i'm not saying it to be confrontational, it's a genuine question! i hate living around nazis and i just don't know what the hell i can do to help get rid of them.

Portland is weird because it didn’t sprawl like most American metros did, so white flight was only a difference of like 5 miles away or across the river into Washington State. You can bike it.
So the kicker here is that the suburban/exurban fashy supporter crowd is a lot close to the city types they all hate, rather than like an hour away as it plenty of other metros

This footage from 1917 of PDX is pretty neat:

huh the soundtrack is kinda neat... I googled it and it's this guy I never heard of but he seems to be the Steve Keene of classical royalty free soundtracks!

Anybody attending the OMSI SF filmfest? We saw “Edge of Tomorrow” yesterday, and damn if that ain’t a great film with some unfortunately dated shaky-cam footage
https://omsi.edu/exhibits/sci-fi-film-fest/
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Monday, 15 April 2024 05:43 (two months ago) link
That sounds pretty cool! IDK, I might see if I can do the Sunday showing of _Stalker_, I have a hard time watching anything by myself so I've never actually seen it.
― Kate (rushomancy), Monday, 15 April 2024 13:04 (two months ago) link
Had no idea about this film fest at OMSI! I still have never seen Galaxy Quest, so maybe this Sunday would be the time to.
I finally found two guides to current arthouse listings, since so many venues do one-time screenings without there being comprehensive showtimes in one place.
There's this weekly newsletter with good recommendations
And then there's this guide as well.
I live walking distance from both Cinemagic and Clinton Street Theater, so I've been going to those regularly. Still haven't made it to the Academy. For first-run movies, I've loved the Moreland especially, with $5 Tuesdays, a big theater that's not too crowded, and great sound/picture (and that Milwaukie/Bybee neighborhood is fun, too).

Looks like the first link didn't work. Here's the newsletter: https://watchthispdx.substack.com
My wife and I are coming through to Portland this weekend from Friday until Monday - we’re over from the UK for our first visit to the North West of the states. Any gigs or other fun things happening? Also we enjoy beer if anyone fancies meeting up.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 15 April 2024 16:40 (two months ago) link
We could be up for seeing Stalker actually.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 15 April 2024 16:45 (two months ago) link
for some reason i still haven't made it out to Clinton Street Theater, despite also living in walking distance, haha. I've been wanting to see RHPS there for ages (I've actually never seen it). I did go out and get tickets to Stalker at OMSI on Sunday - they're nearly sold out for that showing. If anybody else is going and wants to meet up, LMK, my email is my username at gmail.
Anyway reason I bumped this thread was that I was on my way back from my mammogram today and passed a Lutheran church that was advertising that they were doing Drag Church. Portland, people of all genders and/or no genders. Portland.
― Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 16 April 2024 22:20 (two months ago) link
We haven’t got tickets yet, but are thinking about it, just want to check there isn’t anything else on that night over the next few days.
We might see Love Lies Bleeding which is not out yet in the UK, are either Living Room Theaters or Studio One Theaters good cinemas?
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 23:43 (two months ago) link
Living Room tix are relatively expensive as far as movie theaters go, with the gimmick that you get food delivered
The other one I’ve not attended
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 06:35 (two months ago) link
Also be sure to visit the Kennedy School while you’re here. It’s a fun walk-thru
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 06:36 (two months ago) link
Chewshabadoo & co., if you're doing Stalker on Sunday (or even if not), I'd be around to meet up before or after. OMSI isn't too far from Hawthorne Asylum (a pod of 15 or so food trucks + beer), so that's an option.
― paisley got boring (Eazy), Saturday, 20 April 2024 11:28 (one month ago) link
Hey, that sounds cool! I’ll send you a PM to exchange details
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 20 April 2024 18:48 (one month ago) link
Film is on at 6:45. So we think we’ll try and get to Hawthorne Asylum about 4 o’clock.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 20 April 2024 21:47 (one month ago) link
Sounds good! I’ll be there around 4 — I sent an email to the Gmail in your message, but if you didn’t get it just let me know. (If you did get it, just search my name and you’ll see what I look like.) Hope other ILXPDX folks can make it as well if they’re around.

I’d love to swing by to say hi but my Sundays are generally spoken for. We should put something together soon though!

Great seeing/meeting everyone yesterday! And Hawthorne Asylum worked so well on such a nice day. Really fun getting Brits' impressions of Portland.

Thursday is the free night I have in the week ahead, so if Drunken Master II doesn't happen am up for The People's Joker (otherwise, I bet the latter will be back often in the months ahead). Plus, I've never seen Drunken Master II and live a quick walk from the Cinemagic.

Portland State standoff with protesters continues as students, faculty urged to stay away
Portland State University remained at a tense standstill Tuesday amid the second straight day of a volatile standoff between pro-Palestinian protesters who have occupied the main library and the university’s administrators who have asked police to intervene.Both Portland Police Chief Bob Day and university President Ann Cudd have said that a police response at the now graffiti-covered library is all but inevitable if demonstrators do not choose to vacate the premises.The university canceled classes Tuesday and it was not immediately clear when they would resume.
