After heading out to play in the Civic Center during the Gay Pride festivities and Gay Inc.-related parties and whatnot, be sure to check out Life Before the Lifeboat on KQED. Airing this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. It will be well worth your time as you comedown from your Corona-induced high. more ›

We just looked at the SFist Watches we posted last Christmas and you know what? The TV offerings are basically the same this year! more ›

Welcome to the fifth and final edition of this week's SFist Watches TV This Week extravaganza! We can hardly believe how quickly the week has gone, nor how many shows we've watched. And thank God it's Friday, because that means our viewing choices are, thanfully, a lot slimmer than they were last night. more ›

We're deep in the heart of Fall premieres, and there's just no way all of our amazing commentary can be crammed into one measly post. So this week we'll be bringing you an "SFist Watches TV" post every damn day!! Contain your excitement! We have to get started! more ›

"SFist Watches TV" returns to the schedule on a new night...er, day, to better help you make sense of what the boob tube has to offer for the week ahead. more ›

Those of you who read SFist Watches have probably deduced that your Junkie's TV viewing habits consist solely of KRON 4 News at 11 and Animal Cops SF. (It's not entirely true -- sometimes we watch Robot Chicken.) But we're making an exception tomorrow! Instead of our usual 7:30 p.m. routine (viz, watching Wheel of Fortune over our usual dinner of Lucky Charms and Trader Joe beer), we're tuning in to see ..... none other than our beloved editor-in-chief SFist Jackson MAKING HIS TELEVISION DEBUT!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeee-ha! Jackson's this week's talking head on local politics TV show SF Unscripted on Comcast Channel 11, hosted by local Republican Arthur Bruzzoni (he's the guy up left). He's talking about (what else?) blogging in local politics -- with unrepentant blogger and District 5 candidate Mr. h. brown. Check out Jackson sporting his cool pink shirt! Rrrowr! What's the SFist staff doing while Jackson rockets to fame? Drinking game! Play along with us tomorrow at 7:30! (Jackson, h., and Art Bruzzoni reair Thursday at 6:30, Friday at 8, and Saturday at 8:30).

at some crappy multiplex. Yuck. more ›

SFist isn't even gonna play like we think you have any other moviegoing options this week besides the SFIAAFF this weekend. We are talking about the biggest damn Asian film festival in the country, 131 movies in 11 days, so how can you say you'll be seeing anything else? Take a look at the schedule of screenings and buy now, shows are selling out even as we type this. We'll be covering Sunday. Don't all of those look so great? Come out and see them with us -- if you ask nice, we'll even share our Red Vines with you. more ›

SFist enjoys the who big-ass spectacle that is the Oscars, but we have to admit that we've always been really bad at seeing the nominated movies. They all just look so, we don't know, educational or something! Assuming you're not quite as dumb or lazy as we are, perhaps you've seen all the nominated films already. But if you haven't, SFist has you covered. more ›

SFist admits that we already have plans to see , which we hear is crap but the opportunity to see friends we haven't seen in ages, plus a pan from LaSalle makes us psyched to see it. That we're actually leaving the house, cats, and dog to see this movie in an actual theater in enough to make this film our Big Budget Pick of the Week, and we'll see you at one of our Bay Area Matroplexes. more ›

We knew it was coming, but we're still weren't ready when the news came down. SFist's beloved Coronet Theater is closing its doors forever this Sunday, in preparation for demolition by the owner of the property, The Institute on Aging. more ›

SFist Cares is going to tread a bit on the turf of SFist Watches: Movies and tell you about something you can do to support a good cause and still sit on your ass all weekend. more ›

Oh, dear. LaSalle liked Who Killed Bambi?, our other hotly anticipated film opening this weekend. And 23 Yahoo users have given the film a D+ rating, which bodes doubly ill for it. But it's playing at the glorious Castro, so even if this thriller about a drug-crazed doctor stalking a student nurse is crap, we feel primed for campy fun. more ›

Because SFist is ready for simpler times, when perhaps the country wasn't shrill shades of read and blue, but rather a more velvety purple, we're quite excited about this weekend's Sing-a-Long Purple Rain in celebration of the film's 20th anniversary. Things get all Lake Minnetoka this Saturday at midnight, at the Bridge Theatre (3010 Geary at Blake, Inner Richmond). It's the last showing of the Midnight Mass movie series, a favorite of SFist Watches, and is hosted as usual by local sensation Peaches Christ. Bring a lighter and lacy, fingerless gloves. more ›
