So apparently only one person showed up yesterday, and i have to run the projector, so if anyone wants a ride to LU to watch this let me know.

Ariel (1988)

The movie tells the story of Taisto Kasurinen, a finnish coal miner whose father has just committed suicide and who is framed for a crime he did not commit. In jail, he starts to dream about leaving the country and starting a new life. He escapes from prison but things don't go as planned...

I haven't seen this movie, but it's supposed to be really good. Everyone on IMDB seems to be blowing a load over it.

I'd like to thank Dave Ramsay, that mysterious Indian guy, and the other guy who showed up on monday for being the only people who came out.

This Marx Break was a HUGE success!
