Best City. Best Week!

TRAILERMANIA 8 - 60 minutes - May 13 at 7 and 9pm - Clinton Street Theater - 26th and SE Clinton - Admission: $6

As Scott and I have claimed on many an episode of Film Fever Radio, sometimes the trailer is the best element of a movie. (I’m looking at your Underworld). Local film archivist Greg Hamilton took that belief and turned it into a fantastic screening event! I’ve been to many previous Trailermania screenings and each one has been a blast, I don't expect this one to be any different. You owe it to yourself to check it out. Just take a gander at some of these trailers, in their glorious 35mm print form!

Genghis Khan, Sword of the Conqueror, The Sword of Monte Cristo, The Mongols, 10 Commandments, Born Again, Heaven Can Wait, Preacherman, Oh God, Front Page, The Black Bird, One on One, Pink Panther Strikes Again, The Hustle, Casey’s Shadow, Littlest Horse Thieves, Zebra in the Kitchen, Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion, Barefoot Executive, Matilda, Hills of Home, Son of Lassie, Incredible Journey/Old Yeller, For the Love of Benji, C.H.O.M.P.S., Lucky, The Shaggy D.A., George, Digby the Biggest Dog in the World, Snoopy Come Home, Lady and the Tramp,101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan, 1,000,000 Duck, The Boatniks, Gnome Mobile, Which Way Is Up, Never a Dull Moment – 3 Caballeros, Hot Lead Cold Feet – Mr. Toad, Scandalous John, Charlie and the Angel, Jericho the Clown, Worlds Greatest Athlete, The Strongest Man in the World, Treasure of Matacumbe, Escape from Witch Mountain (I had the biggest little kid crush on Kim Richards, before I even understood what a “crush” was. –AD), Bed knobs and Broomsticks, Mary Poppins, The Great Gatsby, Ruby Gentry, Fast and Sexy, Niagara, Mysterious Island, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Jaws 2, Blue Water - White Death, The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Logan’s Run, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Soylent Green, The Green Slime

Q & A w/prizes to follow the screening…ask about your favorites - and hear about some of the more obscure cinema discoveries from the Trailermania vault.

Don't go yet, there is more…

On Thursday, May 15 at the Crystal Ballroom, join your friendly neighborhood Geek at the Rick Emerson Listener Party 11 – Emerson’s 11! The doors open at 7pm and the event kicks off at 8pm! No cover, but we’re partying in a bar, so you gotta’ be 21 or older!

While all Listener Parties are a blast, this one is promising to be the biggest and baddest Listener Party of all time! Music from Emerson Starship and Nickel Arcade. The world premiere of an all-new Tim Riley short film. And, the event you’ve all been waiting for… The Rick Emerson Roast! Be there!

Finally, thanks to all that continue to vote for this fine site (and 'ol Clyde Lewis as the Best Weirdo) in the Willamette Week’s Best of 2008 poll! Truly, the greatest audience of all time!
