'This American Life—Live!' FILM / CONFLICT OF INTEREST / RADIO
'This American Life—Live!'

Have you seen Ira Glass's adorable little face? And have you seen his adorable little face really, really big on a great big screen? (The adorableness gets BIGGER.) Yes, this whole live-broadcast-radio-movie thing is slightly weird, but I can think of few things as reliably entertaining as This American Life. This show—"Return to the Scene of the Crime"—includes uniformly excellent performances from Mike Birbiglia, Starlee Kine, and Joss Whedon (singing!), and a show-stealing story about church and death by our own Dan Savage. (Alderwood 7, 3501 184th St SW, Lynnwood, www.fandango.com. 8 pm, $18.) by Lindy West

Yep, I'm going back to see it again tonight - what I've been referring to my friends as 'returning to Return to the Scene of the Crime".

And like last time will probably be still in tears for my whole drive back home.

Why doesn't SLOG acknowledge the conflict of interest over this event - repeated let alone the first time around - being shown at Cinemark theaters all over California?

I'm not trying to indict Dan Savage or tar and feather him or even hurt his pride.

I think an acknowledgment that a sold out crowd in San Francisco where the only option is at a Cinemark theater is the least Dan Savage could do.

C'mon Dan - there is a boycott in place. The CEO of Cinemark gave $9.999 to the Yes on Prop 8 campaign. You support all the boycotts that were launched after election day.

Say something - to us at least, if not to TAL about this horrible situation.
