  • “Before Midnight” is the third film in a trilogy directed by Richard Linklater, which began with “Before Sunrise” in 1995. In that film, the young American Jesse meets the French Celine on a train, and in the second film, “Before Sunset,” they are reunited in Paris after nine years. In the new film, nine more years have passed, and Jesse and Celine are a couple with twin girls. If you’ve ever wondered what a film codirected by Woody Allen and Ingmar Bergman might look like — “Scenes From a Marriage” by way of “Annie Hall” — “Before Midnight” is about as close as you will get.

    Presented by SFMOMA in partnership with the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, eight monumentally scaled sculptures by Mark di Suvero rise at historic Crissy Field this May for a free yearlong exhibition. Set against the backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge, a structure that has inspired the artist throughout his career, di Suvero’s dynamic steel sculptures frame and reframe the surrounding landscape in surprising new ways. The exhibition brings together works from across the country, dating from 1967 to 2012, celebrating five decades of work by the acclaimed artist.”

Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:
“Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she’d already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn’t seen her in a long time. And she started doing, “I’ve got to go,” and she was just going to leave, and I was like, “Going to leave?” It felt like she was going to really leave forever.So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, “She’s leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda’s leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?”We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, “She’s leaving, I don’t know if you’ve said good-bye to her.” And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know. And because these people were really funny, every person we’d drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.It was just one of the best parties I’ve ever been to in my life. I’ll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her.”

Just in time for today’s annual bike to work day in San Francisco, the SFMTA has installed bike lanes on Oak Street, filling a three block gap in a route that runs from the ocean to the bay.
Even though the gap has meant upwards of 1,500 cyclists per day sharing a lane - not always successfully - with traffic running 40 miles per hour on the one-way street, the SFMTA had resisted making bike safety improvements in order to preserve all three traffic lanes as well as the two lanes of free parking on the either side of the street.
Dedicated a single lane of traffic on just one of the dozens of east-west streets is not an unreasonable request.

  • Built on a wider VW Beetle chassis, the Karmann Ghia took its name from the German coachbuilder that assembled it and the Italian design company that shaped its pretty lines. The car was introduced as a coupe in 1955, with a convertible added in 1957. Both were built until 1974. (via My Other Car Is: A 1965 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia - NYTimes.com)

  • Seen and Not Seen / 1980

     

    He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books….
    He thought that some of these faces might be right for him….And
    through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his
    mind….Or somewhere in the back of his mind….That he might, by
    force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal….The
    change would be very subtle….It might take ten years or so….
    Gradually his face would change its’ shape….A more hooked nose…
    Wider, thinner lips….Beady eyes….A larger forehead.
    He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
    people….They had also molded their faced according to some
    ideal….Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
    suit their personality….Or maybe they imagined that their
    personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear-
    ance….This is why first impressions are often correct…
    Although some people might have made mistakes….They may have
    arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them….
    They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
    whim, or momentary impulse….Some may have gotten half-way
    there, and then changed their minds.
    He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake

  • “Because creativity, after all, is a combinatorial force. It’s our ability to tap into the mental pool of resources — ideas, insights, knowledge, inspiration — that we’ve accumulated over the years just by being present and alive and awake to the world, and to combine them in extraordinary new ways. In order for us to truly create and contribute to the world, we have to be able to connect countless dots, to cross-pollinate ideas from a wealth of disciplines, to combine and recombine these ideas and build new ideas — like LEGOs. The more of these building blocks we have, and the more diverse their shapes and colors, the more interesting our creations will become.”
