fanatic (fan-addict)

There are so many movies to be excited about for the fall -
"Ira & Abby" - because Kissing Jessica Stein was awesome
"Dan In the Real World" - because who doesn't love Steve Carrell, and even better, when he plays someone with real soul. (kinda like Adam Sandler; sure he's great just being funny, but he's even better when he's funny and real, a la "Spanglish" or "Reign Over Me"
"My Kid Could Paint That" - because you know you've wondered the same thing about abstract art and the movie just looks like it could spark such a great discussion after you've watched it.
"Lars and the Real Girl" - because Ryan Gosling is a actor/genius, thee actor of his generation, and the whole ensemble cast looks equally compelling, maybe even including and because of the blow-up doll
Even a little excited about "Resurrecting the Champ" - despite it's based-on-a-true-story - and - you -can -predict-how -it's- gonna -end - from -the -trailer feel, sometimes, those movies are just plain enjoyable.

Granted, I may be going to some of these movies alone this fall. But I'm living so far North that I'm not even sure if some of these will get to a theatre near me, and who knows what the future will bring. Plus, if they are as good as they look, going it alone doesn't matter.
