I was wondering when someone was going to give this jewel of a movie house some love. It's by far the best cinema in town when it comes to sound, picture quality, comfort, cleanliness and all for 6 bucks! Can't beat that. And the staff are friendly and the movies are brand spankin' new. I love the Roseway. (It would be nice to keep it on the DL but in these times, the Roseway needs all the support it can get. We don't want it to close because of low attendance.)

Regards,
Michael

Why haven't I heard about this?

You forgot to mention how everyone working there was really nice and cute.

Best theater in Portland: YES.

Wow, I thought the place had closed, years ago. I bike by there every now and then to get the Papa Murphy's, and it's never looked open to me.

As for best theaters, I've still got to give the nod to the Academy for it's two-for-one nights, and to the Bagdad for its aesthetics (though, as BSG has reminded me, drunken fratboys do bring the whole movie experience down a notch).

Minus two points for their website claiming they are showing some movie called "*The* Watchmen", however.

Okay...which Muni line do I take to get there? Oh never mind, NEVER MIND. I'll reserve a zipcar.

For five days.

I should prolly leave now.

HEY! Stoopid computer glitch ruining my "humor".

Good call! Love the Roseway - glad they kept it one big auditorium. I do wish they had a little more in the way of concessions.

You are ruining my secret awesome spots, Erik Henriksen. RUINING THEM.

For an excellent example of crappy digital projection (and other forms of crappiness), check out the Living Room theater. They do some strange process that's supposed to be the shit, but ends up turning the films into a bad version of some cheap powerpoint projector, lots of little dots. Plus, the theaters really are like living rooms--maybe some people want to pay good money to have an experience just like sitting at home, but I can't quite wrap my head around that. On the flip(pant) side, the place is dripping with hipster cred, and the bathroom has this creepy two-way mirror so you can watch people of the opposite sex wash their hands after they tinkle.

that mirror is really creepy
