England up 1 deciding to sit back and do nothing with 9 in the box for a half hour against Argentina in the World Cup

The director’s 1987 dalliance with satanic panic plays July 17, 18 and 22 as part of Cinemagic’s monthlong Carpenter extravaganza.

If you expect me to believe George Lucas is more interested in technological advances than human experience and craft, name 5,000 warning signs.

Glory years were had. It's all just going back to where it started — pulling out a film journal in a bar to remember who all you saw "Sully" with.

Before ‘McCabe and Mrs. Miller’ and ‘Deadwood,’ Jacques Tournier's ‘Canyon Passage’ used the frontier mining camp as a microcosm for America, in all its violence and glory. On its 80th anniversary, @zvasquez.bsky.social looks back at this underrated Western classic.

I sort of understand Odysseus on that deeper level because my press screening is in a weird suburb tonight, and I don't remember if they have Chipotle there.

Tim Robinson as Freddy or gtfo

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

1/ OK! We analyzed all ~5,300 pages of public records on the Moda Center deal — every email, text, contract, and invoice produced so far. Before Portland commits ~$850M+ ($1.12B after interest), here’s what every Portlander should know. It’s not the story you’ve been told. 🧵

Found out last night I got first place in arts criticism (the Jim Ridley award) from AAN for my work at the @portlandmercury.com aan.org/aan/announci... (couldn't have done it w/out my editor @suzettesmith.bsky.social and congrats to fellow PDXers, 2nd and 3rd @chancesp.bsky.social and Nolan Parker)

The 2001 medieval sports dramedy plays at Academy Theater this week.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

“Already in hell.” Porter points up. “Or in heaven.” Porter points down.

Engaged in some Reichardt raving around the 22-minute mark! Thanks for including me, @bcfonfilm.bsky.social!

Come with me and you'll be / in a world of abject exploitation

once again need to reiterate how bad this guy sucks. he made his billions as a "pioneer" in the subprime auto loan industry betting that the working poor would be desperate to pay whatever it takes to avoid losing the cars they need to drive to work

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

Call me naive, but the Allen trust was also in a unique position not to sell to someone who was blatantly going to threaten "Sonics: Part 2."

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

For those who like pratfalls with their dismemberment, local film critic declares The Handmaiden "a good time." Tomorrow at @cstpdx.bsky.social!

Largely forgotten journeymen in the '70s NBA had better nicknames than 2026's most famous players. We have nothing to fear. Initials are the enemy. I submit to you ... Butch Beard and Slick Watts.

David Mamet’s depraved neo-noir debut plays at Cinema 21 this week.

cross-sport hot take the Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup is going to set the Blazers back 10 years

New high, baby. Vulture Cinematrix No. 807: Jun 11, 2026 I got 9/9 Correct Score: 2674 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: vulture.com/vulturecinem...

Yeah, the final frames of Bugonia do suggest a man desperate for a nap.

All good. Just shooting pool down at House of Games, fully in control of my life. boxd.it/eJqd0x

Spurs are the youngest Finals team since the '77 Blazers. And the '77 Blazers were down 0-2 as well. Just sayin.

As a heavily reformed "anything but horror" person, broadening your taste is also about setting some of your own shit aside. Laugh when you're scared. Process your feelings. Appreciate that the film is fucking working when you're scared. You cannot truly love the outdoors and hate the cold.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Journalists at five Northwest newspapers owned by McClatchy Media Company went on a one-day strike May 26, pushing back against their hedge-fund owned employer.

I'm paragraphing Guillermo del Toro here: When you call any art or craft "content" you're using the language of pipelines. Doesn't matter what's in the pipeline, just that the pipe is full. Oil, sugar, shit, content, doesn't matter.

I know this betrays my first-watch ignorance about a total classic. But I can't tell you the delight I experienced upon learning that "Baby" is the leopard. @hollywoodtheatre.org - June 6 and 7

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

[Yawn so loud and long it lasts until the 2028 announcement of Eli Roth's "Prince of Darkness" remake.]

Intrigued! High time we got more Keoghan performances where he's not playing a hyena on speed.

NEW: We obtained bodycam footage showing ICE violently arresting farm workers in Oregon and using a facial recognition app to try to ID them. The officers later admitted they had no warrants and no idea who the people were when they stopped them. Four of the workers were later deported.

900 players used lifetime. They said something so futile wasn't possible. They were wrong. www.sports-reference.com/immaculate-g...

Gena Rowlands’ searing turn in the 1974 is one of the most influential screen performances of all time.

a little bit of forced perspective either but lmao some of the dudes on the Spurs' bench are 7 feet tall and it still looks like this

I am truly terrible at popping on half a movie before bed. Last night I set my rigidity aside and watched some of "Pelham 123." A decision so good it could cure the common cold.

It’s extremely funny for a guy who starred in a show where Greece looks like your friend’s backyard to say this

A genuinely lovely surprise! Jazzed to be alongside some of the best arts writers I know.

Also the amount of angry emails I fielded after @chancesp.bsky.social "failed" to include 45 year old movies on the list of Top 25 of the Past 25 Years should be noted if only for posterity

it’s just been a long couple weeks at Day Job, so I got a bit weepy at this news. Ecstatic to share the category with fellow finalists @chancesp.bsky.social and Nolan Parker. Big thanks to Suzette for being my ideal editor and for bringing me into the @portlandmercury.com fold in the first place.

Thanks, @wweek.com, for the ink about our "Hidden Fortress" screening—May 4 at the @hollywoodtheatre.org! We're excited to announce PSU film prof @patrickterry.bsky.social will join us for a post-film discussion! www.wweek.com/arts/movies/...

Weird roster, lots of injuries, limited scoring options—this team is a 7-seed because they play their assess off. Pay the man!
