NEO-NOIR—In 1973, Robert Altman took a crack at Raymond Chandler and made one of the greatest films of the ’70s: The Long Goodbye, starring Elliott Gould. The NW Film Center is screening it tonight—and in a nice coincidence, the very Long Goodbye-ish Inherent Vice, directed by Altman’s protégé Paul Thomas Anderson, is also screening in town. See ’em both. ERIK HENRIKSEN
The Long Goodbye at NW Film Center’s Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park, 7 pm, $8-9; Inherent Vice at various theaters, see Film Times
ANNIVERSARY—The Know’s 10-day-long anniversary party kicks into high gear for its penultimate day, with an afternoon record swap next door, plus a rockin’ evening set from Paul Collins Beat (the Nerves, the Beat) with the Mean Jeans in tow. Better put your ya-yas back in now, ’cause they’re definitely gonna need to come out tonight. NED LANNAMANN
