SUMMARY:FILM NIGHT - Lars von Trier's Melancholia
DESCRIPTION:Those into seeing a Science Fiction film at the Arthouse end of
  the spectrum are invited to see Lars Von Trier's Melancholia.\n\nThe plan
  is to have gastronomic experience together then watch this noncey Arthous
 e Science Fiction film\, pontificate endlessly as to the inner rages of th
 e directors troubled psyche and maybe even debate the hidden meta-textures
  implicit in his vertiginous celluloid work.\n\nThe rest of us can have di
 nner\, watch a film and go down the pub afterwards.\n\nDinner\n\nVery clos
 e to the Polka Theatre is the family owned Thai restaurant [ Chang Thai (h
 ttp://www.changthai.co.uk/)]\, where the husband and wife team of Jitsada 
 and Sandy have quietly been raising their new family and making a name for
  themselves producing what is arguably the best Thai food in the area. Yum
 !\n\nPlease note: The £5 RSVP charge is a deposit for your restaurant pla
 ce. Please add an additional £5 for each guest you plan to bring along. A
 s its a family owned restaurant & as we don't want to mess them around\; s
 o unless arranged with the management of the restaurant and the organiser\
 , the bill for food will be evenly split between all those attending. And 
 to avoid WineMonsters© inflating to the bill\, members can get their own 
 drinks.\n\nFilm\n\nPLEASE NOTE\nthis film maker has a reputation for produ
 cing difficult\, emotionally damaging and challenging to watch films. Your
  Glorious Leader ® takes no responsibility for any emotional trauma you m
 ay suffer.\n\nhttp://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTPxIYYpAhAgTRPmGLXS
