MOTIVATE—Fact: You are a lazy, unmotivated sack of shit. That's why you need a panel of America's most motivated dickheads to get you off your ass and into the mindset of SUCCESS™! Get freakin' PUMPED UP by Rudy Giuliani, Steve Forbes, Laura Bush, Terry Bradshaw, and a formerly cool Bill Cosby at this daylong motivational masturbatathon. WSH
Rose Garden, One Center Court, 8 am-4:45 pm, $1.95 in advance, $225 at the door?!?
FLIGHT OF FANCY—Terry Gilliam's extraordinary 1988 film The Adventures of Baron Munchausen examines the reconciliation of fantasy and reality, and the death of imagination at the hand of rational thought. More importantly, though, it's a rousing, silly adventure, told in Gilliam's visually resplendent style. NL
Laurelhurst Theater, 2735 E Burnside, Fri March 11-Thurs March 17, 9:35 pm, $3
(I think what we're really trying to say is, "tonight would be a great night for a Party Down marathon on Instant Watch. At least, that's what I'm saying. Again.)
