Free Movie Night! Hits : 553
Friday, May 15, 2020, 07:00pm - 10:00pm
Location : A Netflix Party on your Chrome Browser. Get the extension at https://www.netflixparty.com/.
Twice a month, Reason Center (RC) and AOF treat you to a Free Movie under an excellent MPLC License (basically, a show-movies-for-free license). Alas, due to the COVID-19 chaos, Reason Center is closed tight as a drum. So the resourceful program committee will present the next few movies as online events, using the "Netflix Watch Party" application.
How does it work? It needs a Netflix account + the Google Chrome browser. If you don't have them, we apologize. Please be patient until RC can open its doors. Else, here's how to join us:
- Open your Chrome web browser right now and install the Netflix Party Extension. Get it at https://www.netflixparty.com/. (Really, do it now. Don't wait till movie night.)
- Just before show time, fire up the Chrome browser again and click the following link:
https://www.netflix.com/title/70097577?npServerId=s101&npSessionId=207d2a1375386f04 - The Netflix Movie Party page will open. Log into Netflix (if not logged in already). At the top right of the browser frame, see a small circle with the letters NP in red. It is not easy to see, so look very closely. You may need to click on the "NP".
- The Netflix movie party should begin. You'll be watching it along with the rest of us. As it plays we can chat on the side of the screen and make silly, snarkey comments.
What movie is it? We can't say. But it hit the big screen in 2008, and is about a superhero whose ill-behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when the person he saves helps him improve his public image.
Free Movie Night is especially for Reason Center members, but non-members are welcome too. RC may beg a small (voluntary) donation to cover costs. How can you become a Reason Center member? Sign up at http://reasoncenter.com/donate/. Membership is a measly $5 a month, is tax deductible if you itemize, and the perks (like this one) just keep coming.
Contact : Email "programs (at) aofonline.org" or contact Reason Center (https://reasoncenter.org/).
Free Movie Nights generally occur two Friday evenings each month. Best, you can suggest your own fave film for next time.
