Bronstein at Large interviewed actor Sam Rockwell the other day, and Rockwell, who grew up in and around SF, basically did nothing but gush about the Mission. Look for talk of Zeitgeist, Farolito and Pancho Villa. Also, something about his cock. Raw, 24-minute version here. (via SFist’s Day Around the Bay)
You do realize that anyone in the world could say something like “That place on 24th and Mission” or “That place on 16th and Mission,” and instantly his audience will assume it is, in fact, the spot they also enjoy? I didn’t hear any restaurant names, I mean.
“He means El Farolito!”
“No, he meant La Taqueria!”
“No, stupid, it’s El Taco Loco.”
True. But c’mon, nobody likes Taqueria San Jose, and La Taqueria’s at 25th.
He’s just trying to build his hipster cred.
Yes, because only hipsters get burritos in the mission…
I think that was Gary Oldman personating Sam Rockwell.
The resemblance to a younger Gary Oldman is uncanny.
They should team up!
