SFist Tonight
- UndergroundfilmMaker Festival: It goes a little something like this, "In an era where filmmakers are called 'users' who 'generate content,' [Hey now! -- sfist] Undergroundfilm wishes to put the spotlight back where it belongs: behind the camera." So far the festival has had three rounds. The portfolio submission, filmmaker interview, and finally, new projects. Now, the filmmakers have been narrowed down to six and-- sigh. Okay, this is starting to sound a bit convoluted. We'll break it down for you the only way we know how: it's an American Idol-ish movie contest, and its season finale is tonight. Got it? The festival starts tonight at 8 p.m. at the Roxie; $10.
- Bill Haley's Original Comets: One of the first ivory outfits to bring rock to the masses -- with such boomerific covers as "Rock Around the Clock" and "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" -- they still perform today. Come catch these Wonder Bread legends of rock tonight at the Red Devil Lounge at 8 p.m.; $20.
- Season premiere of Lost: Yeah, yeah, we screwed this up yesterday. (One might say we too were a bit...lost. Har.) Anyway, the "two-hour" premiere starts at 8 p.m. on ABC. But! ABC's trying to make it sound like it's gonna be a two-hour show, but they're gigantic liars. You see, the first hour is a recap episode and the second hour is the premiere. So...there you go.
- Meat: Clubs editor at SF Weekly, John Graham, claims that DNA Lounge's night of electro-industrial derives its name from "barbecuing a Viking-sized appetite’s worth of free hide on the 11th Street sidewalk." That is awesome. Reason enough to head over to SOMA this evening, which starts at 9:30 p.m. at DNA Lounge; $5.

Uh, I hate that I know this and care enough to comment but the Lost 2-hour season opening event starts at 8 p.m. with the actual premiere ep starting at 9 p.m.
Peter pedantic signing off.
The "two-hour" premier of Lost starts at 8:00pm. Sooooo, I do believe the actual new episode starts at 9:00pm.
Any other TV impaired Lost fans know if they're gonna toss this up on abc.com right after the episode is over like they did last season?
@ jlantsberger
They're scaling way back on this.
""Our research shows that if you give people this opportunity, we would be hurting ourselves," says Mike Benson, senior vice president of marketing for ABC.
I am so offended I am grasping for a punchline.
