Straight Shooting ended up having to sit out the first Framing Pictures session in January, onaccounta its date fell midway through an out-of-town trip we had planned. However, RTJ will join Herald-KUOW film critic Robert Horton and flâneur extraordinaire Bruce Reid for a freewheeling conversation about things cinematic Friday, Feb. 10, 5 p.m. at Northwest Film Forum (1515 12th Ave. between Pine & Pike). Expect to hear a lot about Nicholas Ray, the legendary American director who gave us a decade's worth of vibrant cinema—from They Live By Night (1948) through, oh, Bitter Victory (1958)—and whose centenary is about to be observed by NWFF. Admission is free; participation likewise. Beer and wine you pay for.
