Last night Thing2 and her fiancee took Lyricdancer and @thewoodbinewitch and me to see Wildwood at the Baghdad pub/theater in Portland, and I have to say that 1,000% the best way to see #Wildwood is at a pub/theater in Portland. First and foremost, it's a love story to Portland and environs: St John's, Forest Park, Haystack Rock, the Columbia Gorge, wine country all are beautifully represented, as are the inside jokes about Portland's people (the dad in a hipster beanie sitting at the kitchen table knitting a hipster beanie for his infant son), and the audience cheered and clapped and oohed and ahhed at every local reference.

And then, if you want a good story with strong characterization and arguably the best stop motion photography ever done, this is it too. Strong recommend.
