Saw Chat Pile last night, and the whole of their stage banter was about movies filmed in and/or taking place in Oregon, including: - Brainsmasher - Night Moves - Prefontaine - My Own Private Idaho and Drugstore Cowboy - Permanent Record Anyway, incredible show.

For all the love our mayor Keith Wilson showers on cops, I can attest to the fact that he was at an early screening of BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE to talk to people before the show and he DID NOT stay for the movie.

“Inhabited by Robert Pattinson, Hansen is possessed,” writes Mercury critic Dom Sinacola. “Primetime strikes a uniquely audacious tone. Both heightened and haughty, somber and zany, it’s a film about terrible ends—and the means to those terrible ends—that is also absolutely thrilling entertainment.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about AI, because outside of art and art criticism circles—where it’s openly derided by even someone like Travis Knight—AI has become all-consuming. At my job, every single person uses it, and is encouraged to use it, and must constantly hear about its benefits.

You’ve just gotta laugh: Portland Metro Chamber, weirdly under their former name Portland Business Alliance, got awarded one of Portland Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work.” A reminder that Portland taxpayers pay PMC executive salaries, and that PMC gave the PBJ’s publisher an award last year.

Hi I’m Dom Sinacola, a writer/critic living in Portland, OR with my wife and two small dogs. I think every second of Bonnie Prince Billy’s “I See a Darkness” constitutes the most moving song ever made, but especially when he asks a friend, “But can you see / what’s inside of me?”

I’m sorry to share this AI slop—truly just ugly garbage—but I’m actually a bit surprised by how many boomer-coded accounts are loving this on Bsky. At least on Threads, you can’t post anything AI without everyone telling you that you are a stupid asshole fake artist, as it should be.

The new Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony, at just over 100 minutes, finds so much time to rest in the mundane, and it’s all the lovelier for it, writes Mercury film critic Dom Sinacola. When the film is really cooking, all sense of the celebrity is more an aftertaste than main course.

Writer-director Jane Schoebrun always balances high-concept metatextual fantasia with deeply tactile, impressionistic filmmaking. Their third fictional feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, is both a celebration and bloodletting of the slasher genre.
