[Marxism] "The Battle of Algiers" playing in San Francisco, CA, too



This past week San Francisco TV reporters typically set up their
backgrounds for shots in the Castro District for their reports on the
Gay Marriage brouhaha. Maybe this might appear one day on SATs: The
Castro is the __________ on the West Coast as The Village/Christopher
Street in Manhattan is for the East Coast. (They didn?t name that
street after me, darlings, so don?t get catty!).
Pick one to fill in the blank:
a. The headquarters for Cuban revolutionaries.
b. Couch bed superstore.
c. Gay center
d. Hockey Hall of Fame.
(The answer--¡oh, sí, señor!--: "c." Too many hints!)

SO the obvious landmark of the Castro is the Castro Theater because of
its big, pink neon marquee that screams in capital letters, simply:
CASTRO. Perfect for TV reporters to situate their spots on gay stuff.
Everyone gets it. It SO happens that this past week the motion picture
that played at the Castro was none other than The Battle of Algiers. As
the millionaire-everyone-loves-to-hate Montgomery Burns would say:
?Exssssellent!?

Hhmmnnn...?
