Documentary Screenings New York

Musk - Read description!

I had planned to see this documentary on my own, with ratings of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 7.3/10 on IMDB, as other members have done and were planning to do - because it is loooong and I didn't think it would be a popular pick. Then, I read this article: https://www.showbiz411.com/2026/10/23/controversial-musk-documentary-pulled-from-almost-every-one-of-472-theaters-after-one-week-by-newly-sold-bleecker-street-films I know that Musk exercised all his influence to ensure that trailers were never released and TikTok refused to allow an account to be created for the film. While some will say it was pulled from theaters because it performed poorly, there are others who think it was simply shut down, which is what Musk always wanted. It may never come to streaming as planned either. So, seeing it at an independent theater like The Claridge (or the Angelika in NYC) may be our only chance to see it. And that's why I'm posting it. THEATER: We will see the 12:45pm show at The Claridge. For those new to the group, we purchase our tickets on our own and meet afterwards right outside the auditorium where we saw the film. If that space is too tight, we meet in the lobby. The Claridge is general admission so there are no seat numbers to post. If folks want to save seats for each other that's fine but I did that all weekend at the MFF so I am not volunteering for that job! You can get your tickets here: https://www.montclairfilm.org/cinemas/venues/the-clairidge/ DISCUSSION: Venue is TBD pending RSVPs, but I can promise that it will be wonderful! We will enjoy a great meal and we will deserve it! Here's more about the film: ***Musk*** is a 2026 [documentary film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentary_film "Documentary film") directed by [Alex Gibney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Gibney "Alex Gibney"). It follows the billionaire businessman [Elon Musk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk "Elon Musk"), and his enormous influence in contemporary [right-wing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_populism "Right-wing populism") politics. The film had its world premiere out of competition at the [83rd Venice International Film Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/83rd_Venice_International_Film_Festival "83rd Venice International Film Festival") on September 8, 2026.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_(film)#cite_note-labiennale-20260907-4) It was released theatrically in the United States by [Bleecker Street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleecker_Street_(company) "Bleecker Street (company)") on October 9, 2026. RUN TIME: 3hr 52minutes with an intermission OUR NO SHOW POLICY: • If you RSVP and your plans then change, we ask that you notify us and change your RSVP as soon as possible - definitely before the start of the event. It's unfair for the group to wait around after the film for people who do not show up. And it fouls up reservations made at the restaurants we visit. NO SHOWS WILL NOW BE WARNED ONCE AND REMOVED FROM THE GROUP AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. We keep a list of no-shows - please change your RSVP prior to the start of the event so you don't end up on it! Thank you for your consideration.

When you RSVP you are accepting these terms upon yourself and your guests (if any). I hereby waive, release, and discharge the Meetup Group and its officers, leaders, volunteers, employees, organizers, sponsors, members, and participants from any claims for personal injury, property damage, or death resulting from my participation in any of this group’s events.

Friendship Comedy Night

**###PLEASE NOTE: Even if you RSVP on Meetup, you will need to grab a ticket here https://www.skipthesmalltalk.com/store/friendship-comedy-night-at-flop-house-comedy-club-east-village-thursday-october-29-2026 in order to attend###** This event is cross-posted so Meetup RSVPs won't accurately reflect the actual number of attendees; typically there are around 30-40 people in attendance. Folks in this Meetup group get **10% off**! Use code: **MEETUP** at checkout. **Schedule:** **6:45 pm** - 7:00 pm: **Check-in** **7:00 pm** - 8:00 pm: **Friendship Comedy Show** **8:00 pm** - 10:00 pm: **Meet new friends, with actually-good questions** (hosted by Skip the Small Talk) **What's It Like?** We've all heard that making friends in NYC is hard, loneliness is an epidemic, and the internet is making us all forget how to be humans. Now, hear professional comedians complain about it! And after the comedy show, you'll get to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it and talk to other human beings! We'll warm things up with a 45-ish-minute-long comedy show about all things friendship. The highs, the lows, and the delicious jelly-filled middles. Mmmmmm. Then, we'll actually get to meet each other! We're bringing in Skip the Small Talk for a 2ish-hour-long event where we'll pair you up with strangers and have you switch off partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating). We'll have a fabulous host leading the whole shebang so it won't be awkward, and we'll give you question cards to guide conversation just a few notches deeper than you'd usually go so you don't accidentally talk about what you do for work six times in a row. Feel free to come alone (most people do-- we promise we won't make it weird for you) or bring a friend! There will be drink for sale! **There is a 1 drink minimum for this event** , so please keep that in mind. **Check-in** for this event will begin around **6:45 pm**. Please do your best to arrive before 7:00 pm so we can begin as close to on time as possible. Please be sure to bring your government-issued ID, as this venue is 21+.
