Tonight’s subject:

January 7, 2008
Beer Commercials a Go-Go!

Tom’s been busy buying even more of those retro liquor ads. See some of the classics you already love, plus reels of never shown ads, certain to make you thirsty. Pabst Blue Ribbon, Rainier, Budweiser, Miller, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, Falstaff, Fall City Beer, and many more. In black & white and color.

The Monday Movies MySpace page has all the details and schedule.

Dave’s Rosebuds: the inaugural edition

January 5, 2008 by Dave 1 Comment

eraserhead150×150.jpgSometimes I find things I would like to share, but they don’t warrant their own blog post, or I don’t have the time at the moment to flesh one out. Lately I’ve been dealing with this by not posting, but I think I’ve stumbled upon a better solution. I’m a fan of Shawn Levy’s Mad About Movies blog, and every Friday he rolls out some orts:

(ort — noun; Middle English, from Middle Low German orte; a morsel left at a meal, a scrap; a Friday staple at Mad About Movies)

In the tradition of the Mad About Movies Friday Orts, I introduce the soon to be semi-regular Dave’s Rosebuds, my handpicked Portland-related orts:

  • Speaking of Rosebuds, the eponymous Portland hockey team was the first US team to play for the Stanley Cup
  • Best hair and industrial noise on film this weekend at the NW Film Center
  • Poppy Portland band Eux Autres digs soccer
  • Does this mean cyclists will stop blocking my crosswalk?
  • Break out your Pendleton: next Saturday is the Plaid and Proud LumberJax opener
  • Portland’s barefoot skateboarder already dresses like a lumberjack
  • Former Oregonlive Blazers Blog blogger Casey Holdahl now holds official Center Court for the Blazers
