Last night, my wife and I watched Star Trek: Nemesis on Syfy (I can’t type that without thinking “dumbest name ever”). For those who are a bit forgetful, I’ll remind you that this is the final “Next Generation” Star Trek film, starring Jean-Luc Picard and crew. This is widely regarded as one of the worst Star Trek films. The intent was to create a villain to rival Picard the way that Khan rivaled Kirk. . . . → Read More: My marriage’s “Nemesis” I’m not even exaggerating. This blows my mind. There are certainly cakes that are unbelievably beautiful (and this is not one of them), but the level of detail on this cake, and the obvious love put into it, is staggering! That it has a sci-fi theme is just, well… icing on the cake. There's really too much to take in here You need to go to the creator’s site and check out the detail . . . → Read More: The best cake I’ve ever seen So this guy named all the episodes of classic Star Trek in 1:39 at a World Record Appreciation Society event… apparently setting a record. Eh… no big deal. That’s just relatively simple memorization (albeit a long list). I’ve got a friend who can name the title of every episode within 13 seconds of the start of the teaser – usually way faster – which is just about long enough for the planet to show . . . → Read More: Star Trek – title recitation record That is some seriously well-integrated CGI. I love it. The Stormtrooper’s “Boo-ya” at the end kills me. To be a total geek, here, I gotta say that a beam meant to take out a planet would not stop at taking out one ship, though. And what’s the Enterprise doing just sitting there? Fishing? Totally unrealistic. . . . → Read More: Tuesday TubeWatch: Death Star Trek Wars The Enterprise leaving the station Reviewing Star Trek (2009) is a bit of a difficult task. There is so much that has gone before, both good and bad, that it’s hard to not place this film within the context of everything “Trek.” It has a rather difficult job to fulfill in that it must honor that larger context while at the same time completely reinventing the franchise for a new time and a wider . . . → Read More: Review: Star Trek (Grab your pacemaker, it looks like I’m making two posts in two days! Will the madness ever end?) A few things came to my attention today that I just couldn’t wait to pass on. First of all, as you undoubtedly know, Watchmen opened today. No surprise there. But did you know these stats? 90% of all Fandango’s weekend ticket sales has been for Watchmen. IMAX’s website crashed four times this week due to the increased . . . → Read More: Watchmen, Star Trek, and Star Wars (sort of) If you were the head of a movie company, which movies would you choose to spend $1.5 million per 30 seconds to advertise during the Super Bowl—an event watched primarily by people who like to watch men running and slamming into each other? Let me give you a hint: it wouldn’t be Wendy and Lucy. No. You get action. You get slow motion beatings and martial acrobatics. You get fast cutting, adrenaline pushing excitement and . . . → Read More: Tuesday TubeWatch: Super Bowl Movie Roundup A few things that are now probably old news for some of you have come across my reader. Sorry I didn’t get to pass them on earlier. I done been busy. So this’ll be just a quick list for the most part. The next Family Guy: Blue Harvest special will parody Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. There will also be an upcoming Family Guy episode that features a Star Trek crew: “In one episode, . . . → Read More: Catch up on Sci-fi news Kirk and Spock over the Enterprise First off, if you haven’t yet, go see the trailer. This one is worth the HD download. It’s pretty. Okay, back already? Good. Looks pretty good, don’t it? I’m not going to obsess over the details here. I’ll do that at other blogs. Just wanted to put my quick two cents in: I can already tell from the trailer… I’m gonna like this movie. Apparently, I’m an easy . . . → Read More: Star Trek (2009) full trailer released Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Last Outpost – TV Squad [tag]Wil Wheaton[/tag] has taken to doing reviews of old [tag]Star Trek: The Next Generation[/tag] episodes. He’s only done a few so far, all from the first season, but they are very funny. A ton of pop-culture references make it even more fun to read. While speaking as someone who played arguably the most hated hero character in sci-fi until [tag]Jar-Jar[/tag], he manages to skewer . . . → Read More: Wil Wheaton reviews the show that made everyone hate him |
