The eternal struggle between good and evil, as conceived by Robert Louis Stevenson, makes for a handsome Hollywood chiller. Spencer Tracy plays the doctor who cant resist messing with mother nature. Enter his horrific alter ego, Hyde. Originally, Lana Turner was to play the tarty barmaid, with Ingrid Bergman slated for the role of Jekylls ultra-sweet fiance. Director Victor Gone With The Wind Fleming, at Bergmans urging, reversed the casting. (1941 - Warner Bros.) 114 Min.

Brooklyn Fake Olympix It is time, once again, friends, to honor the ridiculous, the absurd, the criminalized, the funny, the stupid, and the incompetent. We too are victims of Olympic fever. The torch is lit this Friday night, and continues throughout the rest of the actual Olympic timeline. Why go to Greece when you can get drunk right here? Williamsburg will be the real Olympic village soon enough, and while we may have lost archery, we still have diving and volleyball.
It is decreed that all amateur sporting events -- of any kind -- taking place during the Olympic timeframe are automatically Brooklyn Fake Olympix events.
In the meantime: Opening Ceremonies. A canyon-bandit ambush style secret waterballoon attack and waterballoon gang war. Plus fireworks. Arrive peaceably. Prepare your own waterballoons. This event will start as a canyon bandit style ambush. Be on time. locate everyone else, find your hiding places for the ambush. Just waterballoons, please. No objects, no food fights. Once the battle has begun feel free to turn on your neighbors. Betray whom you wish.
Saturday: Olympic blackout re-enactment. Voluntary citywide blackout. Throw a blackout party! This is a competition between blackout parties! No individual competitors. All competitors must video document their event. Use night vision.
Sunday: Olympic summer kickball, finals. There are four teams remaining. Brand-new teams welcome as wild-card. Brawls sometimes start. Mascots and cheerleaders welcome. Each team just bring $32 to pay for use of the lights. This is a night game. 6p McCaren Park, lower northern field.
Upcoming: Omnisex (gentlemens) leisure tennis, fire golf (formal, mens, womens, for distance), stuntman triatholon (falling out of trees, jumping into dumpsters, bicycle wipeout), Olympic erotic dancing, cops and robbers track and field (fake mustaches, ski masks, stockinged head, undercover cops, beat cops), Olympic Santeria (amateur ceremonial witchcraft, floor routine), All in the Olympic village.
To be clear: The Brooklyn Fake Olympix is a peaceful gang warfare themed event. Individual athletes may represent themselves, their country, or their social affiliations, as they see fit. The Brooklyn Fake Olympix recognizes that drug use can hinder an athlete's performance as much as enhance it, and so has no drug policy toward any drug that is not performance-enhancing. All other rules will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
The Brooklyn Fake Olympix has no formal affiliation with the government of Greece, any people actually from Greece, or the notoriously corrupt international Olympic committee.

Nas at Summerstage Okay, this isn't free, which usually makes us mad when it comes to Summerstage (if you are going to wait on line for 4 hour for an event, best be free is what we say) but this one is worth it. Nas entered the running with his 1994 debut Illmatic, which established him as an urban poet, but lost credibility with his MTV-friendly follow-ups. Yet, his resolution and cocksure conviction have kept him in the game. A few response singles and a compilation of bootlegs later, Nasty Nas seems determined to revitalize his image as the ghetto prophet from Queensbridge with the upcoming double-disc release, Street's Disciple. With only four dates this summer, longtime and one-time fans alike should capitalize on this chance to see a raw talent that refuses to be stifled.

Look out for the Williamsburg Music & Art Festical and Charley Parker Jazz Festival. Oh, and if you have a few bucks left, make sure to support out at PS1. If you're into Blockhead or DJ Shadown, then Force of Nature will blow you away.

Superluminous: Call to Arms Superluminous is an experiment in blurring the distinctions among artist, canvas, and audience -- an art event showing the works of 14 artists and designers.
Call to Arms takes on the world of a street fashion gone mainstream: the ubiquitous T-Shirt. Approaching it from a different angle, the artists bring the T-shirt out if its element as a piece of clothing and put it into the gallery with a fresh perspective. Not just a slick graphic, an original silkscreen, or even a shirt hanging on a wall, this is a reinterpretation of the T-Shirt as a true work of art.
Along side the paintings, sculptures, and textile art from the designers behind such boutique labels as Destroy Clothing and Manufactory, will be the architectural installations of video artist Ricardo Rivera of Philadelphia's Klip Kollective. Three DJs will keep the party moving as a performance art piece by KageGFX unravels throughout the night.
Rock 'n' Rollerskating The bands are cage-bound in the middle of the floor and the party goes clockwise into the night. Live music by Volcano, I'm Still Excited!, Qatsi, and Go To Town. In between band sets League Radio deejays Jeff and Susanna perform. DJ Mikey IQ in the second room. Skates are limited, so come early, or you're welcome to bring your own.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra As genuine aspirants to the Afrobeat throne, Brooklyners Antibalas are not merely enthusiastic acolytes of the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and his hard-fought message of insurrection and joy, but a ferociously vital collective who insist on kicking out the jams with tumultuous, polyrhythmic delight. With more than a dozen members, Antibalas provide an explosion of bass and incendiary horns, while their addictive dance beats help disperse the One World message. Opening are Burnt Sugar, who take Miles Davis' '70s acid-funk as a point of departure for their own bold explorations in groove, and the Nublu Orchestra conducted by Butch Morris. Anticipate beautiful, cryptic music that points toward unknown territories.

Never a model of narrative coherence, this legendary film noir sports a dazzling abundance of talent. Humphrey Bogart (as private eye Philip Marlowe) and Lauren Bacall star, Howard Hawks directs and the screenplay (based on a Raymond Chandler novel) is co-written by William Faulkner. It all has something to do with blackmail, homicide and two slinky sisters named Sternwood. Dont fret about clarity. Even Mr. Chandler wasnt always sure whodunit.

Bjrk:Medulla (in stores August 31st) listening event with giveaways
along w/ a screening of the Bjrk documentary: The Inner or Deep Part of an Animal or Plant Structure, the Making of Medulla
Tapping into the essence of human sound, Bjrk decided to create an all-vocals album, Medlla Rahzel, Mike Patton of Faith No More, Inuit throat-singer Tanya Tagaq Gillis, and Japanese beatboxer Dokaka. The three-year gestation period between albums (Vespertine was released in 2001) has given new infancy to Bjrk's sound, which is at once fresh and timeless. A viewing of the accompanying documentary The Inner or Deep Part of an Animal or Plant Structure, the Making of Medlla takes us into this complete artist's world and shows us the creation of pop music in medias res.("marrow" in Latin). The deceptively simple concept required an elaborate orchestration of talent; tracks were recorded in 18 cities with collaborators as diverse as hip-hop's
Van Brunt Gallery uses an activist's eye to bridge the worlds inside and outside the gallery. AmBUSH! combines political work that is both overt (Leon Golub's striking paintings, Kandy Littrell's topical illustrations) and subtle (Melanie Baker's ominous large charcoal drawings, Christian Nguyen's spatial manipulations) with interactive tools like a White House phone bank, protest-sign workshops and an RNC-event info desk. And the convention hasn't even started yet.
