. That annual tsunami of cartoon doodie humor and eyeball gougings comes sloshing back into town to delight and amaze arrested adolescents of all ages. Personally, it kind of depresses me that this show exists at all (man, this is some nasty, nihilistic stuff), but if you're keen to see such fare as and , get your scabies-ridden carcass to this show without delay.

. Carole and Richard Rifkind's documentary, last screened here at the 2005 Newport Beach Film Festival, looks at the problems of Venice, where annual tourist traffic outnumbers the resident population by more than 200 to 1. Sounds a bit like living in the middle of Disneyland—except in the case of Venice only (maybe only), there's the added twist that the whole place is sinking farther and farther under water. This is the latest entry in the Landscape Projections Film Series. Orange County Museum of Art, 850 San Clemente Dr., Newport Beach, (949) 759-1122. Thurs., April 6, 7:30 p.m. Free.

. Mel Brooks' greatest picture, an affectionate homage/vicious skewering of those great old James Whale horror flicks of the '30s. Gene Wilder turns in a hilarious, fearsomely intense, superbly over-the-top performance as Victor Von Fronk-en-steen Jr., a mad genius who attempts to follow in his famous grandfather's “footshteps.” Peter Boyle is a wonder as the monster, a shambling lug with a bald head and a zipper in his neck. See this movie once, and for the rest of your life, you will be sent into giggle fits by the words “Abby Normal.” Edwards Rancho Santa Margarita, 30632 Santa Margarita Pkwy., Rancho Santa Margarita, (949) 888-3358. Tues., 8 p.m. $6; Edwards South Coast Village, 1561 W. Sunflower Ave., Santa Ana, (714) 540-1970. Wed., 8 p.m. $6.
