GiveawaysWin free stuff including tickets to movies, concerts, clubs and events: View AllHouse ArrestMar 18, 2020 - by Richard Von BusackYou wanted a staycation, you said. You need to catch up on streaming, you said. Well, the magic elf that lives in the sky certainly gave you what you wanted. During this period of house arrest, Netflix's cornucopia continues to spill narcos, zombies and real-life crime. Take a hard pass in favor of the adventures of a Suffolk sheep. A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon cites ET, Men in Black, Doctor Who and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The space invader is about a yard high, a sort of mischievous finger puppet shaped critter with tentacles. Topped with an azure puppyish head, he's a deep-space cousin to Peanuts' Snoopy. Shaun helps him phone home, while warding off trouble from the Ministry of Alien Detection, and the authoritarian Read MoreReview: 'The Night'Mar 11, 2020 - by Richard Von BusackGiven the current political crises, it's hard to see films by the new generation of directors following Jafar Panahi (This Is Not a Film), Mohsen Makhmalbaf (Kandahar) or Abbas Kiarostami (A Taste of Cherry, Certified Copy). Bretow notes, "We were surprised to find out that many American moviegoers weren't familiar with the renown of Iran's national cinema ... With The Night, we wanted to make something that honored that authentic humanity. Like the Iranian cinema that has come before it, The Night doesn't wear all of its secrets on the surface. We set out to create a film layered in meaning." Read MorePandemic PoeticSep 9, 2020 - by Kyle MartinJanice Lobo Sapigao didn't expect her first year as the Santa Clara County Poet Laureate would be sucker punched by a global pandemic, but she's determined not to let that stop her from getting South Bay kids to love their own words. The Silicon Valley native took over the two-year poet laureate position in January. The honorary post comes with a mandate to increase poetry awareness and celebration. Sapigao, a Filipina American poet, author, writer, educator and active community member, has plenty of ideas for that. Read MorePost No BillsMar 18, 2020 - by Metro StaffThe text on the marquee said it all: "The Ritz Closed Until Further Notice." The news came as a disappointment to fans of Xavier Dprehpaulezz--the imaginative blues singer and songwriter who performs under the moniker Fantastic Negrito--who was scheduled to wow the crowds at The Ritz on March 19. As the county and state ramp up efforts to prevent a spike in novel coronavirus cases, bars, nightclubs and live music venues are shutting down, and it is unclear when they will open again. Read MoreAll Talk, No SenseMar 11, 2020 - by Wallace BaineTalk, talk everywhere but not a drop of trust. "Opinion has become our driving force," says Quinn, who brings his new show, The Wrong Side of History, to Stanford for four performances March 13 and 14. "Free speech, exchange of opinion, open communication: These things are automatically thought of as evolutionary ways to get to enlightenment. But my whole show is, hey, maybe we've gone too far with free speech, once we have electronically made opinion this thing that everyone gives out all day, every day." Read MoreMyth UniverseSep 23, 2020 - by Steve PalopoliStroker's win was praised as both deserved and historic, considering the awards had gone 73 years without even nominating an artist in a wheelchair. But at the same time, the Tonys came under massive criticism for an ironic twist in the ceremony: it wasn't wheelchair accessible. Instead of making her way to the stage to the applause of the theater world like her fellow winners, Stroker had to emerge from backstage to claim her award. The situation generated next-day headlines like "Ali Stroker's Tony Win Was Monumental ... and a Huge Slap in the Face." Read MoreSilicon Alleys: Bird ThoughtsSep 23, 2020 - by Gary SinghI disembarked at the Lawrence Caltrain Station intending to complain about piles of ugly condos, but ghosts of dead pigeons prevented me from doing so. Now, I have a long history with pigeons, so let me explain. In 2007, the Mercury News kept fawning and fawning over the peregrine falcons nesting at the new San Jose City Hall. At the time, I was a restless, irritable and discontent person whose nervous system didn't exactly process the outside world very well, so as a knee-jerk response I wrote about dead pigeons at the Lawrence Caltrain Station. Call it oppositional defiant disorder if you must, but it happened entirely by accident. Read MoreFree Will Astrology: Week of September 23, 2020Sep 23, 2020 - by Rob Brezsny"It takes a lot of courage to be the same person on the outside that you are on the inside." Author Barbara De Angelis made that observation. I offer it up to you as a fun challenge. During the coming weeks, you may be strongly tempted to be different on the outside than you are on the inside. On the other hand, you'll have the necessary insight and valor to remain unified. In fact, you may ultimately create more congruence between your inside and outside than you have in a long time. Read MoreSilicon Alleys: This Old HauntSep 16, 2020 - by Gary SinghLast week, on a quiet prowl through the half-empty Cambrian Park Plaza, the desolation was inspiring. Amid semi-unhealthy air quality, the doomed plaza made me think of a recent quote by novelist Fatima Farheen Mirza: "Ghosts are misunderstood. So haunted they seek to haunt. But beneath their antics and their anger, their desire is simple, childlike. Look at me, they seem to say, I'm not ready to be invisible yet." One must summon the ghosts and wrestle with them before setting them free. And writing was a way of doing that. Read More380 S.
