Product Description

Irreverent stories about running an alternative, locally owned, independent movie theater in a small Oregon town; appreciations of fiercely loyal patrons; and rants about the peculiar business of dealing with movie studios. Paul also writes about his earlier experiences running movie theaters, some of which are now gone forever, and his forays into the American West, as seen from the seat of his motorcycle. Movies and motorcycles, twin passions for Paul, provide a never-ending supply of inspiration for Paul's creativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed...I cried...I peed..., June 18, 2008

By	mossum (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

To produce a book about the small goings-on around a small theater in a small town takes a small man. Just kidding. Paul is a large man, and I say that not entirely euphemistically. If Mark Twain and Garrison Keillor had a baby, it would be just like Paul, only a lot uglier. This is the perfect potty-book. Short-but-not-too-short vignettes that are like 3-D HD mind pictures exhibiting Paul's talent, patience, perseverance and creativity. Plus, that's a good place to be when he makes you laugh so hard you...well...you know...
