The legendary director spent 30 years realizing his dream project, Megalopolis, and now it's here. We just saw it and had a number of thoughts about it.
2 SEE: A good looking “robot”
With or without Coppola, the most effective movie this week and maybe the most effective movie of 2024 is that this wild and delightful animated release from DreamWorks.
3 PLAY & TASTE: Fantastic food halls
If food halls aren't the best things on this planet, we'd like to see what else is on the market. And these three are a few of our favorites.
4 SEE & HEAR: A preferred festival
The Monterey Jazz Festival, which returns this weekend, is all the time a highlight of the autumn music season, and this 12 months's lineup is filled with legends and young stars. And legendary musician and producer Don Was might be there, too.
5 FOOD: The crème de la crème
Bon Appétit has released its top 20 recent restaurants within the United States, and…drum roll please…two of them are right here within the Bay Area.

From a brand new exhibit on Korea's ubiquitous popular culture to raunchy political humor, there's plenty to see and do within the Bay Area this weekend and beyond.

Every 12 months, migratory birds go through the Bay Area. Here are five great places to experience the splendor of the birds. These days, there are even board games for bird lovers.
