Let's cross this weekend off our collective bucket list, eh, Portland?
Black Caesar (1973) was absolutely mind-blowing on 35mm, especially with Hollywood Theatre's massive sound system blasting James Brown's electrifying score for maximum impact! Thank you, as always, to everyone at
Hollywood Theatre for opening the gates to
Wyrd War for another night of gritty guerrilla cinema at its finest. Eternal thanks to
Fred "The Hammer" Williamson for spending the weekend with us, and regaling more than 300 fans with his hilarious wisdom and sordid tales from behind the camera. It was the best audience Q&A in recent memory, hands down. We kept trying to wrap it up, but the audience and "The Hammer" were not havin' it...so we kept going for nearly a full hour! Thanks also to everyone at
Movie Madness for hosting us on Saturday for a wonderfully intimate screening of
Take a Hard Ride (1975) with live commentary by the living legend himself. It was truly a weekend for the history books. All the photos here were captured by Meadow on her phone (which is exactly why she isn't in many of them), except those credited to Jesse Lanier, who came down with a proper camera and documented some very special moments against the odds. Until next time...don't let the smooth taste fool you!
