Movie Night, Secularism, Gaming
Mar. 2nd, 2016 10:44 pmMonday night was at The Astor Theatre to see the John Carpenter double, Escape from New York, and The Fog. The former I had not seen since it came out (1981) and the latter I had not seen at all. The films were pretty cheesy, but very good cheese at that. Quite glad that I decided to go - I also had the opportunity to introduce myself to the new theatre cat, Duke. I do like visiting the Astor with its beautiful deco features and propensity for classic and arthouse films, and its very inexpensive as well. Tempted to see their upcoming vampire double that's coming up.
On Tuesday went to the first meeting of the year of the University of Melbourne Secular Society and have followed up with a media release from the Victorian Secular Lobby on the rather silly idea that MPs should register their religious affiliation. The Lobby is planning on having its AGM at Parliament House in mid-April with Maree Edwards, the state member for Bendigo West to discuss the politics of the Bendigo Mosque.
Sunday was a game of the classic and original Cosmic Encounter from the 1970s; a very simple game to pick up but with some rather subtle strategies. Afterwards we did a playest of Nic Moll's (of Owlman Press new superhero game, Verge. It needs work, but has a good core feature of having the characters with a strong relationship with each other. In addition, my review of Libris Mortis has been republished on rpg.net.
