Today in Stranger Suggests

posted by on February 7 at 10:45 AM

HALF-COCKED (Film) Ian Svenonius (Spiv!) as an exaggerated version of himself! Tara Jane O’Neil as a greasy-banged ingénue! James Murphy and James Canty throwing a beer can at some punks and calling them fags! If any of these names/situations ring your indie-cred alarms, then you ought to see this film—shot over 15 days in 1994—documenting the rise and fall of the Truckstops, a very fake band made up of very real musicians, as they scam their way around the country in beautiful black and white with an awesome mix tape of a soundtrack. (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 329-2629. 7 and 9 pm, $5—$8.50.) ERIC GRANDY
