SFist Jenna's rocked so hard, we've made her a full-fledged staff writer as of this post! Congratulations, SFist Jenna! We're excited to have you on board (like we're a ship or something). It's going to be freezing, but what else is new? Might as well make the most of it -- be sure to pack plenty of blankets and head over to a screening of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory tonight, in......

Their name's the stuff our dreams are made of but the first minute we spend at The San Francisco Chocolate Factory doesn't bode well. "Do you make the chocolate here?" We ask, our dowey eyes full of Charlie-like wonder. The clerk winces as she sets us straight. We feel her pain: for the next thirty minutes every single walk-in repeats that same question. But fear not; though the place lacks factory creds, boy, they bring on the chocolate. And the San Francisco. ...

We hate to sound like a broken record, but if we didn't already feel like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory looked kinda ass, Mick LaSalle's glowing review sealed it for us. We don't really care if they remake every single movie made since 1971, we still won't be sobbing "you raped my childhood" or anything, we promise. But when you have Johnny Depp apparently playing Anna Wintour instead of Willy Wonka, you can't expect......

SFist regrets to inform our readers that the best movie event this weekend is actually happening on Monday, April 11. Because of this move, we will spend the weekend watching MI5 (Spooks to you, Londonist Mike), with maybe a brunch at Nona's Now, the place to be on Monday is our beloved Balboa, where Gene Wilder will be appearing in Person to sign his new book, Kiss Me Like a Stranger : My Search......

Who doesn't love candy? We sure do! Unfortunately, when you get as old as SFist, it isn't cool to wander from door to door asking neighbours for a fun size Snickers. At least, not when you're sober. For a while, we've thought that the best way to get all the candy we want would be through a Willy Wonka-ish candy factory inheritance. We've checked with all the relatives and, sadly, it seems unlikely. So, we'll......

Here’s a total shocker- the man who “caught” Barry Bonds’ home run ball #700, Steve Williams, is now being sued over possession of said ball. Remember in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory how whenever one of the kids got the Golden Ticket, that creepy Slugworth guy with the scar would quickly grab them and whisper sweet nothings in their ear to tempt them into telling him all of Wonka’s secrets? Why do we have......
