clarklk Posted March 21, 2018 Misfits! Twin Cities Misfits! I like that too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MpLNls Posted March 21, 2018 Twin Cities Misfits it is! Clark, if you want to email me your email address (see my post from yesterday), I can submit our group. My understanding of the form is that I need to submit information for 5 people to establish the group, rather than have each of us send it individually.

MpLNls Posted March 22, 2018 Yay! I just submitted the form for Twin Cities Misfits chapter! The auto response sent said they'd get back with more info soon. That line up at the Trylon sounds awesome. I doubt I'll be able to make it on 4/2, but I'd love to see The Barefoot Contessa on the big screen. I've meant to watch it for a long time. I watched the Killers as part of Summer of Noir and it was great. So many movies, so little time ;-) 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clarklk Posted April 13, 2018 Hello Twin City Misfits! (TCM Backlot Classic Film Fans); How was the "Grease" showing this past Sunday? I hope everyone had a good time and enjoyed the picture. I messed up and didn't make it to the theater to see it with the rest of the group... It's going to be showing again this coming Saturday at our theater, EMAGINE WILLOW CREEK, 9900 Shelard Pkwy, Plymouth, 2pm. If anyone else from the group goes also, please say hello. I'll be wearing my TCM shirt. - Clark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCMary96 Posted April 13, 2018 Hi Clark, I went to the designated TCMisfits theater, Emagine Willow Creek theater. I saw Ellen, but as we waited no one else showed. Possibly the snow kept some of us away. I did not stay for the movie, I was just there to meet some new faces and to see how the FREE tickets work. All in all, it was great to chit chat with Ellen again, and I can't wait to meet you and more of our TCMisfits, at the Emagine Willow Creek theater, in May for the showing of SUNSET BLVD. Have a GREAT weekend! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clarklk Posted April 15, 2018 Hello TCMisfits! I wanted to remind everyone that one week from today, Sunday April 22, Trylon Cinema will be showing "The Great Sinner", at 3pm. It's part of Trylon's Ava Gardner series, and also stars Gregory Peck and Melvyn Douglas. I don't recall ever seeing it, or even hearing of it, but I'm hoping I get a chance to see it at the Trylon next Sunday. Be careful in the snowl!! - Clark 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCMary96 Posted April 15, 2018 I have not heard of this movie either. My daughter says she watched it in her Film Studies II class. Sounds like a good movie. I will TRY to be there. Either way I will let you know by Friday Having too much fun in the 5ft snow drifts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCMary96 Posted April 22, 2018 Hi Clark, sorry to say I will be unable to attend "The Great Sinner" with you today. If you do see the movie please let us know how it went. Have a GREAT TIME! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MpLNls Posted May 1, 2018 Did anyone meet up at Trylon? If so let us know! I just got back from the TCM Film Festival. Lotsa movies and panel discussions! It was such a good time. 13 movies in 3 days. To get a taste, you can watch a bunch of the panel discussions from previous years on the backlot website under the TCM Festival and Cruise drop down. I don't know when this year's discussions will be there, but I hope to catch a lot of what I missed online! One very generous fan from Portland(?) printed out public domain movie posters as postcards to share with other fans at the festival. He was kind enough to give me a stack of them to share with our chapter. I'll bring them on the 13th for Sunset Blvd!!! We have another 5 members who want to join our chapter. Yay! Can't wait to get together! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clarklk Posted May 2, 2018 I went to the Trylon on Sunday the 22nd, to see "The Great Sinner", with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. I didn't see anyone else there from our chapter. I thought it was a pretty good movie, I'm glad I'd gotten a chance to see it. This coming Sunday, May 6, the Trylon is showing "Irma La Douce" at 3pm, and "Some Like It Hot" at 6pm.
