FILM
The Trial Dir. Orson Welles. 1962. 120mins. The blackest of Welles' comedies, an apocalyptic version of Kafka that renders the grisly farce of K's labyrinthine entrapment in the mechanisms of guilt and responsibility as the most fragmented of expressionist films noirs. Perkins' twitchy "defendant" shifts haplessly through the discrete dark spaces of Welles' ad hoc locations (Zagreb and Paris, including the deserted Gare d'Orsay), taking no comfort from Welles' fable-spinning Advocate, before contriving the most damning of all responses to the chaos around him. The remarkable prologue was commissioned from pioneer pinscreen animators Alexandre Alexeieff and Claire Parker. Music Box. 11:30am. $7.25.

You can stop holding your breath: Summer really is here. Take advantage of the beautiful weather at one of these new and updated rooftops!

Kanye West knows how to get attention. To announce his upcoming summer album, reportedly due on June 18, the Chicago-born rapper will project the video to his new single "New Slaves" on the sides of buildings in ten cities around the world. Already the black and white film of his Big Brother–like face delivering the song has appeared in New York City, as reported by Pitchfork.

Here's where you can check it out tonight in Chicago:
Wrigley Field; 9:50–10:05pm
Chicago History Museum; 10:35–10:45pm
North and Milwaukee Aves, Wicker Park; 11:15–11:25pm
University of Chicago Music Department; 12:15–12:30am
Field Museum; 12:55–1:05am
The Art Institute of Chicago; 1:30–1:40am
505 N Michigan Ave; 1:50–1:55am

Hurry. It's starting soon.

UPDATE: Watch a recording of the video. West sings, "I'd rather be a dick than a swallower." Bring the kids! Also, he sings falsetto?

Yesterday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a plan to spruce up Chicago's downtown lakefront. The $1.1 billion project includes a new arena for DePaul University across from McCormick Place, a boutique hotel, flyover bike paths and a $278 million face-lift for Navy Pier.

It remains up for debate how much a 10,000-seat basketball arena for a team that hasn't won in years—soon to be playing schools like Creighton and Butler in a crumbling Big East Conference—will do to boost the economy of the South Loop. At least Fall Out Boy will have a new place to play.

The rehabilitation of Navy Pier is far more intriguing and overdue. The new construction, expected to begin in fall, includes a fountain, an expanded Children's Museum and more restaurants (whether those will be themed after Tom Hanks movies has not been disclosed).

Potential Navy Pier upgrades were initiated two years ago. We put together a feature about it, and envisioned 15 fantastical fixes for the tourist magnet. Compare our vision (pictured above) to the city's concept. We hoped for a water park, soul club, doughnut factory, microbrewery, floating car silo, storefront theater, skate park and more. But, you know, a fountain that transforms into a skating rink is cool, I guess.
