Tonight at the Hollywood, the Grindhouse Film Fest is putting on a double feature of Fist of the White Lotus and The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula. From My, What a Busy Week!:
WHITE LOTUS—Tonight the Grindhouse Film Fest presents not one but two kung fu flicks: 1980's Fist of the White Lotus (starring professional badass Gordon Liu!), and 1974's The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula (starring Hammer horror vet Peter Cushing!). Buffy's kicks and punches are fine and good, but seeing kung fu masters go up against the undead should be a glorious spectacle to behold. EH
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, Fist of the White Lotus at 7 pm, Seven Brothers Meet Dracula at 9 pm, $7 each ($10 for both)
Want to go? OF COURSE YOU DO. I have a pair of tickets to give away, so here's what you need to do: Email me no later than 2 pm PST today (Tuesday, September 7), and make sure "Peter Cushing" is the subject line of your email. Shortly after 2 I'll pick a winner at random and email them back to let them know how to pick up their tickets. Please note that if you win, you'll need to be able to come by the Mercury offices in NE Portland between 3-5 pm today.* Go!
*There's been some confusion on this in the past, so just to be perfectly clear: Don't enter this goddamn contest if you can't actually be bothered to come by the Mercury offices between 3-5 pm today if you win. Cool? Cool.
