Movie Nights at Melville Keep?

I was thinking of hosting a weekly movie night at Melville Keep for Wednesdays over the summer, starting next week. Probably order food around 7:30 or so, maybe show a short subject, and start whatever movie at 8:00 sharp, so as to let folks get home at a decent hour. Would people be interested?

Initial entries are likely to include Sneakers and Sin City. If this works out, gyzki might bring over The Ballad of Cat Ballou for another try :-)

Dentistry thoughts

So yesterday, kestrell and I went to the dentist. It was the first time either of us had been in literally decades. We each have some cavities and wisdom teeth that 'need' dealing with, so we'll going back for a consult on Friday, and for the actual work at the end of the month. Bleagh.

I gotta say, dentistry as a basic concept is a hard sell for me. In order to prevent some unknown amount of future mouth pain, I voluntarily sign up for a system where, every six months they (at minimum) torture my entire mouth so that it hurts for the next 24 hours. Plus maybe more advanced torture to put in fillings and such. I'm pretty sure that I don't generally have that much mouth pain in a year *without* dentistry. Kes points out, correctly, that there is a marginal benefit in being able to *schedule* trauma, as opposed to having it be on an emergency basis. But it's pretty darn marginal. I doubt I'd do it if I was paying for it directly, rather than through insurance.

Movie Nights, take two

(My first poll. Hope I'm doing it right...)

So, I've just acquired a regular Wednesday evening meeting at work, which makes getting home in time to start a movie night problematic. So what other nights would people be interested in? Feel free to comment as well.[Poll #1019722]
