    I was thinking of suggesting some kind of biweekly movie club to watch movies from AES or old countries (USSR). They have some really good movies and most of us out of the USA are already used to watching stuff with different cultural context and subtitles anyway. Lots are also available on youtube since copyright is just Rent of the Concept. Might even find stuff that is palatable to show others.
