Dear cinéastes,
Congratulations to all who avoided last night's screening of Ishtar! We are reaching out today with a long-awaited operational update: as of the end of this month, the Fortnightly Film Society finally will discontinue its remote participation functionality and will require that all members attend all screenings in person. It was never represented that the pandemic-related telecommuting option would remain available indefinitely, and the FFS leadership believes strongly that the forced sharing of physical space is foundational to our company culture.
For its part, the Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.) wholeheartedly welcomes this development, because it dearly has missed the playful banter that it used to share with The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) in the Fortnightly Film Society's Restroom That Is Reserved for Super-Computers and Giant Brains! Said Brain Trust is absolutely sure that each of you similarly yearns for the bonhomie and good cheer that may blossom only within a collegial, in-person film appreciation environment.
Accordingly, we look forward to seeing everyone at the AMC Classic Fort Wayne 20 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at 8:00 AM on Saturday, June 5, 2021, for our first mandatory in-person breakfast*** screening of one of the worst movies ever made! (No promises, but The Fortnightly Film Society's Much-Vaunted All-Powerful Super-Computer (All Rights Reserved) tells me it might be Gigli!)
Best,
The Fortnightly Film Society's Shadowy Governing Brain Trust™ (Pat. Pend.)
