18:30 (06:30 pm) - The Shape of Things to Come w/CinemaTAC

Things to Come (also known as Shape of Things to Come and in promotional material as H. G. Wells' Things to Come) is a 1936 British science fiction film produced by Alexander Korda, directed by William Cameron Menzies, and written by H. G. Wells.

H. G. Wells conceived his treatment as “a new story” meant to display the “social and political forces and possibilities” that he had outlined in his 1933 book The Shape of Things to Come, a work he considered less a novel than a “discussion” in fictional form that presented itself as the notes of a 22nd-century diplomat.

20:30-21:30 (08:30 pm) - Spirituality and Activism w/Texas Tom

Agenda: Discussion of the PBS American Experience Documentary The Gilded Age — Part II

Professor Jon will ONCE AGAIN be hosting tonight’s session and leading the discussion.

What topic could be more apropos as we find ourselves on the edge of Trump’s entering the Oval Office and we enter into a full-fledged oligarchic dictatorship? As Jon noted in my discussion with him, this history lesson will be a good reminder that our nation has been through this before. Maybe, just maybe, those of us on the side of the resistance can face this future with a little more wisdom and knowledge that will help us do our part in steering our nation back to an even brighter, more democratic and more equitable future.

Note: Because of the length of the film, this will be viewed and discussed over a two week period. Tonight’s session will be Part One.

19:00 (07:00 pm) - *Ken Adam | Master of Design w/James Y.

Ken Adam was responsible for designing the rumpus room in Goldfinger (1964) and the volcano base in You Only Live Twice (1967) - at the time, the most ambitious set in film history. Another major achievement was the supertanker set in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Aside from Bond he also came up with the set design for Dr Strangelove which Steven Spielberg called “the best set that’s ever been designed”. Oh, and he also won two Academy Awards for Best Art Direction.

We’ll watch the documentary and talk a bit about how his work has influenced my design process.
