Recently watched: bizarre 1994 comedy Cabin Boy. I’ve always loved Chris Elliott’s anarchic appearances on the golden age of Late Night with David Letterman (thankfully they’re preserved on YouTube) and was curious to see his one big stab at movie stardom Cabin Boy. Last night when I was crashed out on the sofa flipping through TV stations, I found that it was playing! I liked Cabin Boy’s freewheeling kitschy Pee-wee Herman vibes (Tim Burton produced it). I know Cabin Boy flopped at the time, but maybe it’s due for potential cult movie reappraisal? Anyway, I didn’t manage to finish it (it was late at night by time I started watching) but I did see the guest star appearance by the fabulous Ann Magnuson as alluring six-armed, blue-skinned temptress Calli (pictured).

Making Mr. Right (1987)
Perennially underrated filmmaker Susan Seidelman—queen of the High Femme Cinematic Aesthetic—helmed this delightful yarn about a female PR exec who molds a space-born android (John Malkovich, in rare heartthrob mode!) into the perfect man, only to fall in love with him against the backdrop of a vibrant, colorful Miami.
Director: Susan Seidelman
Cinematographer: Edward Lachman
Starring Ann Magnuson, John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, Polly Bergen, and Glenne Headly.

TITUS ANDRONICUS directed by Kestutis Nakas at the Pyramid Club. Featuring Steve Buscemi, Ann Magnuson, John Sex, John Kelly. Monday nights, one act per night.
"When Chang ended its run in June 1983, a number of unusual theatrical productions filled the Monday night slot, most notably Kestutis Nakas' Titus Andronicus. When Nakas approached Bradley about doing an extremely bloody yet comic production of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus in serial form, his experience was similar to John Jesurun's—Bradley was unexpectedly enthusiastic. Nakas assembled an "all-star cast" by Pyramid standards: Ann Magnusun, John Kelly, John Sex, Mark Oates, Bill Rice, Steve Buscemi, and Mark Boone, Jr. The series lasted five weeks, one act per week. Titus Andronicus earned Nakas not only the respect of the Pyramid staff but also a job teaching at NYU in the Experimental Theatre Wing. Nakas went on to create a variety of Pyramid productions, including a Theme Park with the club decorated as the interior of the human body; and The Andrew Carnegie Story, which ended with Nakas, as Carnegie, passing out real money to the crowd." - excerpt from "The Pyramid Club" by Iris Rose, 2009
