Let me guess, there are a lot of Universal Dork followers out there that wish that just a tiny bit…a smidge of the technology we see in sci-fi movies/shows would be real. From teleportation to phasers, or warp speed to food replication…I always thought that Star Trek was one of the most innovative and inspiring shows that pushed the limits with technology…but for some reason you knew it could be real someday.
Well there have been announcements on teleporting photos across a room…cool, but a long way to go till we get to something bigger. May theorists have bought into Warp speed…but again it looks great in the math and on paper. Well wait no more, because now you too can have a Star Trek communicator that works with your cell phone via Bluetooth! All home made, and of course, classic Star Trek style as well, with the flip top and everything.

It was a big deal to William Shatner when he heard that the latest Star Trek Film would be featuring Leonard Nimoy returning as Spock but seemingly no Captain Kirk in sight. Shatner appeared angered with JJ Abrams’ decision and claimed he himself brought Kirk back to life in a mere few pages of one of his books, “very easily”. I think it was a great decision to keep the captain in the world of the deceased, especially since he already died In “Generations”. Well as you may have already heard Shatner is back in the spotlights to appear in the second film.

You really didn’t think ol’ Shat would stay out of the picture for long did you? (more…)

The new Star Trek film was hands down amazing! Perfect in almost evey way except for one person from the original series who was obviously given a raw deal by Mr. JJ Abrams. Where the HELL was Finnegan?! We were supposedly visiting the academy years of Kirk and Spock. Perhaps JJ never saw the legendary episode “Shore Leave” from TOS?! Perhaps he had no idea that Finnegan was Kirk’s mortal enemy and tormented his academy years?

I had alot of doubts about the new Star Trek motion picture and like you may all know I’m pretty picky when it comes to the the things that I hold dear to me being put onto the big screen. I went into Star Trek with an open mind however and left the theater with my mind blown, already wanting a sequel! I must say Mr. Abrams was truely the man for the job, completely breathing exciting new life into the Star Trek franchise. This incredible movie exceeded all of my expectations. In fact it may even go down for me as the best Trek film ever.

I am soooo pumped about the new STAR TREK movie opening tomorrow! Now we pass the role of Kirk on to Chris Pine. But for a moment let’s not forget how much of a total bad ass the orginal William Shatner “Kirk” really was and how much ass he kicked! Chris Pine you best have checked this out, cuz man could Kirk give a serious beatdown on his enemies!!
Check out this awesome “futuristic” music video. No its not Borat. Its a group called Zlad from Molvania who have had a few odd electronica hits in Eastern Europe. If this is the future the good news is we all wear silver Star Trek outfits.

I am sooooo pumped about the new Star Trek movie! Only weeks away now! I have the highest hopes that it is going to blow my mind. I am super pleased with the costumes as they look VERY similar to the original series and so far I am totally into the official Star Trek prequel comic book that has been coming out. I love the fact that it follows the continuity of the movies and features Nimoy returning as an older Spock! Hell I even loved the fact that they wouldn’t let Shatner return as Kirk in this movie since he officially died in Star trek “Generations”. I am very happy with the decision of Zachary Quinto as Spock but what worries me most of all is the portrayal of James T. Kirk in this new revamp.

Hey if you haven’t already seen my music video i made about Cheez-its check it out now. It’s about all i could come up with here today after drinking too much wine and watching some terrible movies last night at our official “BAD MOVIE NIGHT 4″! Check back tomorrow too see what stinkers we watched!! Right now here it is again as i shamelessly self promote my own music video!!
Here’s yet another installment of “Bigfoot Sightings” where I Pay homage to perhaps the most RAD guy in the entire world, Bigfoot! Check this clip out from the ultra classic, BEST Twilight Zone episode of all time, “Nightmare At 20,000 Feet” starring William Shatner. People have said for quite some time that the creature that appears on the wing of the plane is a gremlin. WRONG! If you look a little closer it’s clear that ol’ Shat has just sighted a flying BIGFOOT who’s for some reason got it in BAD for him. It seems that Bigfoot is driving Shatner absolutely bananas (check out Shatner’s expression at 1:05 mark, he’s lost his damn mind!) and totally enjoying every second of it. It’s nice to finally know that William Shatner and Bigfoot do truely have some powerful connection-even if it means they are arch enemies!! You got some damn big balls Mr. Bigfoot for pissing off Shatner-but i guess somebody has to do it!

Chill out and relax too the sweet harmonious song, “Bitter Dregs” sung by Mr. Spock in the episode “Plato’s Stepchildren”. I guess I can’t blame him for serenading Uhura. Hey check out Shatner’s clothes here it’d be pretty amazing to have him show up at a party in those…
