DAVID MINOR THEATER WANTS YOUR VOTE
The pub theater screens The Campaign for its Re-election Party
F
our years ago, this country was gearing up to
elect Team Obama-Biden or Team McCain-Palin.
Four years ago there were flag pins, Bill Ayers
and lipsticked pigs instead of Big Bird, Bain and
bayonets. Four years ago, Mitt Romney was a
blip on the election trail and the U.S. was
toppling into one of the largest economic downturns in
history. And four years ago, the David Minor Theater
(DMT) opened at 5th and Pearl St., bringing film and
libations to Eugene. Friday, Nov. 2, the theater will host a
“Re-election Party” to mark the conclusion of that crucial
first term.
“We wanted to thank everyone in Eugene for allowing
us to be open for four years,” DMT owner Josh Goldfarb
says. “We’re still open and still running strong.” The
theater was named after a late friend of the Goldfarbs’,
David Minor, a 27-year-old Eugenean who was hit by a car
while cycling in the summer of 2008. To commemorate the

event, an angry voter taps on Huggin’s car window and
screams, “Get some American dogs, you commie!” The
pugs are soon replaced with a chocolate lab and golden
retriever (“the two highest polling dogs”).
In addition to the screening, DMT will be offering beer
specials, prizes and $2 admission. So what does the DMT
platform include for its next theatrical term? In early
November, they will be unveiling a ticket window and new
furniture in Theater 1. Goldfarb says he would also like to
keep expanding their food and drink options (they added
Divine Cupcake to the menu this summer). Rather than
announcing who it’s backing in the presidential election,
DMT announced its own more hyper-local endorsement:
“We would like to endorse Eugene’s first downtown movie
theater pub,” Goldfarb says in reference to the new Bijou
downtown cinema. ■

four-year milestone and rev up for the Nov. 6 elections,
DMT will be screening The Campaign, a spoof of
congressional elections starring Will Ferrell and Zach
Galifianakis. The film, while clumsy and heavy-handed,
has enough redeeming scenes (especially if accompanied
with a pint) that remind you what a circus the political
machine is. Ferrell’s performance as the democratic
incumbent Cam Brady feels a little recycled, but the
porcine and mustachioed Galifianakis brings political
buffoonery to a new level with too-tight cardigans and
religious platitudes (his character, Marty Huggins, declares
Jesus Christ to be the “greatest American who has ever
lived”).
One of the funniest lines in the film is so funny because
it veers disturbingly close to the hyperbolic zingers we’ve
heard during the 2012 election cycle: While stumping,
Brady accuses Huggins of owning “Chinese” dogs (two
pugs named Poundcake and Muffins). Following the
