STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS Teaser Trailer
Dec. 8th, 2012 10:29 amThe question is whether Benedict Cumberbatch is actually playing Khan Noonien Singh. I kinda hope he is.
(If, by the way, you haven't heard of Cumberbatch, you will hear a lot over the next couple of years. He's already had a very full career, and in the Hobbit movies he's playing both the Necromancer [who eventually becomes Sauron] and voicing Smaug the dragon. And he's the star [along with Martin "Bilbo Dent" Freeman] of the BBC's superlative Sherlock reboot.)
There is also a Japanese teaser trailer that has an extra ending tacked onto it.
Thoughts?
Happy Birthday, Leonard Nimoy

Yet Another Reason Why Mr. Sulu Rocks
Apr. 25th, 2011 12:19 pmThere's a bill meandering through the Tennessee legislature that would prohibit teachers from discussing homosexuality with K-8 students. It's known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill.
Well, sir, our hero George Takei has Tweeted:
Well, sir, our hero George Takei has Tweeted:
TN bill will prevent teachers from using the word "gay" in class. In response, I'm lending them my name: "It's okay to be Takei."I love it. I love it so much, in fact, that I'm changing my I-think-apt-but-still-worringly-possibly-offensive tag "teh gay" to the now absolutely perfect "Takei".
BoingBoing points us to Bill Mudron.
Of course, if you have a link to some similarly fantastic art, we can compare. ;)

I heard about this on NPR this morning, and then ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
maiac had a link to it.
Tonight on Great Performances on PBS, there's a television adaptation of the 2008 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet, starring Sir Patrick Stewart as Claudius and David Tennant as the Prince of Denmark. You can watch a preview here, and after the broadcast tonight you can watch the whole episode online.
Who would you like to see do Shakespeare? Or, what existing production would you like brought to video? I'd love for them to release the 2003 production of Henry IV with Kevin Kline as Falstaff. The Harry/Hermione shipper in me would adore Romeo and Juliet with Radcliffe and Watson. Rickman as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice would be fascinating. And Jackman and Winslet (or Anne Hathaway or Keira Knightley) in The Taming of the Shrew -- or, better, Kiss Me Kate -- could be hysterical.

Pimp Your Stuff Thursday
Apr. 8th, 2010 09:33 amA variety of goodies:
- Starting with Steve Goodie, who's usually a very funny guy, but not this morning. He alerts us to a song he co-wrote awhile back with Tim Paynard (who also sings it), with a new video for it honoring the West Virginia mine disaster victims.
- On a lighter note, darthgm co-hosts the All STOP podcast, devoted to the MMORPG Star Trek Online.
- Anne aims us toward the solar system as music box.
- huskiebear tells us about the very cool abstract music puzzle game Auditorium.
- And my mom hipped me to the Touchtable.
- jimhines is still having his Not-A-Raffle to help rape crisis centers.
- This weekend is the always-wonderful FilkOntario in suburban Toronto.
- If you can't make it there, I'm going to be singing at KittenCon in Champaign, IL.

Rewatching STAR TREK
Nov. 18th, 2009 01:12 pmWith my li'l Enterprise DVD-1701 from Target (many thanks for that heads-up, ericcoleman). I am affirmed in my earlier opinion: This is, by far, one of the most MST/riffable movies to come along in years. In a good way, because the film is also so very entertaining. So many chances and so many opportunities.
But. It's also just good.
Vulcan just got et by Nero's black hole, and Uhura asks Spock, "What do you need?" and Spock, with so many emotions boiling just under the surface, says, "I need everyone... to continue performing admirably."
For all of its many flaws, especially with the damn time travel which has only been done right once ("City on the Edge of Forever"), there is so much to love about this movie. And the Uhura/Spock relationship is amazing. And, if I may say so, eminently logical.
Any other new vid we need to know about?
