-- Interiors (1978): Woody Allen's tribute to Ingmar Bergman seems to have gotten lost in the fold over time (it came out between Annie Hall and Manhattan), but it really is one of his best films, ever.

Screens at 5:10 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. (with Love and Death at 7 p.m.) at the Castro......

-- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: A typical night at the cabaret this is not. The last time we saw Connie Champagne perform (during her stint at the Plush Room), tweakers were passing out in the audience, drunks wept into their vodka rocks, and Connie busted out a dead-on tribute as Judy Garland. Performing Garland's classics (like "San Francisco") as well as songs she might have crooned ("Bohemian Rhapsody" and "A Case of You"), Champagne......

Happy Memorial Day! Here's some stuff to do if you're not barbecuing.

We were amazed as heck that the folks from the High Times Comedy Festival emailed us instead of SFist Jackson, and even more surprised that they offered us tickets to giveaway to some lucky readers to attend Saturday's 10:15 p.m. show of their Fest at Cobb's Comedy Club. There are going to be some exceptionally funny comedians playing these shows... the scathing, biting humor of Tom Rhodes, who has been seen on Comedy Central......
