Claire Danes has a lot of achievements under her belt. Awards, accolades, Emmy nods, cult followings, and so on. But we think she is actually most famous for her Cry-Face. You heard it here first, folks (if you haven't seen the Internet in a decade). Claire Danes has taken that pain-filled, shaky chin, spit-bubbling mug all the way from Little Women (1994) to Homeland (now), and thanks to teh Intertubez, we have a compilation of her Cry-Face career.

The Consumerist

The classroom of tomorrow!

The multinational plutocrat kabillionaires at Bank of America have taken a break from laying off everyone ever and pledging mysterious "help" to the presidential campaign of Rick Perry, the famous George W. Bush fan-fiction character. Now, Bank of America and the nonprofit Bizworld are bussing elementary children into the B-of-A and Merrill Lynch offices in downtown San Francisco for a two-day "camp" in "business, entrepreneurship, and money management."

Those quotes come from an important press release we just got sent on this subject. It also says:

"[Bank of America], which continues to struggle under the weight of
bad mortgage assets, is planning to cut 3,500 jobs, on top of the
2,500 reductions year to date, according to an internal memo written
by the company's chief executive, Brian T. Moynihan. And more could
follow, with the total number of layoffs potentially reaching 10,000."

Oops! That's from The New York Times! Turns out we lost the press release from BizWorld, BOA, and Merril Lynch, because, well, who cares.

Little Shop of Horrors

Through June 26 at Boxcar Playhouse, 505 Natoma (at 6th), SF. $20-50; 776-1747 www.boxcartheatre.org.

For this production of the campy classic, the inventive Boxcar Theatre converts their entire space, including lobby and outdoor façade, into a skid-row flower shop. The opening number, complete with a live accordion brass band, spills out into the SOMA alleyway, and actors, costumed as homeless people, mingle with real homeless folk wandering through, submerging the audience in this grimy world.

Once inside, the B-movie plotline centers around an ever-growing plant hungry for human blood.
In Boxcar's vision, all this involves song, security video footage, blood-splattered plastic draping, and a chorus of grungy street urchins.
