DRUGSTORE COWBOY SUNDAY AUGUST 24TH WHISTLE STOP BAR, 4PM While Ralph Macchio went on to star in the heart-warming Karate Kid, Matt Dillon moved onto the darker role of a pill addict in Drugstore Cowboy. Dillon plays Bob, the jittery mastermind of his pharmaceutical heisting ring. Along with him for each heist is his frustrated wife Diane, his loyal partner Rick and Rick’s girlfriend Nadine. Drugstore Cowboy is an early entry from director Gus Van Sant and he treats the theme of the addict with more grace than most - making them neither heros nor villians. And a bonus - cult author William S. Burroughs makes a memorable appearance as the aging junkie Tom the Priest. |

NEW LOCAL DESIGNS IN-STORE Fire & Flowers by Brooke Evans In line with our thinking of delivering you movies with individual, independent expression, we're also all about delivering you local products with individual, independent expression. Our newest offering in that arena are the new designs of Fire and Flowers, a product line by local crafter Brook Evans. Included are t-shirts with appliques (like the one right over there), journals, and hand-stamped jewelry with the cool little sayings (some of them are even lines from movies). Brooke is in the shop often and can make custom shirts or jewelry on request. |
| NOW IN THEATERS :The Last Mistress Set in 19th century France, this sumptuous drama chronicles the love affair between tempestuous Spanish mistress Vellini (Asia Argento at her most seductive) and distinguished, well-bred Ryno de Marigny (Fu'ad Ait Aattou). Ryno's attempt to remain faithful to his wife Hermangarde (Roxane Mesquida), a highly regarded young woman of the French aristocracy, profoundly fails as Vellini reappears in Ryno's life, offering him the passion and emotional connection he lacks in his marriage. His reluctant obsession with Vellini eventually overtakes his conscience, as he succumbs to the deceitful path of infidelity. Written and directed by Catherine Breillat (Sex is Comedy, Fat Girl, Romance). |

| This Summer: Pineapple Express We here at Citizen Video love David Gordon Green, who made his name with the ultra-indie George Washington, as well as All the Real Girls and Undertow and the upcoming Snow Angels. We also love Judd Apatow, responsible for Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, and Superbad, among others. So when we heard the Apatow had hand-picked Green for a big stoner-action-buddy-comedy to be released in summer 2008, we couldn't help but get a little excited. From a script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who wrote Superbad together (and we know Rogen from his starring turns as well), Pineapple involves a pothead, Rogen, and his dealer, James Franco, who are witnesses to a murder and must elude both the folks who would like to see them dead as well as the cops who think they're responsible, all because of the best pot ever, Pineapple Express. Here's the Red Band trailer that just popped up. |

THE WORD IS OUT |
| In case you didn't catch the buzz going on about Citizen, check out these recent great articles. David Elliott, of the Union-Tribune, wrote this article that appeared in last Sunday's art section. And for some less mainstream media, check our article in Blogsandiego. Keith Boyd did a great job capturing the essence and motivation behind Citizen. |
