| AC/DC, The Answer Oracle Arena | Thu., December 4, 8:00pm | East Oakland | |
 Reliability. It’s underrated. Who even thinks about a car that starts every time? Until the one time it doesn’t. AC/DC is like that. The band rocks. And that’s all it does. The music isn’t complicated. It’s Phil Rudd’s simple drumming. It’s Cliff... More >> |

| Book Talk & Signing with Nancy Pelosi California Historical Society Museum | Thu., December 4, 6:00pm | Union Square/Financial District | |
 Last week in an Arkansas Sam's Club, Mike Huckabee, taking a break from his new, unwatchable FOX show, signed more than 800 copies of his book in a line that stretched beyond Lawn and Garden. Gotta give it to him — the minister has a talent for extending the brand. George Bush, no... More >> |

| Aries Spears Cobb's Comedy Club | Thu., December 4, 7:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 Here’s how you save network sketch comedy: You kill it. We’re halfway there. MadTV, after 13 years of surprising viewers by remaining on the air, is down to its last episodes. Perhaps it will reinvent itself on some cable channel and never be heard from again, like the Whitest Kids... More >> |

| Sébastian Tellier, Hearts Revolution, Lilofee, Beat Electric DJs Black Shag, B.T. Magnum, & Safety Scissors Mezzanine | Thu., December 4, 9:00pm | South of Market | |
 When French pop arose fresh-faced and well-coiffed in the early ’60s, few would have pictured it a generation later in the hands of a guy who looks like a biker in casual Yves Saint-Laurent. But gaze into the hairy, shaded face of Sebastien Tellier (after you listen to his new album,... More >> |

| Dream of Life Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., December 6 | Haight/Fillmore | |
 If Patti Smith's narration to Dream of Life was simplified into a stanza, it might go something like this: As long as I can remember I sought to be free/Bob Dylan once tuned this guitar for me/My mission is to give people my energy/Fred, Jesse, and Jackson are my family tree/New generations,...

| "Enigmas and Eternity: The Films of Alain Robbe-Grillet" Yerba Buena Center for the Arts |
Every week Sunday from Thu., December 4 until Thu., December 18, 2:00pm more dates/times |
South of Market | |
 The groundbreaking French novelist and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, who died in February, was a sly and good-natured provocateur. His screenplay for Alain Resnais’ watershed 1961 romantic drama, Last Year at Marienbad, introduced the arthouse crowd to a strain of bemused existentialism... More >> |

| A Christmas Tale Bridge Theatre | Daily | Richmond (Inner) | |
 A Christmas Tale feels like all 12 days of seasonal merriment, and then some. This comic, ultimately touching family melodrama is a heady plum pudding of a movie—studded with outsized performances and drenched in cinematic brio. The concoction is over-rich, yet irresistible. The narrative... More >> |

| The Culture Bus Howard and New Montgomery | Daily | South of Market | |
 We all love to bag on Muni. It's late, it's dirty, somebody peed. But the bus system appears to have done something very right this time. The Culture Bus, the 74X line, roves the city from museum to landmark to tea garden, every day. Pay the fare, ride all day, and you're set. No parking, no... More >> |

| Slumdog Millionaire Embarcadero Center Cinema | Daily | Embarcadero | |
 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Well, who wouldn’t in this economy, even if the currency in question is rupees and winning the loot means being pegged as a fraud, getting a firsthand education in “enhanced” interrogation methods? Such is the fate that greets Jamal, the 18-year-old... More >> |

| "Ecdisis" Galeria de la Raza | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Wed., November 26 until Sat., January 10 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Somehow it's an art-school cliché that political art is bad. We're often grateful to those who ignore such horseshit; at the moment, that artist is Bay Arean Ana Teresa Fernández, aka the girl with a rocket, since she's blowing up so fast. At "Ecdisis," she shows sculptural work,... More >> |

| The Golden Girls Christmas Episodes Mama Calizo's Voice Factory |
Every week Thursday from Thu., December 4 until Thu., December 18, 7:00pm more dates/times |
South of Market | |
| Picture local drag performer Matthew Martin, one hand outstretched towards a man in a disheveled Santa suit. Martin (as Rue McClanahan) calls out to fellow thespian Pollo Del Mar (as Betty White), who's busy showing Santa the door: "Rose! I had to stand in line for an hour to sit on his lap!"...

| "The Impact Curve" Marx & Zavattero | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Wed., December 24 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 If 2001: A Space Odyssey had a mod color scheme and had been animated by M.C. Escher ... wait, no. If Wall-E's matte painters took psychedelic mushrooms while in a very bitter mood ... no, no. The truth about William Swanson's work at "The Impact Curve" is that it is its own self, like all good... More >> |

| "The Beatles in India: Creativity and Inner Peace" San Francisco Art Exchange | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., December 20 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 Paul Salzman's photos of the Beatles in Hrishikesh, India in 1968 are reeeeeally interesting. At first glance, they're the snapshots of a nosy fan: Paul McCartney's practically picking his nose, everyone's squinting like regular people do in sunlight, and John Lennon looks directly at the...

| "Vehicles of Emancipation" Varnish Fine Art | Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., January 10 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 The only thing more fun to fantasize about than the circus is pirates, so a show that promises art inspired by both is irresistible. The San Francisco artists known as the Oyster Pirate Collective take their name from the down-and-dirty 19th-century practice of pilfering from oyster farms, back... More >> |
