My Star Trek > Your Star Trek

My Star Trek > Your Star Trek

So.  Here’s the plot.  A bald militant Romulan in a giant technologically advanced ship is hellbent on revenge and destroying the planet earth. Sound familiar?  Sound like that Star Trek movie you watched last summer?  You know, the one.  Everyone that said they hated Star Trek and it’s fans were virgins somehow claimed they LOVED this movie?  It starred all those good looking young people that looked EXACTLY like the original cast members of the TV show looked back in the 60’s?  You know that movie!!  The one with the gigantic budget, director and promotional push from the studio.  We ALL saw it.  And we LOVED it.  The problem is, not all of us are as dumb as the rest of us.  And by all of us I mean me and by “dumb as the rest of us,” I mean you.

What if I was to tell you that the movie described above came out nearly a decade ago? What if I were to tell you the goddamn movie was in the same genre and brand as that Star Trek movie with all those beautiful, young people that we all loved so much? In 2002, a movie named Star Trek: Nemesis came out in a theater near you.  It grossed 43 million dollars domestically.  It featured the cast of Star Trek The Next Generation, my persona; favorite slice of the Star Trek universe.  It was directed by Stuart Baird who also worked on Executive Decision, The Legend of Zorro, Superman II, Demolition Man & Casino Royal.  Why is this relevant to what is being discussed here?  Glad you asked.

You recognize that, don’t you TMZ reader?  It’s the giant Romulan ship from that new sexy Star Trek movie that you loved so much.  See that Federation ship confronting it on the right?  Looks pretty badass doesn’t it?  I agree, but I am burdened with the knowledge that it’s a direct rip off from the aforementioned “Nemesis.”  Have a gander at the image below and keep in mind it is nearly a decade old.

WOW!  Look at that!  It’s the Scimitar!!  A giant fucking Romulan Warbird confronting a much smaller Federation craft in a Star Trek movie.  It’s strange that in the same goddamn franchise such a coincidence could take place.  Couple with the plots of both movies being very similar, we are taking about dual lightening strikes here!  I am willing to give Abrams, Orci and Kurtzman the benefit of the doubt.  As someone that has dabbled in writing fiction, it is very possible for ideas to be inadvertently recycled.  That doesn’t mean the author recycling the idea meant to steal the concept.  If the theft ended here, Ol “Thad would have no beef.

There he is. Eric Bana’s character in that Star Trek movie you fell for, just like I did.  Nero was his name, I believe. He was an angry, bald Romulan hell bent on destroying the Earth in his mad rage against one of the most legendary characters in Star Trek lore.  You know know what is so damn funny about that? SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!  I’d be MORE than happy to tell you…

Well looky there!  It’s an angry, bald Romulan hell bent on destroying the Earth in his mad rage against one of the most legendary characters in Star Trek lore.  Only instead of being after Spock, this angry Romulan is after Jean Luc Picard.  That’s what’s so funny!  That isn’t Nero pictured above, it’s Shinzon!  A bald Romulan hellbent on killing us all!  What is HEEEE-LARIOUS is that the NEW Star Trek movie came out in 2009,  Shinzon appeared in “Nemisis”……………….IN 2002!

The situation is frustrating for any self respecting nerd like me.  The concept for this provocative new Star Trek movie that Lady GaGa fans flocked to see was not original.  It was rehashed from a movie that most of the douchebags that loved the new incarnation would call you a nerd for even viewing, much less liking.

Why is this a big deal?  It isn’t, I suppose.  Why do I care?  Because people are stupid and unaware of their surroundings.  I am constantly called names and mocked because I enjoy Star Trek: TNG.  It looks dated now and isn’t very relevant.  That does not negate the fact that during it’s run, “The Next Generation” housed some great plots, fantastic acting and warranted more praise that it received.   It’s fans do not deserve to be mocked by the same bandwagoning shitdicks that scream out thinks like: “Oh, Bra!  Did you peep that new Star Wars Trak movie with that hot black chick???? I was totally chilaxing when I watched that skiznictch!!”

Fuck that guy, that “Bra” that would say that shit.  Look at the posters for said movies.  I could make the argument that one was modeled after the other.  I assume the one in 2002 would not take cues from the poster created in 2009.  That same movie that the “Bra” loved was ripping off a movie he would mock you or I for watching.

THAT is why I wrote this and THAT is why I am wearing my white wig and slamming down my gavel at fans for the latest offering from the spawn of Gene Roddenberry.  Consider yourselves judged by Fukes, rubes.

If anyone goes old school, street team and flyers a parking lot or a campus, you win a prize.  Just get pics and post them here on the Fukerton.

Some Clever Movie Making

Some Clever Movie Making

Andrew Robinson. Is that name familiar?  Perhaps not. He’s an accomplished actor that has been in several hit television shows like Deep Space 9,  The A-Team, JAG and Without a Trace just to name a few.  What he is best known for is the bat shit crazy Scorpio Killer from “Dirty Harry.”    A role so defining that it would influence the rest of Robinson’s career. Check out the video above. Great acting is when you can’t tell its acting. That’s what I’d call what is going down on that school bus. That doesn’t look like a man portraying a psychopath, it looks like a psychopath.

Why am I bringing this up? It’s common knowledge for most movie buff’s out there. The reason it’s relevant to me is because of another great flick that was on over the New Years holiday. “Shoot to Kill” starring Sidney Poitier and Tom Berenger. It’s a fucking great survival/action/manhunt flick that takes place in the mountains of British Colombia. At one point during the movie, there is a group of men traveling through the wilderness on a fishing trip. As the viewer, we are aware that ONE of them is the antagonist of the film. A cold blooded murderer. The issue is, you don’t know which one it is.

Cue Robinson. He is cast as one of the men in this small group. Any movie buff worth his salt recognizes the Scorpio Killer immediately. So naturally you assume he is the villain the second he shows up on camera. The director of the film: Roger Spottiswoode must have not only been aware of this, but used it as a way to throw viewers off the track. It’s only later in the movie when Robinson is pitched off a fucking cliff by the REAL killer does the viewer realize it was all a ruse. A cunning attempt to try and trick us.  It’s a wonderful nod to an epic movie bad guy. I suggest you watch both films is you haven’t. Actually if you haven’t seen either one, I suggest you find your own cliff in the mountains of Canada and throw yourself off it. Happy New Year.

The Best Picture of the Year for 2010

The Best Picture of the Year for 2010

Stallone, Li, Statham, Dolph, Stone Cold, Arnold, Willis, The Wrestler, Roberts and who the hell else do you need? I look forward to clutching my chest and keeling over as soon as the credits roll for this masterpiece. God Bess Sly for giving men what they want. Twilight is not an action movie. Spiderman is not an action movie. The Expendable is a motherfucking action movie. Rock on, Rambo, John J.

Well this is embarrassing…

Well this is embarrassing…

Last night I was quite the gentleman. I stopped pounding beers and playing children’s games early to spend some quality time in the sack with my lady friend. Any what do I mean by quality time? Take the kids out of the room and I’ll give you the steamy details.

As great as it must be to jump in bed with this luscious, stud of a man, it’s really put into perspective when you lay eyes on this video. Please take into account the book being read, the show on TV and the tattoo on Ol’ Thad’s arm. Yep, that Princess Dukes is a lucky lady. You can REALLY see why she is so smitten with me. Ugh.

The StarParted

The StarParted

Now I admit that I am a fanboy. I can watch Star Wars videos on youtube for hours with a summer squash crammed up my ass. The Departed is also a movie where any variety of fruit or vegetable can go in through the out door and make for a wonderful viewing experience. Which is one of the many reasons that this mash-up trailer is so amazing. First off, they some how manage to find scenes from the Star Wars franchise where the dialogue matches up with the mouth movement from the characters. I watched the trailer for The Departed at least sixty times when it came out and the edit here is almost flawless. It’s also great hearing Jack Nicholson as the voice of Darth Costello.

For the same reason I am refer to my dog Murray as a Womp Rat, I give t you The Starparted. Make sure you favorite the owner on youtube, this thing is epic.
