Alright, just gonna come right out and say it: based on the types of movies we tend to sell out, Portland is a very horny town.

The rain feels nice. Fuck summer.

Hearing reports that a billionaire who got rich off of preying on poor people through sub-prime auto loans might not have the best interest of the community in mind when it comes to the use of tax funds.

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

The 'pardon every anti-ICE protestor' candidate has our vote for president.

PSA: Shut the fuck up when you go to see a movie in a theater or stay the fuck home. 🤗

Our annual screening of BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER is this Saturday night and we're running low on tickets. Get your spot soon if you hope to attend. cstpdx.com/event/cult-s...

Sci-Fi July returns this summer! See what's in store: cstpdx.com/sci-fi-july/

"I had it in my mind that we—Black people—are on the forefront of fashion, and we’re on the forefront of hip-hop with new jack swing, [so] let’s also be on the visual forefront." For @letterboxd.social, I spoke with Mario Van Peebles about NEW JACK CITY, which is 35 this year.

Don't cannibalize your entire September line-up for something called 'Shrektember', they said. No one cares it's the 25th anniversary of the top-grossing movie of 2001, they said. 'Shrektember' isn't even a thing, they said. Well, well, well. Who's laughing now, fuckos? youtu.be/Swiz1XyfhcI?...

Sadly, NWMOCA is closing June 28th with the Will Eisner Retrospective as our final exhibit. Please stop by if you haven't seen it. As we close, everything in our gift shop is half price. Starting in July, we will be selling all our furniture and equipment at greatly reduced prices.

Personal favorite tonight. 40th anniversary screening. cstpdx.com/event/desert...

Hello. We're older than the Blazers, bring in internationally known stars, account for a high volume of foot traffic and are vital to the other businesses in our area. It would be devastating to the community if we moved, and we have needed renovations. We'd like some welfare, please.

Not doing much on here yet, but give us a follow and we'll start cooking up some fun: letterboxd.com/cstpdx/

Stay ready, friends.

If you're looking to do some double features to avoid the heat soon, Cinemagic has some great films playing, many before and after our own times so you can make a quick trip between the two places.

🤘😈🤘

It's a big week in Portland with summer faves Bike Play, Kickstand Comedy in the Park, and the Risk/Reward Festival of New Performance returning, plus the Mercury‘s Queer Issue drag brunch. More things to do in Portland this week ⬇️

Some anecdotal hope for your Monday morning: creative young people seem to view generative AI on the same level of cool as their aunt running a dedicated Facebook page for Minions memes.

Thinking of burning every ounce of community goodwill built up over the years and turning this into a Certified Hater account. Just hot take after hot take about stuff that sucks.

Sharing here first for all you late night skeeters. cstpdx.com/event/twin-p...

Iranian-French cartoonist and filmmaker was perhaps most well-known for the graphic memoir, and subsequent film, about her life during the Iranian revolution in 1979. n.pr/4e4ODBQ

Last July, nineteen protestors were arrested outside an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas. Lauren Fadiman tells the story of the trial that followed, conducted in a haze of right-wing paranoia and conspiracy.

Wild that John Oliver is hyping Deadly Prey Gallery.

HBD to the legendary joyful/angry feminist and superlative filmmaker Agnès Varda (1928-2019)!!! 🎊🎞️

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.

Excited to bring this sneak peek to Portland before the film opens nationally. cstpdx.com/event/shoot-...

Our "Shrektember" series is vindicated!

This will be a really good show. You should attend. cstpdx.com/event/soriah...

Very sad news. Brian was incredibly kind with his time. The poster for one of his documentaries hangs in our ticket booth. He is deeply missed.

You're welcome. cstpdx.com/pride/

This is what it feels like to be an American right now.

Really excited to announce the lineup for this year's Hanabi Film Festival! Passes and individual tickets now on sale. cstpdx.com/hanabi/

Working on something that, hopefully, people will like. It's ambitious and a little weird. Might be too much; a bellwether for what we can get away with in our programming. More very soon.

Should be an interesting conversation for all you Letterboxd users out there.

SECS Fest is in Portland on June 4, 7pm at the Clinton Street Theater - @cstpdx.bsky.social . There will be bondage and discipline, soccer, toilets, a prettiest pink doll, queer dystopias, and more. cstpdx.com/event/best-o...

May the 4th be with all the clankers churning out "Jar Jar with big natties" prompts today. 📿

Continuing the tradition of have one useful update per, like, seven shitposts, here's an advance ticket link to our next Twin Peaks event with special guest appearance by actor Harry Goaz (aka Deputy Andy). Announcing on the lesser sites tomorrow morning. cstpdxtickets.square.site/product/twin...

Wading into the discourse to proclaim that we should be able to legally smoke crack on our sidewalks while eating foie gras. 🤷‍♀️

Say what you will, but it's actually kind of sweet how the president is sundowning alongside our empire. That kind of solidarity is something The Left could learn from this May Day. #allyship #ableism #scorpiomoon

"Good morning. Y'all gettin' this bread?"* *Ducks at the Laurelhurst pond, presumably.

There's only 5 spots left for our Twin Peaks event on Sunday. So get yours ASAP if you want to attend. cstpdx.com/event/twin-p...

Let's fuckin' go!
