DESCRIPTION:Narrated by John Waters, this excellent documentary tells the story of the 
 Salton Sea, one of America's worst ecological disasters. Created 
 accidentally after an engineering error in 1905, the Salton Sea is not 
 actually a sea but a man-made lake that has since taken on a life and a 
 lore all of its own. By the 1950s, it had been transformed into a 
 world-class vacation spot but it was later abandoned as hurricanes, dying 
 fish and floods turned it into a malodorous reminder of the lake's 
 unnatural origins. What remains is a population of eccentrics who struggle 
 to keep the dream of the community alive, although its fate remains 
 uncertain as the land is being threatened by Southern California's growing 
 megalopolises. PLAGUES AND PLEASURES covers the economic, political and 
 environmental issues implicit to the plight of the sea, but it is also a 
 hilarious, off-beat, and delightful portrait of an endearing and unique 
 cast of characters reminiscent of the folks in Errol Morris' classic 
 Vernon, Florida.  Directed by Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer.  Plays with 
 10 min. short, LSD-A-GO-GO (dir. Scott Calonico).  Showtimes: Nightly 7:15, 
 9:15; Sat & Sun: 2, 4; Wed: 2\n
