Today's Movie

Three Men and a Baby
This is one of the funniest things ever. These guys are so incompotent... I've seen fifteen year old boys who were more competent with kids. And then there's the drug dealers... priceless. Also, Leonard Nimoy directed it. Bet you didn't know that.

The Happening and more

The Happening
John Leguizamo. Yeah. And the new movie's called The Happening.

william Shatner Hosts Comedy Festival
It's in Montreal. Don't forget he's Canadian. It's like bar hopping with comedians.

God Bless the New York Times
This review posted on the New York Times website of the new Harry Potter book is pretty favorable - and it manages to avoid major spoilers.

Wil Wheaton on the New TNG DVDs
Basically we have to get them even if they're spendy and it's not piracy until you sell it hint hint. He also touches on the times Rick Berman gave him the silent "fuck you" and how that felt. (Shitty. Duh.)

Today on Star Trek

Shades of Gray
Riker relives all the bad things that happened in season one and Deanna stands there looking stressed in sickbay. Oh, and it's Pulaski's last episode.

The Shat's latest project and more

William Shatner hosts Talk Show
Yep, you heard me. It's gonna be on Bio, the new Biography channel. It's the center of Bio's reality TV, in fact (although wouldn't the biography channel be all reality?) and it should start sometime in 2008.

William Shatner's version of "Rocket Man" is now the 68th worst cover of all time.

Review of The Space Between
The end is nigh, and IDW's TNG comic did...Okay. Mediocre. So-so. I can't think of another way to put this.

Robert Picardo has a new interview
The interview can be found here, and covers The Hollywood walk of fame, acting, and his take on fanfilm and the future of The Doctor (there isn't one).

Upcoming Stuff

Hairspray
See John Travolta in drag. As TommySparkle says, Grease will never be the same again.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Adam Sandler pretends to be gay.
All the Boys love Mandy Lane
This just sounds sad. I bet she dies. Similar movies, oddly enough, include Scream and Carrie 2.

The X-Files has news, one really sad story, William Shatner's ongoing project at Walter Reed, etc.

On the Second X-Files Movie
The story is here and here, but basically the X-Files movie number two is going to be reality. In the sense of there is a script. And Duchovny is onboard. and Anderson is onboard. And oh, happy happy day.

This totally fixes my Monday.

All I can Say is Oh My God.
Shatner discusses the needs of soldiers recovering at Walter Reed hospital. He makes me hate America.

Shatner on going without his pants.

Today on Star Trek

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Ugh. Ugh with a side of puke. Can anything possibly make this movie any worse? There's the plot, the characterization, the costumes, the special effects, the script...

News today

On Cloverfield
JJ Abrams is totally stealing from The Fifth Element and it's working. If you go to AIC, you can learn all about the thing. Okay, something about the thing. Okay, nothing whatsoever about the thing. Isn't this fun?

This may be from Deathly Hallows
"Chapter One. The Dark Lord Ascending. The two men appeared out of nowhere, a few yards apart in the narrow, moonlit lane. For a second they stood quite still, wands pointing at each other's chests: then, recognising each other, they stowed their wands beneath their cloaks and set off, side by side, in the same direction.

"News?", asked the taller of the two.

"The best," replied Snape.'"

This excerpt was seen in film footage shot in October 2006. We don't know if it's real or not, and if it is... it doesn't show much. Cool though, huh?

New trailer from Bringbackkirk.com
I've seen a lot of these. This one is crap. There's no other way to put it. It looks fake. It's unconvincing. It's too long. Every possible person is included, and it is boring.

Today on Star Trek

The Cage
Christopher Pike gets trapped by the Talosians in a zoo with a really hot woman. Of course, none of it's real.

TMP in ten minutes

Harry Potter Fun

This is supposed to be awesome, but so far I'm not impressed. It's like a Harry Potter MUD. Only there's no MUD. Just classes... and they check your grammar. And then they pay you. But virtual Galleons, not real money....
MuggleNet Interactive.

Part 3 of the Nick Meyer Video

Project with potential

Dracula Year Zero.



No, that's the title. It's about Vlad the Impaler. There's info at this website, if you're interested.

Weird posts of the Day

Include:

"Is the Dog that played Porthos still alive?" (startrek.com, Enterprise board)
"Jetrel, not just a clown" (startrek.com, Voyager board)
"Will there ever be a real 'Star Fleet Command', if so what will it be called?"(startrek.com Voyager board)
The DS9 board on startrek.com is completely full of polls.
No one but me has posted on the series boards in The Collective in at least several days.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Stewart!

Today is Patrick Stewart's birthday.

I promised I wouldn't do this...

But I like this guy.

He said cojones in his presidency pitch!

Manga

Usually so far out of my purview, but not if it's Star Trek manga! Sigh. And sigh again.
I really don't care about Manga... but this time I kind of have to. Fandom is a heavy burden indeed.

A Big Step Down

Scarlet Pomers and Brad Dourif are going on a movie with the Duff sisters. Yeah. It's called Kentucky Fried Horror Show. Yeah.

I'm gonna go puke now.

lesser known actors

The latest word is that lesser known actors will be playing leads in XI, which means no Adrien Brody and no Matt Damon, thank God.

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.
