Next week, on Friday, April 15th, at the Marcus Cinema at Gurnee Mills Mall in Gurnee, Atlas Shrugged, Part One will open.

Let’s go see it together.

I recently finished reading the novel by Ayn Rand that this movie is based upon, and I think this will be an important film. We should help it be a success.

If you, like me, feel that the world is going crazy, I want you to know that someone predicted over 50 years ago much of what we’re seeing today. It is not too late to fight the trends, and I believe that this story will help us put the current problems that our state and our nation are facing into context. It will also help us understand who our opponents really are, and what they driving us towards.

The movie is opening in limited release, and the Marcus in Gurnee is one of the few theaters in Illinois that will have it.

We won’t know the showtimes until next Tuesday, but I want to pick a time close to 7:00 PM. I’ll send out another email next Tuesday to let you know which showing.

Meanwhile, for more information about the movie, visit: http://www.atlasshruggedpart1.com/.

Let’s line up our babysitters, and clear our calendars for a night at the movies. If you’re joining us, I’d love to hear from you (but come whether you get in touch or not), and please feel free to pass the word and invite your friends and neighbors to join us for this special event.

Start Time: 6:45 PM
