Rewatching some Star Trek original series episodes over the past little while. When I received the remastered DVDs I watched all my favourite episodes. Recently I decided to watch some of the less impressive episodes (in my opinion). I started with The Man Trap, then Charlie X, Mudd's Women, What are Little Girls Made of,… Continue reading Star Trek watching

Star Trekked
I've put my money towards the Star Trek sequel (seeing it 5 times), because it was probably the most fun I've had at a movie in years. I had planned to review the movie initially, but there are billions of bytes already taken up with those. Instead I just wanted to say what it meant… Continue reading Star Trekked
Boldly going anew
The new trailer for Star Trek is out. I've watched it a bunch of times. More than I want to admit. It's exciting and flashy. It's not the Trek I grew up with. The new movie caters to a new audience. And why not bring in a new audience? Catering strictly to the old school guarantees that… Continue reading Boldly going anew
Alan Moore’s going to hate me
I saw Watchmen twice this past weekend and liked the movie better than the book. Here's why: the ending tied into the characters more coherently: Having the explosions in multiple cities look like the work of Dr. Manhattan used the concept of him as a god-like character rather than the book's alien squid, which came… Continue reading Alan Moore’s going to hate me
Great geek weekend

The opening battle scene was nothing short of spectacular. As impressive as the Star Wars movies. It worked well to set up some new… Continue reading Great geek weekend

Hide your shame!
Watching the Terminator premiere this past Sunday night, one thing gave me pause: The only thing worse than getting caught naked with the hot naked girl, is if your mom is also naked. Ewww.
It’s Back!
All hail the hypnotoad, Futurama is back today! The DVD movie, Bender's Big Score is now available. It's certainly on my list this Gift Getting Season. How can you go wrong with cartoon nudity, robots, aliens, and math jokes?
All Hail the King
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King opened on December 17. Of course I was there with my friend Dave for an opening day matinee. This has been a bit of a tradition for the past three years. Unfortunately this is the end. The movie itself, despite being a real bladder buster, is fantastic.… Continue reading All Hail the King
