Posted from The Citrus Report
The SFGate and the SF Chronicle today have an article on Dan Dion, a photographer who happens to shoot photos of comedians when they are not on stage.He is the house photographer of the Punch Line is SF, and has a new book out, Satiristas!: Comedians, Contrarians, Raconteurs & Vulgarians. We just like this one line he had to say: “Funny pictures have a rapidly descending half-life. Each time you see it, it’s half as funny.”

David Choe’s “Dirty Hands” documentary gets great review in SF Chronicle, now playing in San Francisco

“David Choe’s “Dirty Hands” documentary gets great review in SF Chronicle, now playing in San Francisco” posted from: The Citrus Report | Art, Culture, News, Graffiti, Music, Street Art, Clothing, Politics, Reviews
Looks like San Francisco likes David Choe. Dirty Hands got a really good review from the SF Chronicle this weekend, with a really good line from the reviewer, “You feel engaged. Bored. Exhilarated. Offended. Illuminated. Disoriented. All in the same minute.”
And this one is good too, “All in all, Choe’s self-indulgent, adolescent exploits make for a fascinating, if somewhat jumbled, journey. It’s not every day that you run into a street artist, petty thief, porn illustrator, lesbian fiction ghost writer, world traveler, graphic novelist, muralist, sex addict and born-again Christian, all rolled into one.
Kim set out to make a renegade film about a renegade genius. And that he did.”
Go see the movie at the Roxie Theater this week.
