The Stranger Suggests
Film
'Stingray Sam'
The American Astronaut is the world's best space-Western movie musical. A black-and-white masterpiece, the movie is like Jules Verne with a rock 'n' roll soundtrack, where space is filled with roughnecks and kooks, and men and women are segregated to their own planets. Cory McAbee, the mastermind behind The American Astronaut, has made a sequel of sorts called Stingray Sam. It has many of the same actors (playing different intergalactic desperados), the same obsession with bars and criminals who save children, and equally great songs. Presented as a six-part serial, Stingray Sam will not disappoint members of the American Astronaut cult. McAbee will be here to introduce the film. (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 829-7863. 7:15 and 9:15 pm, $6–$9.)

Not Pants
This late-night storytelling party, thrown by Annex Theatre, brings you true—and probably embarrassing—tales from some of Seattle's funniest tale-tellers: comedians Emmett Montgomery and Lizzy Pilcher, solo performer Keira McDonald, writer of smut and plays Gillian Jorgensen, our very own David Schmader, and a few others. Schmader promises a story recalling his experiences touring a one-man show about Hitler to a high school in North Carolina in the early '90s. Because nothing's funnier than Hitler. (Annex Theatre, 1100 E Pike St, www.brownpapertickets .com. 11 pm, $5–$10.)
