So, in his honor…
Monster-of-the-Week: …the nod goes to his presumable
namesake the Mugato, the terrifying horned white-furred venomous ape-monster designed
and played by Janos Prohaska in the second-season original Star Trek episode “A Private Little War”:
Zoolander director/co-writer/star
Ben Stiller would seem to be a pretty hardcore Trekkie: Along with the name “Mugatu,”
the new film has a villainess named Alexanya Atoz (Kristen Wiig)—presumably a
reference to the well-meaning librarian (Ian Wolfe) in “All Our Yesterdays,” and
there’s also the name of Stiller’s company, “Red Hour Productions,” presumably a
reference to the “festival” in “Return of the Archons.”
Live long and prosper, dude.
