The Facebook event invitation said 7, dammit. However, I have no regrets about getting there early and checking out both movies with a crowd not pounding back beers, because once again, I am anti social. But enough about me.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-15718\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/2010\/10\/02\/cheers-to-respect-your-elders-in-pdx\/pros-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15718\" title=\"pros!\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/pros.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"416\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The movie pairing of the evening was a bit odd. Things started with Resourceful Gnome&#8217;s Respect Your Elders, a 20-minute movie about snowboarding people actually want to do (read: riding pow), with all original music, and very few after effects. Then after the obligatory product toss for goods from Airblaster, K2 and even some passes to Timberline, People&#8217;s Cheers fired up. If there&#8217;s one thing that can be said about Justin and Pierre, it&#8217;s that they definitely know how to put together a movie. But compared to the very raw Respect Your Elders, immediately watching Cheers was sort of like going from the outskirts of the Sundance Film Festival directly into a Will Smith summer blockbuster. Basically the only thing the movies had in common was being sponsored by K2.<\/p>\n<p>While the disconnect made my head hurt a little bit, both movies had their certain charm, and you can&#8217;t beat watching GoPro footage on the big screen (seriously, way cooler than on the &#8216;net!) Once the kids were kicked out, the real party started as pro-bros and ironic-mustache-clad <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/forum\/shoot-the-shit\/hipster-is-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\">dickheads <\/a>crowded into the theater. Since I&#8217;d already watched both movies, I did my schmoozing, got the shot, and left before the second showing. Having been to a few of these things though, I imagine the 21-plus showing was a bit rowdier, and the movies were exactly the same. Oh yeah, and a good time was had by all! Of course.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-15719\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/2010\/10\/02\/cheers-to-respect-your-elders-in-pdx\/brett-ahman\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15719\" title=\"brett ahman\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/brett-ahman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"416\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archives I have a confession to make: the showing of Respect Your Elders and Cheers in Portland was the first movie premiere I&#8217;ve made it to this year.
