· At the Egyptian, actor, filmmaker, and certified Hollywood Crazy Person Crispin Glover presents What Is It?, a movie we won't even attempt to describe in this space, especially the part about its cast being "largely comprised of actors with Down Syndrome." Afterwards, a Q&A, book signing, and other unscheduled weirdness.
Saturday
 · Maverick Filmmaker Weekend continues with David Lynch's screening Inland Empire at LACMA, with muse Laura Dern joining him for a post-show discussion. We assume the cow won't be making an appearance.
· McSweeney's Presents The World, Explained at Barnsdall Art Park, a benefit reading/comedy show/concert/powerpoint extravaganza to raise money for 826LA. And something for the ladies: adorable Michael "George Michael of Arrested Development" Cera will be on hand to fulfill all your cheek-pinching fantasies.
