Hollywood Theatre

That's incredible.

You want to hear my story about going to see The Killer for the first time? I saw it at the Hollywood Theater and I walked out and I thought, huh, not very good.

And then I rewatched it at home like a month later and I was like, fuck, this is really, really good.

So I actually never even got to see it because my friend was late and you know how Alamo Drafthouse gets.

There's a band from Gothenburg, Sweden called Antisemex that was prolific.

They're kind of underground, but they were prolific in the early 1980s, and they just did a big screening for them here at the Hollywood Theater.

So there's all these little theater palaces, and I definitely know that would be like a huge Q&A thing would do well for you.

Yeah.

you should see if it is still playing because the big screen is

I think it's still at the Hollywood.

Oh, thank God.

Yeah, I mean, they kept selling out.

You know, it's not it's not only the big cities, hopefully.

portland has um the hollywood theater

yeah i think i've been there actually i think i saw

it's a super cool movie house they play lots of old old stuff all the time there's always festivals going on like showing silent films there's like buster keaton

That's her whole thing.

That's really cool.

Yeah, we went to a stop motion animation festival that was at the Hollywood Theater.

Stop motion shorts because they're actually trying to open a stop motion museum in Portland.

I've also never had a hot dog at a movie theater.

I guess I'll get a pizza when I go to, like, the Hollywood Theater or something.

Okay.

You know what? Yeah.

I'll say none, except like old movies that I watched at home, uh, as a kid.

Growing up and moving to a city and seeing it happen here is like, now I go to other cities like what, where is the actual like movie scene, quote-unquote film scene? I think Portland has something maybe, I won't say comparable, but like very neat in the Hollywood Theater.

Portland, yeah.

Oh, for sure.

Halstead, yeah.

Uh, who runs...

Yeah, runs Portland's Hollywood Theater up there.

Again, again, I'm just shining the shoes of the place we already talk about every single week, you know, way to shine their shoes, but I just think it's a very cool, um, like, and unique setup.

... centered around movies and how that that's kind of gone.

Um, I think it's why it's important to protect movie theaters like the Hollywood Theater that we have here in Portland-

Mm-hmm, yeah

... or the Alamo Drafthouse-

... like every other-

Yeah

... video store, and so it was purchased by the aforementioned Hollywood Theater-

Mm-hmm
