Title: OMG Star Trek NERDGASM!
Post by: Czar on November 18, 2008, 09:08:32 AM
I just caught the new trailer for the Star Trek movie coming out next summer and I have to run home and change my work pants.

Its no Voyager movie, but it looks great!

It looks like it should be a good movie.  I doubt a lot of the older Star Trek fans will enjoy it as I think they are trying to attract the younger crowd.  The actor for Spock looks really good though Kirk could have looked more like Shatner.

So I take it this is an even numbered movie? What is it now? 8? 10? 2384739204?
Title: Re: OMG Star Trek NERDGASM!
Post by: Czar on November 18, 2008, 01:01:04 PM
11 i think..yeah?
Title: Re: OMG Star Trek NERDGASM!
Post by: sully! on November 18, 2008, 01:19:59 PM
If it's 11 doesn't that mean it's supposed to suck? Aren't the odd ones the bad movies and the even numbered ones good?

And I just watched the trailer, Spock is played by the guy who plays Sylar on Heroes. I'm not really a Trekkie, but I'd watch that.

You`ll be happy to know I took an anal culture with a swab last week in microbiology class and its incubating on a petri dish as we speak. Tonight I`ll get to see what fuzzy things are growing from it.

Downloading the trailer in 1080p, because I can't stand to watch trailers/movies in little windows.

Are you gonna do a taste test?

*Gently presses the tip of his tongue to the petri dish*

"BLEH! This tastes like ass!"

btw, trailer looks decent.  By no means have i gotten my hopes up that the movie won't suck.  First Contact was the last movie that I really loved and i consider it the top 2 (along with ST2 - Kahn).

Yes, this is an odd movie which means it already has a stigma against it.  But since 10 wasn't that great, there's always room for growth.

I miss the days when star trek was about scifi and not just about the alien of the week and space ships.

Bah. I miss Voyager. Best ST series, hands down.

Star Trek Nemesis and the one about the whales (ST4 I think?) were the worst ones IMO.

I actually enjoyed nemesis.  The battle scenes were great and the Scimitar was an awesome looking ship.

Sure the ship was awesome... but the plot and acting suuucked.

The acting wasn't any different from any other TNG episode.  It was almost all the same actors.  That is one of my main issues with the Star Trek movies.  They are all basically double length TV episodes with better special effects.

Whaaaaat?! ST:4 The Voyage Home was actually pretty good!

Looks like the world is truly doomed.

The teacher was handing back the incubated petri dishes and some came back empty! Nothing growing. Instantly busted those that took their dishes and swabs to the bathroom and didn't actually swab. Mine, on the other hand, came back all fuzzy...in the shape of a smiley face since I decided to inoculate the petri dish in an artistic fashion.

Nothing like adding some humor and fun to science.  Kinda like in my Chemistry lecture the first year in college when the Prof poured liquid nitrogen on his feet and said it helped relax them after standing all day.
