SFist Sara gets Knocked Up! (the movie -- the movie!) How can mainstream comedy be dead when Knocked Up is all about inventive delivery? (Get it? "Delivery?") Stronger than Judd Apatow’s last bluntly-titled summer comedy (The 40-Year-Old Virgin), Knocked Up stands up to both scrutiny and high expectations. The film is so funny it’s sure to have another life on DVD where you won’t be missing any of the punch lines because of the audience......

SFist photographer Jim reports that when he passed by, there were three protesters present (including the piñata), greatly outnumbered by members of the press.

Contributing SFist Amanda has gotten herself dressed in fabulous maternity clothes, and she knows how to get the baby out. Now for the part she really got knocked up for -- shopping for baby clothes! Your friends or family (or both, lucky you) probably will throw you a baby shower. Let them. "But my family is crazy and annoying!" Shut up. Just let them. It's a great way to get people to buy you......
