Castro Theatre: San Francisco's Repertory Circus Freak Show is a seriously satirical take on the witless mutation(via abysmal film programming and freaky clown "performers")of this magnificent movie palace from a pure repertory cinema to a perverted multi-function "venue," stressing over movies mob-scene circus freak shows-euphemistically called "live events"-put on mostly by profiteering, rip-off, self-styled "impresario," MARC HUESTIS PRESENTS! It's likewise a protest document taking strong exception to the theatre's corruption by the severely ILL MENTALITY of CLUBBY CRONYISM in general and the amateurish adolescent antics of a petty but representative clique of sycophant groupies in particular-Mark Bowen, Marc Huestis, August("Augie")Ragone, Tony Talbert and Will the DULL Viharo-a couple of whom acted as self-appointed CENSORS by FALSELY FLAGGING a critical FACEBOOK page "for content containing nudity, pornography or sexual solicitation" to un-publish it. Its pointed message to all humdrum film "hosts" remains the same: stop imposing yourself on captive audiences and boring them to tears, get off the frigging stage and screen the frigging FLICK! It delivers, finally, a powerful object lesson in FREE SPEECH and EXPRESSION in defiance of CENSORSHIP by boldly challenging any and all would-be CENSORS to: TRY AND CENSOR THIS!
