Hollywood Theater redux, in Portland Monthly Mag

Not that I'm biased or anything, but I love the Hollywood Theatre.  A non-profit theatre from the 1920's that now serves beer.  Sign me up.  Yes, they show indie films and have great film festivals and movie marathons.  But really I got hooked on some of their more wacky offerings, like Hecklevision, where you get to be a smart ass via text message and your witticisms appear like magic on the screen.  Or B-Movie Bingo where you get a bingo card with squares like "Male Ponytail" or "Long Boring Scene" and fill them in while watching movie classics like Stone Cold with Brian Bosworth or Night Beast.  Portland Monthly sent me out to capture the scene which included a peek backstage where they house the really cool stuff like Dolemite movie reels and the original movie seats.  It was during this assignment that I also got a taste of Kung Fu Theater, which shows rare 35mm prints of Hong Kong action films of the 70's and 80's and inspired me to karate chop each people for the rest of the day.  Viva la Portland. hollywood-1 hollywood-2 hollywood-3
