I love rock n' roll

Dearest Brattle Theatre:

You just made my day. Really. Just when I thought I'd have to endure another humdrum week of evenings spent huddled around pints at our neighborhood bar or playing trivia, whittling away the winter, you totally swooped in with another amazing idea altogether.

Not only are you hosting an 80s film fest next week — it's a rock 'n' roll 80s' film fest. Wow. I am so ready to dance in the purple rain, turn the speakers up to 11, and stop making sense with the Talking Heads. And while stalwarts like "Desperately Seeking Susan," "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Purple Rain," and "Spinal Tap," are always welcome on any marquis, you're also offering such gems as "Rock and Roll High School" (which is actually from 1979, but I digress) and "Roadie." I mean, any movie featuring Meat Loaf, Alice Cooper, and Blondie is worth its weight in cinematic gold.

I hope you don't mind if I camp out in the theater. I'm sane and have good hygiene. All I need is some Sour Patch Kids and Sean Penn. Rad!

Your #1 fan,

Courtney
XOXO
