zombieland. that’s right.

27Oct09

Intrepid theorist Emily Hallock is organizing an outing to see Zombieland.  She swears “this movie is much better than you might expect.”  And I swear it was much more of a rousing endorsement when she said it.

Details: The plan is to to catch the 7:55 viewing this Thursday (29 October) at the Century City movie theater.  We should meet around 7:30 at the theater to get tickets and decent seats.  Hope to see you there!
