MOVIES: This weekend you can catch Where the Wild Things Are, the new film by director Spike Jonze of Maurice Sendak's childhood classic, at the Pavilion.

The Informant there or at BAM Rose Cinema, where it's playing with Bright Star (Dir. Jane Campion), Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story and Coco Before Chanel with Audrey Tatou.

THEATER: At the Brooklyn Lyceum: Rocky Horror Picture Show but not the movie. It's LIVE at 9:30 on Saturday night. Fourth Avenue at President Street. But just like the movie, the producers urge you to dress up and come ready for RHPS-style audience participation. 

BOOK SWAP: The Cobble Hill Association is sponsoring a free Book Swap on
Saturday, October 17, 2009 at the Long Island College Hospital (LICH)
Sitting Park located at Henry and Pacific Streets in Cobble Hill, from
11 AM until 3 PM.

The idea for the Book Swap is simple: bring a book and get a
book. LICH staff members will also be on hand to meet the community
and will conduct free blood pressure screening and an asthma
information table at the park. Books will also be available for sale
at $1 or less. All proceeds and remainder books will be donated to the
Hospital by the Cobble Hill Association.

This low-key, neighborly event is the perfect time to meet
neighbors and support our local hospital, too. In case of rain, the
Book Swap will be held at the same time and place the following
Saturday, October 24th.


COMEDY:
Jason West & Dykes on Mics event on Sunday at 7pm at Ginger's Bar, 353 5th Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets.
