VISUAL ARTS: Documentary photographer Danny Lyon started a revolution with his unflinching images of bikers, convicts, and civil rights workers in the 1960s and ‘70s. The Guggenheim fellow’s work has been part of permanent collections in major contemporary art museums across the country, from MOMA and the Met to San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art and Seattle’s Henry Arts. Now, ee some of his best images on display at the James Harris Gallery, from Thursday through December 19.

FILM: Whether you’re a teenage girl, know a teenage girl, or occasionally watch TV, you’ll know that the second film in the Twilight series, New Moon, comes out on Friday.

Speaking of mania: Relive 1964, when the Beatles made girls swoon with their bowl haircuts, British accents, and cheeky sense of humor. Mock-umentary A Hard Day’s Night screens at Egyptian Theatre Saturday and Sunday.

Northwest Film Forum continues its showcase of landmark films from 1969 with The Passion of Anna, the heady Ingmar Bergman film that explores an emotionally strained love quadrangle. Not rectangle. Not square. Quadrangle.

COMEDY: Broken Lizard, aka the guys from Super Troopers and Beerfest, bring their witty, oft-raunchy brand of sketch and stand-up comedy to the Moore Theatre on Friday. Read our interview with Farva and Ramathorn here.

THEATER: Seattle Rep Theatre’s Equivocation just opened last night, hot off a critically acclaimed run at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Even better: The original cast is in tact in this show about the Bard (played by Boston Legal‘s Anthony Heald) struggling to do King James’ bidding.

Listen to director Bill Cain talk about the origins of the play:
