NO MOVIE

Since there’s no movie, how about a joke to tell all your friends Wednesday night?

Q: What do you call a dinosaur with a blindfold on?

A: An idon’tthinkhesaurus!

Pi 8 10 12

Pi is a black-and-white movie made in 1998 about God and smart, crazy people. If you merged our philosophy and CS departments, and added some power tools in there, you’d get this movie. Enter the paranoid-delusional world of Max Cohen as he attempts to figure out the equation behind the stock market, all while running through awesome cinematography and no-name but all-talent acting. It’s got the mind-bending feel of Requiem for a Dream (same director, two years later), all in grainy, contrasty black and white. This is a good movie. It’s effed up. Go see it.

V for Vendetta 10 12:30

The Wachowski brothers bring us the most revolutionary movie since The Matrix (cough cough). This movie could be really cool, but apparently after The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers decided that everyone had the IQ of a tree stump and could not possibly handle philosophical movies without having the meaning shoved down their throats. Just wait until Natalie Portman is screaming in the rain, and then, just in case you missed it, there is the scene of her master doing the same thing. Isn’t it beautiful... and obvious? Remember, remember, revolution is based on mindlessly following what looks cool. But hey, it’s a pretty okay movie.

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown 8 10 12

If you liked Ice Age, then you’ll probably like this movie. USA Today said this movie “should warm viewers’ hearts globally.” I thought I’d share that with you because it’s insanely witty. Basically if you like global warming and Al Gore’s recent thriller just didn’t get your sorry drunk ass laughing enough, or if you have a passion for cute things running from global destruction while vultures sing about eating them, then this, my friend, is the movie for you. And yes, you should feel slightly ashamed.

NO MOVIE

I know. We’re sad too. Find another way to spend your Sunday night.
