As discussed during the meetings, we are planning to have a movie outing to catch the long awaited Eva movie Evangelion: 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance.
There is a Facebook group that's planning to go on the 14th of Nov, a Saturday, at 7.30. Their aim is to fill up the whole theater (and they might just do it). Anyway, long story short, the person in charge of it is a friend of mine, and he will be able to get us tickets for the movie. Each ticket cost $10 and you can mingle with a huge crowd of like-minded people. You might even see a few "famous" or familiar faces among the local blogging scene or otaku crowd.
The other option is to not join them, but instead have our own outing the following day, on the 15th, a Sunday. Timing for this is unconfirmed (because I didn't check it out yet) and so are the prices.
If you would like to join me to watch the Eva 2.0, just post in the thread or email me at alvinchua383[AT]msn[dot]com. Also, please tell me by Monday, the 9th of Nov, because I have to get back to that friend of mine. Many thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Going (14th Nov):
1) Stifler
Going (15th Nov) 5.10 pm Time slot.
1) mazatsushi
2) Gestaltgeek
3) Myself
4) Kamikaizer
5) No one else?

kukuku~
i'm ok with either day though, can bring my sis along? hehe...
i also think that going with others on the 14th might be an interesting experience...(feel the power of the zettai ryouiki[AT-Field] that a bunch of otakus exude...)
oh no...i dun have an eva shirt...
(need to draw more eva stuff...should i draw mari?)
btw for those who don't know...there is new character added into this movie. Mari 'Illustrious' Makinami. i have no idea how in the world they came up with 'illustrious in her name...though she does have a meganeko look and does look like a lot of other...art-oriented...characters...
She'll be voiced by Sakamoto Maaya who has done quite a wide range of character types so her voice might not be as easily recognisable as some others. Would be interesting to see which one she uses for Mari...prob the confident-school-news-reporter type...

Either day is fine with me, but if our club guys prefer to go Sunday, I'd rather go as a club.

oh no...i'm like...4 month outdated...
just downloaded a briefly watched...Evangelion 2.0...with subs...(filmed off a vidcam in the cinema...) the sounds is decent enough to hear, and the screen is a bit off centre thats all but if u play it full screen u can hardly notice...)
IT'S...EPIC!!! A MUST WATCH! IF ANY OF U HAVE ANY DOUBTS ON WATCHING IT, GIVE IT UP NOW~~~
Need to put restraints on myself to hold back from saying any spoilers...but i'll try to limit what i say to very brief ones.
If u really hate spoilers of anykind whatsoever, turn back now~~
*spoilers?*
1- Asuka, Mari and the new EVA make there appearance (ok nothing new)
2- Some of the foreign characters speak in english in some scenes
3- Bringing the series up to date, there are some moe-ish elements added in
4- The test-plug-suit that was mentioned in the radio drama and real-ised, is actually an official design O_O i thought it was fan made, and yes it does make an appearance
5- Like Eva 1.0, a lot of events are shuffled ard and modified so that the story flows better. They really did an overhaul in 2.0, very very extreme overhaul...for the better! taking out boring story arc and twisting it so that it ups the tension lvl
6- Like the last angel in 1.0, a lot of the Angels now have this sort of morphable ability to them
7- A lot of the characters have more...personality in them than in the original series (Rei and Shinji included)
8- All the Evas become more epic, Unit-01 goes from epic to GODLY
9- Side effect is that shinji isn't quite so much a boring character anymore
10- They got all the EVAs to move more naturally now so the battles are more lively
11- There is a trailer for EVA 3.0 : Quickening , so be sure to stay till the end
12- It seems they have scrapped those white mass production series EVAs (UNIT 05-13) as Nagisa Kaoru appears at the end in his UNIT-08
This is considered...minimal amt without spoilers?
Can i also recommend screening Evangelion 1.0 for the next meeting to refresh ppl minds? (I've got the DVD but i'm sure some of u also have it)

The good seats for the opening Saturday have more or less been snapped up by our friends over at the Facebook group. If we are dead set on getting the best seats in the house (I am), then Sunday would be a much safer bet.

Nope, there's no meeting next week, officially at least.
Some of our ex-VAS seniors are interested in joining in if it's on Sunday. Let's try to confirm the timing and I'll try to confirm the number of people interested on this end

Okay, so I take it that most people would rather watch on Sunday?
Kage, you want to watch on Sat? Cuz I'm going on Sat. I can also join the Sunday one too.

Well, the timings aren't out in Cathay's site yet, but perhaps can we confirm a rough timing and who's going. I for one would like to go, as would two to three other seniors.

Best seats in the house for this Sunday. Blame the Facebook group for taking those seats away, and I'm also curious to find out what kind of colourful people our ex-senior members were
