Cocktail & Cabin Boy

i have this in full hd and have watched it twice in the last year.

Salut.

SPOILER WARNING (yes i know this is ridiculous for a film that came out a quarter of a century ago)

-------------------

i never found coughlin's suicide convincing. he's a happy-go-lucky character, he'd have skipped off back to australia, or the caribbean, not ended it all.

It was responsible for this, Mr Ned Raggett sir. I feel justified in my disgust.

i love the font in the opening credits

The bar poem was bizarre enough (he said, rewatching), the bad flirting/sex scene that followed even more uh.

Also how did I miss that said photographer in sex scene was Gina Gershon! Between this and Showgirls she is the queen.

More about the Beach Boys obv but still a great read:

That song reminds me a lot of the song in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, "Substitutiary Locomotion" or something like.

So proud to have worked on the gorgeous Blu-ray of Cabin Boy, out today. @NickPinkerton's essay is essential, and there are endless hours of bonus features. Buy it for the culture: https://t.co/YhzvlQG4Af @KinoLorber @KLStudioClassic
