Watch ‘Sometimes a Great Notion’ film The Big O Saloon screens Pacific Northwest cult classic Feb. 25 OLNEY — The best place to watch the greatest movie ever made about logging is in a real logger bar. The best logger bar around is the Olney Saloon, set back up in the woods of Olney. On Thursday, Feb. 25, the Olney Saloon will host its annual winter screening of “Sometimes a Great Notion.” The movie, adapted from Ken Kesey’s epic novel about a de- ¿ant family of loggers, starred Paul Newman and was ¿lmed on the Central Oregon Coast during the summer of 1970. The ¿lm was released in 1971 to an indifferent nationwide audience but remains a cult classic in the Paci¿c North- west. The Big O will offer a Hank Stamper Olympia beer and meatloaf sandwich spe- cial, free popcorn, and the warmth of a crackling wood- stove ¿re to enMoy the ¿lm. As- toria writer Matt Love, author of “Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Ore- gon Novel,” will introduce the movie, hold a trivia contest, and take questions after the screening.
