  VINYL IS HEAVY — Authority: 124
  by Ryland Walker Knight The day after I returned to the Bay Area, I saw the new PFA film calendar online and tweeted twice ( 1 , 2 ) about it.

  Big Hollywood — Authority: 814
  There was a time when an “adult film” meant a movie by , for and about adults, not a tawdry tale of some tatted-up, dead-eyed 19-year old with daddy issues numbly coupling in front of a video camera for the gratification of leering, backward-hatted frat boys and twitchy loners with DSL.  They don’t make ...
