Al Pacino was in town last night to premiere his new Oscar Wilde documentary Wilde Salomé to a sold-out Castro Theatre audience. Naturally the relatively rare appearance of Hollywood royalty in our fair city deserves the sort of celeb-gazing usually reserved for SoCal tourists, so here's our local NBC affiliate trying to pin down the man and his gloriously disheveled hair:

Al Pacino Brings Oscar Wilde Doc To Sold-Out Castro Theatre This Week
Wilde Salome that's described as "unconventional" and "an intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpse into Oscar Wilde's life." It also features actress Jessica Chastain, and the U.S. premiere is happening here in San Francisco on Wednesday, at the Castro Theatre, in a benefit event for the GLBT Historical Society. And Pacino's going to be there!
CineKink: S/M at the Movies and The Best of CineKink
We've said it before and we'll say it again: You are all a bunch of weirdos. There was probably no greater message than that to be gleaned from Saturday night's CineKink screenings; that all humans are strange and kinky creatures, and the ones who don't admit it are the weirdoiest of them all. The NYC-based fest flogs itself as a celebration of "alternative sexuality," a term almost as ambiguous and vague as "progressive" and "straight-acting;" Saturday's screenings included a clip show, highlighting the bizarre fashion in which Hollywood misunderstands S/M culture, and a collection of award-winning kink-positive shorts.
