Northwest Film Forum presents:

With Yes Man Andy Bichlbaum in person Friday- Sunday!

On the anniversary of the WTO protests in Seattle, join the Yes Men, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, as they battle the free market mentality with their politically charged hijinks. Their method: select a corporation they don't like, set up a fake website and wait until they're invited to speak at an event as a representative of said despised company.
This time around, Andy and Mike take on Dow Chemical, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton and the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. Incorporating vintage cartoons and archival footage, Bichlbaum and Bonanno construct a fast-paced, highly entertaining look at their unique brand of activism. The absurdity of their actions may amuse, but the Yes Men have a serious point to make: business as usual is no longer acceptable.

The movie screens at 7 and 9pm daily. More information & tickets at www.nwfilmforum.org.

Send an email at promotions@thestranger.com with YES MEN in the subject to win 2 free tickets to a show on Saturday or Sunday!

The Stranger and Central Cinema Presents:

A Five-Week Film Series Exploring How the World's Greatest Pop Star Became the World's Worst Actress.
Curated and Hosted by DAVID SCHMADER

Many would-be film stars have embarrassments under their belts: John Travolta has his Battlefield Earth, Elizabeth Berkley has her Showgirls. But Madonna has her Shanghai Surprise, her Who's That Girl?, her Body of Evidence, her The Next Best Thing, AND her Swept Away-and over the course of ALMOST HUMAN: MADONNA ON FILM, we'll be watching all of them, in all their kaleidoscopic awfulness. Leading the way: David Schmader, the Seattle writer and performer and internationally renowned connoisseur of found comedy, who'll introduce each screening and provide light running commentary throughout the films.

MON DEC 7: SHANGHAI SURPRISE
Painfully lame romantic adventure comedy that earned Madonna her first Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress. (1986)

MON DEC 14: WHO'S THAT GIRL?
Painfully lame slapstick comedy that earned Madonna her second Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress. (1987)

ALL SHOWS AT 7PM AT CENTRAL CINEMA, 1411 21st Ave, 206-328-3230

415 Cedar St (Belltown)

A lovely dive

I used to live across the street from the Five Point, for almost my whole "21st Year", and let me tell you, this place was a Godsend...great food, great prices, reeeeally stiff drinks, and sassy waitstaff. Anyone who's looking for a "classic" or "50's-style" diner should look elsewhere...this place is pure dive, but remains a shimmering star in the Belltown firmament.
