SATURDAY JULY 21
POSSESSION
[MOVIES] Sure, you could spend the weekend standing in line for The Dark Knight Rises,
or you could go see this intensely strange 1981 exercise in
Cronenbergian horror from Polish director Andrzej Zulawski, starring a
young, crazy-eyed Sam Neill and a totally unhinged Isabelle Adjani as a
woman fallen into demonic lust with a creature resembling an oozing,
anthropomorphic squid. Your call. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd., 493-1128, hollywoodtheatre.org. 9:30 pm Saturday-Sunday, July 21-22.
TOMATO BATTLE

choice for hecklers for good, squishy, reason. With 80,000 pounds of the
tomato at your disposal, 3,000 willing participants and a beer garden,
this food fight should satisfy even the crankiest troll. MacTarnahanâs Taproom, 2730 NW 31st Ave., tomatobattle.com/portland. Noon-7 pm. $49.99.
KENNY & ZUKEâS 2ND ANNUAL PICKLEFEST
