Sunday, January 8th, 2006: The monthly Portland late-night
staple, The Cort and Fatboy Midnight Movie, got its accidental start as a
charity screening for about 20 people at McMenamin's Kennedy School. A DVD of
Raiders of The Lost Ark was shown promptly at midnight, and maybe the
resolution was a little low, maybe the colors were a little flat, but the movie
did what it always does - completely enthralled the audience sitting in front
of it. It's only the finest action movie ever made, after all. Not even the Ark
itself could likely hold the pure magic Spielberg, Lucas, Kasdan and Ford
managed to harness for that film.
Friday, August 5th, 2011: Cort and Fatboy continue to
celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Midnight Movies inexplicably surviving as
long as they have by going back to the film that started it all. And maybe the
35mm print will be a little faded, a little scratched up, maybe the audio will
be a little fuzzy, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is going to do what it always
does, because it's only the finest action movie ever made, after all.
Admission is $3.00, you must be 21 or older to attend. The
doors open at 10pm, a pre-show reel will precede the movie, and then at 11pm, a
blue mountain will appear on the screen, and it will fade into a real mountain,
and John Williams' music will slowly, ominously begin rising on the soundtrack,
and the next two hours will be, guaranteed, the finest bit of summer
blockbusting you'll get a chance to witness this year. It just so happens that
the blockbusting you're watching is 30 years old."
