No Movie

As it’s scheduling week, it’s about time for you to stop and make some of those complicated, life-changing decisions about why on Earth you’re at Carnegie Mellon. Should you go into psych? Or maybe bio? Bio-Psych? Psych-Bio?! Once your head has stopped spinning, and you’ve decided what you’re going to do every day for the next 45 or so years, don’t forget to plan out your course schedule on www.scheduleman.org.

Run Lola Run 8 10 12

Perhaps you’re one of those lazy people who don’t like watching foreign films. Or maybe you’ve got an awful fear of bright red hair. I don’t care: Watch Run Lola Run. It’s an awesome movie about the butterfly effect that shows what can happen if just one thing changes in a story. Actually, the story repeats three times with three different results. With all of that, there’s enough running in this movie to make you breathless (well, you would run too if you had 20 minutes to find 100,000 German marks), and you can even learn how to curse in German. How could you pass that up?

Stardust 7:30 10 12:30

It’s a fairy tale for everyone, if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings haven’t filled your appetite. There’s so much going on in this movie — it seriously has everything: magic, pirates, unicorns, witches, wizards, falling stars, and Claire Danes. If that doesn’t draw the Dungeons & Dragons kids out, I don’t know what will (maybe Sunday’s Dollar Movie).

Hairspray 7:45 10 12:15

Need some inspiration for your paper on racism? Well, you can learn all about it through song, dance, and big hair. Hairspray (the remake) is one of the coolest musicals out there, with humor, fun, a cute message, and entertaining singing and dancing. Personally, I like the 1988 version of Hairspray more, and I’m pretty sure the Broadway musical is way better, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. And, this one’s got John Travolta in a fat suit as a woman — how can you resist?

TBA 8 10 12

Get excited. If you’re tired of spending time alone in your room, come join the rest of Carnegie Mellon for a rather stimulating movie where you can do exactly the same thing you do in your room, just with more people. The burning sensation sweeping the Carnegie Mellon nation, TBA is one of our school’s most beloved (and infamous) traditions. For more information, Google “CMU, KDKA, and TBA.”
