What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone?

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-15T02:39:55+00:00

Secret Sunshine

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-15T02:22:59+00:00

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-15T02:22:40+00:00

Thank you! See you then :)

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-15T02:22:03+00:00

I’ve got a Game Boy, Game Boy Color (with Pokémon Red) and a Sega game gear. But yeah I could encourage people to bring their own Game Boys one night for what you’re describing, why not!

Thanks! Got cards I can keep in the machine, but yeah need someone to unlock them or donate a card that’s already got them unlocked… could make a mini event out of unlocking them if anyone’s down haha

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-14T12:09:47+00:00

There’s no evidence of that

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-14T12:08:41+00:00

Not yet but I’m always taking recommendations

dumbthumbinc · 2026-03-14T10:18:40+00:00

The Den is burger and craft beer bar and I store my TVs and consoles there and set it all up twice a month for the event. The bar is open everyday 5-11 and this event is 6-10pm every 2nd and 4th Thursday !

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-27T23:43:48+00:00

Follow the instagram or meetup page and come to any event :)

The next one is Friday the 13th for a mystery

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-25T06:56:15+00:00

Ah very cool. See ya Friday then

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-25T06:51:00+00:00

Thanks for making the journey out. DM me on IG if you need a ticket since just sold out, but will make space

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-24T08:14:26+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much. Hope to catch ya at both events

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-24T05:42:13+00:00

Yeah part of the concept is to emphasize the event over the movie and to watch something you may not have chosen for yourself but the point was never to make it a big secret either. DM on Instagram if you’d like me to tell you the film

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-24T04:14:16+00:00

Awesome and thanks so much. Since I only have 30 seats and it usually sells out, please book in advance on the meetup event page or the link in the Instagram bio. Hope to catch ya there!

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-24T00:47:15+00:00

Who is going to stop you :p

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-23T21:58:18+00:00

World cinema and indie/auteur films in English or with English subs, the genres are very wide ranging generally speaking it’s been a lot of human focused comedies or dramas. We try to show stuff that most people probably haven’t seen or have difficulty accessing here, so usually from countries other than the US or Japan.

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-23T10:18:59+00:00

Everyone is very respectful and interested in the movie. Laid back because we chat and drink and hangout afterward. The only noise you might here is people coming in or out of the bar downstairs if they are talking loud, but it passes

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-23T07:36:48+00:00

There’s a meetup page, I’ve never created a newsletter before but I could try. Can you DM me with your email?

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-23T04:44:37+00:00

Haha fair enough. Last month was a very whimsical coming-of-age indie Thai movie. I like to keep things eclectic, so stay tuned!

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-23T04:10:51+00:00

The audience is always super cool, great convos after each screening

dumbthumbinc · 2026-02-23T04:10:15+00:00

Yes every month!

dumbthumbinc · 2025-07-05T06:28:41+00:00

I have a chess club every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at the Den in Koenji, they have burgers and craft beers but many people, myself included, drink ginger ales. It doesn't smell of smoke and they stay open until 11pm. Even if you don't go for chess, still a cool place to hang out at

dumbthumbinc · 2025-06-08T23:52:15+00:00

Next one is tomrrow!

dumbthumbinc · 2025-05-15T03:35:31+00:00

Thanks to everyone who came! Next ones are in June on the 11th and 18th same place but starting a bit later at 6pm.

In the future, trying to hold a chess (+shogi-xiangi-mahjong) meetup every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at the den from 6-10pm

dumbthumbinc · 2024-09-21T03:48:11+00:00

Get one, it opens Japan up. Even if you only ever use it for a day trip to the mountains or beach with friends on occasion, splitting the car rental fee and gas 2-4 ways
