What Would Jesus Buy?
=v= It's out just in time for the Xmas Resistance Non-Shopping Season: What Would Jesus Buy? is a documentary about Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping, who last year went on a nationwide tour to the heart of the nation's Shopocalypse.
The movie might well be playing at a theatre near you. Check the What Would Jesus Buy? website for details (and have fun watching the trailer).
The premiere presents a bit of a conundrum here in San Francisco because the movie is showing on Buy Nothing Day. However, if you are an elf and want to join the Buy Nothing Day Elf Strike, you can get a free ticket. Contact andy dot blue at yahoo dot com for details.
=v= Word is they have enough elves for the strike, but all are invited to join in solidarity with the strikers, Friday at Noon at the Powell & Market turnaround.
San Franciscans who want to see the movie can get tickets online if they wish to avoid buying them on Buy Nothing Day. "Chicken John" Rinaldi has suggested that people buy them and not attend ("If the theatres are sold out, and half empty, ... we have a new innovative way to influence power."), but I think that if folks want to buy extra tickets they might as well hand them out to folks for free.

=v= D'oh! My apologies for not mentioning that it's pretty much the same deal in Berkeley. Tickets online today, movie at the Shattuck tomorrow.
