Finally, a dvd worth buying

The next STar Trek DVD to be released will contain some never-before-seen 8mm footage from the original production. About time they got some decent special features.

New Spock

Zachary Quinto from Heroes is interested in playing the new Spock. In fact, he may have talked to the film's producers about it.

I for one find this insane: once, being Spock was something to be ashamed of. Now, people are fighting over it the role.

New Voyages Preview

This one's looking pretty good... I really need to start watching New Voyages. Maybe it would help me get used to the reboot idea for the new movie. You know, the one where Matt Damon is Kirk... still not used to that.

William Shatner and how he learns his lines

The fourth Indiana Jones

It's gonna film in Hawai`i. Lucky bastards.

Requiem for Methuselah
Kirk falls in love with a robot and battles her creator for the right to her until she dies. Good times.

A new all-time low

A thread has appeared on the startrek.com Enterprise board entitled "Where would you get a quickie on Enterprise? Your quarters aren't an option."

Doo doo de doo waaaa doo de doo! (<-- That's you playing something.) Everyone appreciates the band/orchestra geeks and the pretty voices. Whether you sing in the choir, participate in a school/local band, or sit at home writing music, you contribute a joy to society that everyone can agree on. Yay! Welcome to actually doing something for poor, pathetic human souls. (Just kidding.)

Xbox 360 is making a new remote

The basic idea is that it can compete with the Wii remote which is, understandably, gaining popularity. The result is that it looks like a giant lollipop.

Interview with Nicholas Meyer

Nick Meyer did a great interview after a showing of "The Wrath of Khan". He talks about how now that it's out of his control, he doesn't have anything he can really say about it. This is the full interview.

The most-loved sci-fi movie trilogy of all time begins a series of unendingly dull and misleading prequels.

William Shatner's video interview


Also, there is an article on GeekMonthly.com that hints about what may or may not be. We do know from many sources that Shatner has met with Orci and Kurtzman and possibly Abrams.

The writer or Star Trek II died today at age 78. Brilliant guy.

No one goes to this board.

According to TrekMovie.com, Sam Rockwell from Galaxy Quest ("Guy") wants to play Kirk in the new film. You heard me.

Orci and Kurtzman are all ready to do a sequel, according to this interview.

Don't forget to send some crackers to HBO for "The Black Donnellys" starring Kate Mulgrew.

The most built-up movie in 1996, 1997, and 1998 is Bruce Willis flying around in cheesy spaceships. Sigh.
