Well there is an 1984 movie, but not everyone seemed too thrilled at the prospect. (BTW: Into the Wild is not out yet 😦 sorry!)
So post what movie you would like to see this Friday, 7:30 at my house.
The end of 1984 September 20, 2007
Post provided by our own Ant:
First, one of our favorite BBC hangouts is up for an award. Or a prominent spot on a website. Or list. Or something. So everyone who loves The House of Commons (and I think that’s all of us), go to thedenverchannel.com/alist and vote. Scroll to the bottom and look for Specialty Food and Drink on the right-hand side. Click on Bakery, and then it’s at the bottom of that list. When you click on it, they ask for your email address to send you a ballot (and probably spam you, but you can opt out of “special offers”). The “ballot” was just a quick click.
Second, finish the book for the 22nd we will be meeting at Scooter Joe’s.
Not much actual book discussion this week — more “barely” than “book club”, but we still asked a few questions:
1. is “1984” as meaninful now as when it first came out?
2. briefly compared Orwell to Asimov — discussed social commentary, etc.
3. If you had read this in high school, did it merit a re-read for BBC? (consensus seems to be “not really”)
Fresh, hot scones are definitely the way to go for book club. The consensus on those was a resounding “yes”.

Once upon a time in 1984 September 11, 2007
Where were you in 1984? Perhaps traveling the world, listening to the The Cars, watching The A-team, or maybe playing with your Cabbage Patch Kid. I was probably in the later category (or perhaps eating Play-Doh). Well I’m sure you never imagined George Orwell’s 1984. But how far away are we from this future?
Anyway…read up to Book 2 Chapter 6 (half-way). And by personal request of Kelly we will be at the House of Commons, reservation under Book Club.

Movie Night? September 6, 2007
I can’t have movie night at my house this week, but if anyone would like to please post! Our next book is 1984 by George Orwell. Please read to Book 2 Chapter 6 (about half way).
If no one steps up we will meet again on the 15th.
