Portland, catch EVIL PUDDLE, directed by @shockmarathons.bsky.social, at the @cstpdx.bsky.social on Sunday! Now is the time for PDX Motern fans to declare themselves. I’ve been looking forward to a Charlie/Farley movie in town for a long time, and that time is now!

Matt Farley is probably best known as that guy with 26,000 songs on Spotify. But did you know he also makes films? Portlanders have a chance to see Motern Media's latest 'Evil Puddle' at Clinton Street Theater this weekend; @sinacolad.bsky.social explains why that rules.

Thinking of getting a souvenir from the Thessaloniki airport…

A close-up on a stuffed anthropomorphic penis, smiling and cute, with the words “I LOVE COCK” across its shaft. It hangs with many other stuffed dicks, one saying “GREECE” and another saying”I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND.” A tag with the Greek flag makes sure you know where this came from.

Awesome interview, Chase. (Btw, you should come down for the screening at the Hollywood of Drugstore Cowboy at the end of September… it’s put on by our local critics group and Jon Raymond is doing a Q&A after.)

Feels like the movie itself is bored with dinosaurs too. Cursed franchise.

Really excited to help announce this @hollywoodtheatre.org screening of DRUGSTORE COWBOY in 35 mm, followed by a Q&A with Portland writer, screenwriter, icon Jon Raymond (who wrote the Criterion booklet), presented by the @portlandcritics.bsky.social

I honestly think people are so used to this shit that it won’t faze them. When you can’t even buy a tv without having ads automatically inserted in your menu, you just learn to accept the overstimuli. If anything, children will be frightened by her grotesque visage.

Thessaloniki view from where we’re staying

A view at night high above the coastal downtown of Thessaloniki, all twinkling lights and purple spire, with the promenade of the southern part of the city far in the distance, past a lot of sea.

Portland, check out Alex Ross Perry’s new film, which celebrates the history of the video store through movie and tv clips, on October 18th. For citizens of a city blessed to still have such a rare business, this is a must-see.

Movie Madness @moviemadness.org · 7d

We’re excited to screening Alex Ross Perry's VIDEOHEAVEN in the Miniplex on Saturday, October 18 at 11:30AM, 3:00PM, & 6:30PM! Socio-cultural hub, consumer mecca, and source of existential dread; the video rental store forever changed the way we interact with movies.

ICYMI, wrote about T Swift in my newsletter www.anxietyshark.ca/punks-on-the...

punks on the internet

I have long described myself as Taylor Swift agnostic, which is not really true because I do believe she exists, and the truth is that I always misuse agnostic when I really mean atheistic.

Read this thread from a great Portland reporter! The New York Times running this story today is absolutely calculated. It has been positioning Portland for years as a progressive villain. Also: why send a reporter from the Bay when the NYT has at least two reporters who actually live in Portland.
