Car commercials didn't previously quote iconic comic book lines, did they? Does this mean that Ford is about to do a 30-second piece using lines from Star Trek?
"When on the road of life, the needs of the many...outweigh the needs of the few. The new 2014 Ford Expedition Ultra: boldly going where no family has gone before..."
I didn't watch Star Trek: Enterprise when it was on the air. I was in college, and there was no regular local Paramount/UPN/whatever affiliate. I caught an episode here and there, usually in really dingy SD. The new Blu-ray set is a great way to experience it for the first time, especially so thanks to the lengthy and candid discussion between Rick Berman and Brannon Braga.
The theme song is still pretty wretched.
Review forthcoming.
About four years ago, I wrote an article that took me all night.
"I wasn't born until 1983, so I've only heard stories from friends and their parents about the summer of '77. You didn't have to be a "geek" or a "nerd" or a five year old who loves CG to go see Star Wars."
I went into work the next day without any sleep, because my wife and I were part of the first audience in North America to see the new Star Trek movie. So sue me, I liked the lens flares (and still do):
"Star Trek has never been this visually dynamic. The camera work is full of lens flares, reflections, and focus effects that really sell the atmosphere as being less steady and...overly-tidy than before. You also have a more nuts n' bolts, gaskets n' pipes styled Enterprise, where the ship feels like a labyrinthine submarine merged with an aircraft carrier. The mixture of practical and CG alien and creature effects are also fantastic, with all kinds of new stuff never seen before in the franchise in terms of design or quality."
Now JJ Abrams is apparently set to direct Star Wars: Episode 7: Revenge of a New Subtitle, and...I think he's a perfect fit.
Just got a press release for Star Trek: Enterprise's Season 1 Blu-ray, which is set for release on 26 March. Read on for details on new extras, including commentaries on select episodes plus...
I've spent much of the day on "work work" in addition to working on a Comic-Con wrapup for Ain't It Cool News.
Late in the afternoon, I started digging into a freshly-arrived copy of next Tuesday's Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 Blu-ray. It's impressive to say the least. If you are into TNG and own a Blu-ray player, I can confidently say that this will bring you a great deal of joy.
Regarding the other thing that has flooded the news today: I decided to carry on to the best of my ability as if it had it not happened in the first place.
