"content": "\u003cp>There are many legendary movies that have used San Francisco's beautiful landscape as a backdrop: Hitchcock's \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052357/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>Vertigo\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Eastwood's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066999/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">Dirty Harry\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, McQueen's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062765/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Bullitt\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> and many, many more that are far too numerable to list here. (That's what the extremely handy book, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Celluloid-San-Francisco-Lovers-Locations/dp/1556525923\">Celluloid San Francisco: The Film Lover's Guide to Bay Area Movie Locations\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is for.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2003 though, an enigmatic figure by the name of \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1382072/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm\">Tommy Wiseau\u003c/a> made a movie in the city that has reached legendary status for all of the wrong reasons. \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368226/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>The Room\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is widely considered one of the worst films of all time, and therefore -- especially in San Francisco -- one of the most beloved on the cult circuit. Wiseau wrote, directed, and acted in \u003cem>The Room,\u003c/em> and the results were, to put it mildly, completely disastrous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE6RQ8rC8hc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Room\u003c/em> has proved to be the gift that keeps on giving ever since its initial release. If you've yet to see it, keep your eye on independent movie theaters all over the Bay Area; it will be showing in at least one of them relatively soon, because it always is. This morning though, a most exciting development emerged online: James Franco is starring as Wiseau in a movie about the making of \u003cem>The Room, \u003c/em>alongside his BFF, Seth Rogen\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on the first teaser, it looks damn funny too:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rir1WzZqwxE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renowned workaholic Franco has a keen eye for, and understanding of, all forms of schlocky entertainment. Lest we forget that he was a regular guest star on daytime soap, \u003cem>General Hospital,\u003c/em> between 2009 and 2012. Over the course of 53 episodes, Franco played a serial killer/ graffiti guy/ modern artist named (ready?) Franco, who terrorized the city of Port Charles, in particular his long-lost brother, Jason. It is honestly one of the greatest things James Franco has ever done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO4e71dqIXI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Point being, if anyone can do the legend that is Tommy Wiseau justice, it's James Franco. Sadly, we have to wait until December 8, 2017 for \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3521126/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>The Disaster Artist\u003c/em>\u003c/a> to hit theaters. In the meantime, you can brush up on your \u003cem>The Room\u003c/em> knowledge by watching this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmEHfX68sv8\u003c/p>\n\n",

He defined the modern template for bringing the scary, gruesome and dead to life on screen, inspiring a myriad of zombies in Hollywood and the more recent high-rated AMC series, \u003cem>The Walking Dead.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romero once told NPR’s Arun Rath in \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2014/07/20/332644099/the-secret-behind-romeros-scary-zombies-i-made-them-the-neighbors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an interview\u003c/a>, “I have a soft spot in my heart for the zombies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that in his work, it’s “usually the humans that are the worst.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romero acknowledged that he used zombies as a vessel for commentary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“They are multi-purpose, you can’t really get angry at them, they have no hidden agendas, they are what they are. I sympathize with them. My stories have always been more about the humans and the mistakes that they’ve make and the zombies are just sort of out there. … They’re the disaster that everyone is facing, but my stories are more about the humans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When Romero created the cult classic \u003cem>Night of the Living Dead\u003c/em> back in 1968, it was on a budget of $100,000 and as the The Associated Press described, featured, “flesh-hungry ghouls trying to feast on humans holed up in a Pennsylvania house.” The film was inducted into the National Registry of Films by the Library of Congress in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many film directors, some of Romero’s movies were successful, others didn’t fare as well at the box-office. Later in life, he struggled to make films. Still, his legacy for reinventing the movie zombie, influencing years of scary movies and leaving imitators in his shadow, remain intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephen King, prolific writer of dark, scary novels, many of them turned into movies, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/886710019756085248\">tweeted\u003c/a> a tribute to Romero: “Sad to hear my favorite collaborator–and good old friend–George Romero has died.

Myths are preoccupied with the origins of things, the how and why of the natural world: fire, the seasons, lightning, the stars in the sky.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe hadn't yet undergone its big bang, filling all of existence with origin stories, until they became inescapable, unignorable, omnipresent — the static hiss of a kind of narrative background radiation that now pervades the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Iron Man 2\u003c/em> arrived three years after the first Spider-Man franchise concluded and two years before a second Spider-Man franchise would commence. Both kicked off with origin stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been several origin movies that tanked so hard they killed franchise opportunities, saving us from a universe in which, say, \u003cem>Green Lantern III: Wasting Still More Of Your Time\u003c/em> is a thing. And there certainly have, over the years, been sequels that were more successful, cinematically and/or financially, than their predecessors:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Many say\u003cem> Superman II\u003c/em> was better than \u003cem>Superman: The Movie\u003c/em>. (I disagree, I prefer the sweep and bombast and myth-building of the Krypton/Kansas stuff in the original to the \"must lose his powers to visit bonetown\" business in the sequel.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There are many who think \u003cem>Batman Returns\u003c/em> outshone \u003cem>Batman\u003c/em>. (I'm a Schumacher defender, so I have no voice in this debate.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>X-Men 2\u003c/em> is generally regarded as superior to \u003cem>X-Men\u003c/em>. (Story-wise — and on the strength of \"Have you tried ... \u003cem>not\u003c/em> being a mutant?\" — I agree.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>Spider-Man 2\u003c/em> is clearly superior to \u003cem>Spider-Man\u003c/em>, in strict accordance with the Better Villain, Better Film Corollary.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>The Dark Knight\u003c/em> > \u003cem>Batman Begins\u003c/em>, see above.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>Captain America: Winter Soldier\u003c/em> is considered superior to \u003cem>Captain America: The First Avenger.\u003c/em> (Don't buy it, personally.

Until \u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Theory, Defeated\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming\u003c/em> dispenses with his origin story completely, which is, at this point, a wise move. Given Spidey's status as Marvel's flagship character and his concurrent cultural saturation, it's perhaps even inevitable, because: We \u003cem>know\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We \u003cem>get\u003c/em> it. Spider-bite, spider powers, great responsibility. We've, all of us, \u003cem>been\u003c/em> there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet! Even without seeing precisely \u003cem>how\u003c/em> and \u003cem>why\u003c/em> Peter Parker gets from the \u003cem>here\u003c/em> of normal life to the \u003cem>there\u003c/em> of fantastic, thwippy powers, Tom Holland is eminently, achingly relatable. His Peter is someone in whom we easily see ourselves at our most excited and anxious. Which is the whole secret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big reason is Holland himself, of course. He is charmingly awkward in the role, and he both acts like a kid, and looks like one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lo! What's that, rising with an epiphanic glow from the smoldering ashes in the burnt-out husk of my Grand Unified Theory of Superhero Cinema? Could it be ... another theory?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A New Theory, Ascendant \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You see, there is \u003cem>another\u003c/em> reason — a big one — that this new Spidey grabs us and earns our empathy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while \u003cem>Homecoming\u003c/em> loses the origin story, it doubles down on another aspect of superhero cinema — one that's featured in every single film that's ever kicked off a superhero franchise and that turns out to be the true secret to their appeal. It's something I hadn't noticed, because while it has been a part of every cinematic superhero origin story, it has always lurked in the shadows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought it was the origin itself — the story logistics that explain where the heroes' powers come from, and why they choose the path they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's not. It's what comes immediately after.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the\u003cem> training montage\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To win our empathy and interest, it's not enough for a superhero to start out like us. We have to see him strive. And struggle. And fail. And start over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is what the training montage does. It mingles delight at the discovery of magical gifts with the hard-won, sometimes brutal knowledge that those gifts must be honed. That it will take work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming\u003c/em>, Peter Parker is forced to relearn everything he knows when he finds himself in the possession of a miraculous, tricked-out new Spidey suit. The trial-and-error (and error, and error) that ensues forms the meat of the film's second act and serves to endear him to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield franchises featured similar scenes in their kickoff movies. The first \u003cem>Iron Man\u003c/em> devoted considerable screen time to Tony Stark's learning to fly ... and fall ... and get fire-extinguished by helpful robots. In \u003cem>Ant-Man,\u003c/em> Paul Rudd found himself repeatedly overmatched by a door's keyhole. Even the dour \u003cem>Man of Steel\u003c/em> admitted a fleeting moment of levity when Superman first took to the sky ... and promptly took a super-header into the frozen tundra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behold, then: \u003cem>The New Unified Theory of Superhero Cinema!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollywood screenwriters: Forget the how and why of their powers. Show us the halting first steps they take as they attempt to use them. We need to see them training. Striving. Working hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Give them their advantages from the get-go. Fine. We get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you want us to care about them, and care deeply, we need to see them \u003cem>earning\u003c/em> those advantages. Through work. And sweat. And by doing that thing that makes them truly universal, endearing, and relatable:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By screwing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2017 NPR.

(I disagree, I prefer the sweep and bombast and myth-building of the Krypton/Kansas stuff in the original to the \"must lose his powers to visit bonetown\" business in the sequel.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There are many who think \u003cem>Batman Returns\u003c/em> outshone \u003cem>Batman\u003c/em>. (I'm a Schumacher defender, so I have no voice in this debate.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>X-Men 2\u003c/em> is generally regarded as superior to \u003cem>X-Men\u003c/em>. (Story-wise — and on the strength of \"Have you tried ... \u003cem>not\u003c/em> being a mutant?\" — I agree.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>Spider-Man 2\u003c/em> is clearly superior to \u003cem>Spider-Man\u003c/em>, in strict accordance with the Better Villain, Better Film Corollary.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>The Dark Knight\u003c/em> > \u003cem>Batman Begins\u003c/em>, see above.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>Captain America: Winter Soldier\u003c/em> is considered superior to \u003cem>Captain America: The First Avenger.\u003c/em> (Don't buy it, personally. I prefer \u003cem>Guns of Navarone\u003c/em> Cap to \u003cem>Parallax View\u003c/em> Cap.)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>But in every other case — and there are a \u003cem>lot\u003c/em> more other cases — superhero sequels have lost steam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So my theory about origin stories had been challenged, but remained, I thought, fundamentally sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now. Until \u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Theory, Defeated\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming\u003c/em> dispenses with his origin story completely, which is, at this point, a wise move. Given Spidey's status as Marvel's flagship character and his concurrent cultural saturation, it's perhaps even inevitable, because: We \u003cem>know\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We \u003cem>get\u003c/em> it. Spider-bite, spider powers, great responsibility. We've, all of us, \u003cem>been\u003c/em> there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet! Even without seeing precisely \u003cem>how\u003c/em> and \u003cem>why\u003c/em> Peter Parker gets from the \u003cem>here\u003c/em> of normal life to the \u003cem>there\u003c/em> of fantastic, thwippy powers, Tom Holland is eminently, achingly relatable. His Peter is someone in whom we easily see ourselves at our most excited and anxious. Which is the whole secret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big reason is Holland himself, of course. He is charmingly awkward in the role, and he both acts like a kid, and looks like one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lo! What's that, rising with an epiphanic glow from the smoldering ashes in the burnt-out husk of my Grand Unified Theory of Superhero Cinema? Could it be ... another theory?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A New Theory, Ascendant \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You see, there is \u003cem>another\u003c/em> reason — a big one — that this new Spidey grabs us and earns our empathy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while \u003cem>Homecoming\u003c/em> loses the origin story, it doubles down on another aspect of superhero cinema — one that's featured in every single film that's ever kicked off a superhero franchise and that turns out to be the true secret to their appeal. It's something I hadn't noticed, because while it has been a part of every cinematic superhero origin story, it has always lurked in the shadows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought it was the origin itself — the story logistics that explain where the heroes' powers come from, and why they choose the path they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's not. It's what comes immediately after.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the\u003cem> training montage\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To win our empathy and interest, it's not enough for a superhero to start out like us. We have to see him strive. And struggle. And fail. And start over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is what the training montage does. It mingles delight at the discovery of magical gifts with the hard-won, sometimes brutal knowledge that those gifts must be honed. That it will take work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming\u003c/em>, Peter Parker is forced to relearn everything he knows when he finds himself in the possession of a miraculous, tricked-out new Spidey suit. The trial-and-error (and error, and error) that ensues forms the meat of the film's second act and serves to endear him to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield franchises featured similar scenes in their kickoff movies. The first \u003cem>Iron Man\u003c/em> devoted considerable screen time to Tony Stark's learning to fly ... and fall ... and get fire-extinguished by helpful robots. In \u003cem>Ant-Man,\u003c/em> Paul Rudd found himself repeatedly overmatched by a door's keyhole. Even the dour \u003cem>Man of Steel\u003c/em> admitted a fleeting moment of levity when Superman first took to the sky ... and promptly took a super-header into the frozen tundra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behold, then: \u003cem>The New Unified Theory of Superhero Cinema!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollywood screenwriters: Forget the how and why of their powers. Show us the halting first steps they take as they attempt to use them. We need to see them training. Striving. Working hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Give them their advantages from the get-go. Fine. We get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you want us to care about them, and care deeply, we need to see them \u003cem>earning\u003c/em> those advantages. Through work. And sweat. And by doing that thing that makes them truly universal, endearing, and relatable:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m a black playwright. I don’t know exactly what that means. But I’m here to tell you a story.” And then Gardner puts on whiteface, as another actor dons redface to play an American Indian. There’s blackface too, so, as Jamedra says, if you’re not offended in some way, you’re not paying attention. Much of the play is Jacobs-Jenkins deconstruction of a 19th Century melodrama by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrehistory.com/irish/boucicault001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dion Boucicault\u003c/a> about the fate of a Southern plantation. But there’s also running commentary on what it’s like to be an African American on the American stage. Br’er Rabbit gets a part too, and just when you think it’s okay to laugh at the racist attitudes of characters from 160 years ago, Jacobs-Jenkins slaps you with an image or line forcing you to recognize how things haven’t changed very much at all.

This West Coast premiere from \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/branden-jacobs-jenkins-from-the-heart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Branden Jacobs-Jenkins\u003c/a> opens with actor Lance Gardner speaking: “\u003c/span>Hi everyone. I’m a black playwright. I don’t know exactly what that means. But I’m here to tell you a story.” And then Gardner puts on whiteface, as another actor dons redface to play an American Indian. There’s blackface too, so, as Jamedra says, if you’re not offended in some way, you’re not paying attention. Much of the play is Jacobs-Jenkins deconstruction of a 19th Century melodrama by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatrehistory.com/irish/boucicault001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dion Boucicault\u003c/a> about the fate of a Southern plantation. But there’s also running commentary on what it’s like to be an African American on the American stage. Br’er Rabbit gets a part too, and just when you think it’s okay to laugh at the racist attitudes of characters from 160 years ago, Jacobs-Jenkins slaps you with an image or line forcing you to recognize how things haven’t changed very much at all.

That's his \u003cem>thing\u003c/em>. His other thing? White. Dude loves wearing white -- even after Labor Day, like the wild man that he is!

That's his \u003cem>thing\u003c/em>. His other thing? White. Dude loves wearing white -- even after Labor Day, like the wild man that he is!

Hard to imagine, right? Maybe the issue isn't the tightness of Pitbull's clothes, but rather the hetero of Pitbull's sexuality. (Rumors about his potential gay status have been splashed all over the internet for years -- probably thanks in part to his wardrobe -- despite a string of \u003ca href=\"https://hitberry.com/rapper-pitbull-who-is-his-girlfriend-what-s-his-relation-with-barbara-alba-any-flings-or-not/\">relationships \u003c/a>with women and two children who were, as far as we know, conceived the old fashioned way.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the ladykiller vibes Pitbull portrays in his videos don't line up with his wardrobe -- at least according to what virile heterosexual men are \"supposed\" to wear -- we should applaud Pitbull as both a fashion rebel and a gender-role challenger.
