Thanks for signing up for my silly little list! The purpose of this organized approach to fun is two fold: (1) I want to go see more movies in the theater more often and (2) I want to see movies with friends. You are some of my friends. Now, onto the movies!

One friend o' mine, let's call her, say, Megan, has suggested we see Everything Is Illuminated next week. I propose Thursday. Everything Is Illuminated is showing Thursday, Oct. 6, at the BAM Rose Cinemas in Brooklyn -- 30 Lafayette Avenue at Flatbush Avenue (Subway: M, N, R, W to Pacific St; Q, 1, 2, 4, 5 to Atlantic Avenue) -- at 7:10 and 9:30 p.m. I could make the 7:10, just.

Why I want to see Everything Is Illuminated:

* Jonathan Safran Zoer's book -- http://www.jonathansafranfoerbooks.com/ -- is amazing. Amazing.
* The film costars one Eugene Hutz -- http://www.bruner.net/blog/archives/015317.shtml -- frontman for the gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello and a one-time stalwart of the Burlington, Vermont, indie scene.
* The film also costars Elijah Wood, who, well, appears to be attempting to shrug off the Frodo mantle by starring in movies that, IMO, don't seem to fit him entirely well. We've got this, and then we've got Green Street Hooligans -- http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/344418p-293854c.html . Growing pains, perhaps?

So, how should this work? No real need to RSVP, I don't think. Let's just aim to meet at the theater -- lobbyish -- about 10 to 7. Bring friends, multiples, even.

You like action movies; I like romantic comedies,
Heath
