A special family friendly screening of fantasy film ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, part of our new ‘Kids Flicks’ series at the Beecroft Cinema Club.
“This is Berk. It’s 12 days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. It’s been here for 7 generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunset. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have—dragons!”
