The Harding University Film Club enjoys getting together to watch a movie every Monday night. Recently, they had an event that was a little out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steven Spielberg\u2019s classic film \u201cJaws\u201d was released nearly 50 years ago, but on Sept.5, the movie came back to theaters for a limited-time, 3D showing. The film club made the trip to Conway, Arkansas, to see the movie, and club Vice President Meleri York came away extremely impressed by the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe cinematic experience is just completely different there than anywhere else,\u201d York said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen it before, but in the theaters with the surround sound and 3D, it\u2019s totally different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Charles Bane, the club\u2019s sponsor and an associate professor of communication, said he\u2019s always loved \u201cJaws\u201d <\/em>and both he and the club members were extremely excited about this opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Jaws\u2019 had actually been our chosen film for the week, and then we found out it was coming to theaters,\u201d Bane said. \u201cI emailed the club, and everyone said they were great with going to see it in theaters, so we did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone was excited about the 3D and the chance to see the movie on the big screen, but\u00a0 junior Kendall Moshinsky said there was another unexpected factor that made the experience even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI had seen the movie once before, but I watched it on my computer,\u201d Moshinsky said. \u201cDr. Bane said this, and it really is true \u2014 you notice a lot of things you normally wouldn\u2019t when you watch a movie in theaters on the bigger screen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cJaws\u201d trip was a big event for the film club, but it certainly wasn\u2019t the only thing they\u2019ve done this year. Bane elaborated on the club\u2019s schedule and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe get together once a week, usually on Mondays, and watch films,\u201d Bane said. \u201cWe chat about them a little bit, but it\u2019s essentially just about film lovers getting together to watch films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a different movie every Monday, longtime members of the club have certainly been to a lot of events. However, York remembered one specific event when asked about her favorite film club memory. She mentioned a time when most of the club\u2019s members couldn\u2019t make it, and so they had a very small group to watch, in her words, \u201csome weird samurai movie.\u201d She said the movie wasn\u2019t particularly memorable, but she enjoyed the intimacy of that small-group environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, Bane mentioned an event that was a little more popular when asked about his favorite memory. He said that last Valentine\u2019s Day, the film club showed a romance movie, and over 60 people showed up. This event definitely had a bigger group than York\u2019s favorite event, but both she and Bane were both very enthusiastic when talking about their own specific memories. It just goes to show that there\u2019s a little something for everyone in the film club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written by Carter Thweatt \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Harding University Film Club enjoys getting together to watch a movie every Monday night.
