Omg, Erika Moen from Penny Arcade’s Strip Search? Wow, I haven’t thought about that in years! She was great!
It really was obnoxiously enjoyable
Was it though? I could see it if you changed the audio track to a language you don’t understand, because it does have a lot going for it; the production design and costumes, set design and construction are all outstanding, sound design is still some of the best there’s ever been (especially when it came to modernizing legacy sfx), obviously the vfx and novel approaches to cinematography (yes, including the lens flares) are all great, etc etc.
But literally every last thing about the story is stream of consciousness, fever dream nonsense, which in any other franchise might be forgiven, but for Star Trek of all things to have such boneheaded threads of anti-science magical thinking, noxious xenophobia and childish cruelty is unforgivable. It’s a top to bottom garbage script, ironically produced with one of the most talented film crews in sci-fi movie history, which for my money anyway, makes it even more tragic and hard to enjoy.
That was great! I thought I knew where it was going but it totally surprised both me and my wife and we were like, “Damn, that was pretty good!”
Very hyped for shore leave episode now, the crew has earned it!
Yeah it’s not terrible, I just wish you could send from them as well.
I’m a simple man. I see Rama, I upvote.
I have spent an embarrassing amount of time playing Syd Meier’s Pirates in my day, and I regret nothing!
I joined lemmy just a week or two before you started this I think, so your posts have been a foundational part of my experience almost since day one. I’ll always upvote even if I don’t have time to read em all. Thanks for doing it, it’s fun and part of what gives this place character! ❤️
You hush your mouth, Event Horizon is awesome!!
I’ve been using an app called Coax (Apple only, which will disappoint some) to do this with my Plex library and it’s glorious. Beautiful retro styled schedule grid, automated channel/schedule creation, even has a weather channel with Jazz playing. I’m rediscovering stuff that’s been sitting idle on my server for years because it’s just fun to see what’s “on” and be like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s check that out for a few minutes’ and then I end up watching the whole thing.
Fortunately, Oregon seems to have figured out how to handle this. This was in my feed, literally right under this post.
Man, I miss the Oregon coast. ❤️
