Hopefully, there’ll be more people who may be interested in creating a Mpls/st Paul chapter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MpLNls Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I can't make the screening this month, but the last few (Casablanca, Princess Bride) been better attended. The 2018 big screen series looks great too! I hope we can bring a Mpls/St Paul chapter to life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarklk Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I went to the showing of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" yesterday afternoon, at 2pm. I hadn't seen the movie for many years and was surprised to see it's aged very well. It was quite a very good movie. I was only a bit disappointed there weren't more people there. I believe Sunday afternoons a lot of people like to watch football games, so I'm guessing that's partly why the turnout was low. I really liked the TCM presentation of the movie. Tiffany Vazquez did her standard wonderful job with the introduction of the movie, as well as the follow-up at the end. I'm looking forward to next month's big screen classic! Hopefully by then we'll have enough people to form an official Twin Cities TCM Backlot local chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
