A Night in Bellingham
This past Friday was a very nice day. It was how all Friday's should be: stress-free, buoyant, and slightly giddy. Normally, Friday's are not like this - they more resemble a Tuesday. But Friday was indeed a Friday, and a special Friday because it was the night of the Standard and Funner films duel-premier. My friend Kael and I rallied on up to the majestic Mt. Baker Theatre, in Bellingham. Bellingham is a very special place. The locals there are like one big family, and they readily welcome "outsiders" with a pat on the back and a round of shotgunnin'. The "family" was in full attendance, and if you weren't, what the hell were you thinkin? Now to the matter of utmost importance...
Mr. Dubs, very goddamn well done. Funner's "Sentimental Values" kept my head shaking in disbelief for a good hour. The Funner crew has really stepped it up with stellar filming and inspired riding. Hoots and hollers overpowered the soundtrack through the length of the film. If other films from this season seem to lack powder, it is because Funner stole it all. "Sentimental Values" showcases true northwest riding: a compromise between chaos and beauty. I particularly enjoyed the South American montage. "Sentimental Values" ends with a knock 0ut punch from the Bellingham bruiser, Lucas Debari. But viewer beware: after seeing "Sentimental Values" the remaining days of summer will be even more painful than ever. As soon as it ended, I checked the date on my phone: "damn, it's still August".
As for Standard Films' "Catch the Vapors", well, Mark Landvik is in it. I don't really need to say anything else.
Eric Jackson is also in it, and damn, homeboy loves to roll the dice. He hustled my buddy outside the theatre. Well played, Mr. Jackson, well played.
I don't remember much after that. Ahhh, Bellingham.
