Better late than never, here’s the information about this weekend’s OTI Movie Night meetups.
On the heels of a successful inaugural OTI Movie Night, we’re re-upping for another tour. Please join us this weekend for a series of live, in-person meetups all across the country to watch and discuss this summer’s seminal new release Battleship. Get your tickets early and find us outside the theater!
Boston

The Boston Meetup will include an EPIC BATTLESHIP TOURNAMENT featuring five authentic Battleship Board Game sets from of 1970s to early 2000s vintage. Boston Overthinkers—even if you can’t make the movie, don’t miss the post-movie meetup starting around 10pm at Clover HSQ to play a game. [facebook event]

Watch this post for more info, including the staging area and after-film meetup location (in case you just want to hang out, drink, and discuss).
Will you guys be doing any virtual meetups for Canadianites like myself, and other unfortunate Americans who can’t make the movie? I missed The Avengers virtual meetup and would like another shot at it. I rethink about it and realize you’re all seeing the movie at different times, so probably not eh?
Let’s take a poll. If you’d come to a virtual meetup on Sunday at 4pm PT / 7pm ET / 12pm BST (2300 UTC), leave a reply to this comment.
Maybe? I may have meat space plans, but it’s unclear at the moment. I also will not have seen the movie, but that’s never stopped OTI.
I would. Especially since I won’t be able to make the in-person meetup this weekend (from the podcast, I thought it sounded like this was happening next weekend – darn)
Yes, yes, yes! (Even if it seemed obvious).
I’d love to drop by but I was unable to see the movie.
OK, let’s have an online meetup. Today at 4pm PT / 7pm ET / midnight BST (2300 UTC), in the OTI Stickam Group (which is now private, so we’re not harassed by the regular Stickam crowd).

Request to join after 2300 UTC, since I won’t be there before.
I won’t be able to see Battleship this weekend (or maybe ever), so I have just one question: Does Liam Neeson, or Riggins from FNL, or Rihanna ever say “You sunk my battleship!”?
I too am dying to know this. Either way, NO SPOILERS PPL!! KTHX.
Here’s the freaky part: I’m pretty sure Liam Neeson *does* say it in The Grey.
Online Battleship, with honor code. 10×10 grid, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2.
