Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Trailer for the remastered 40th Anniversary Star Trek. They even rerecorded the music… Overall, it doesn’t look that much different. More OT 2004 than OT 1997, if you catch my drift. Of course, this is a trailer, so they don’t give you too close a look at the CGI bits. (And scrunchy web video resolution doesn’t help matters.)
Meanwhile, over at Blog@Newsarama, the Grumpy Old Fan has some thoughts on the matter…
In our ongoing series defecting to the Trek franchise, we point out the pretty pictures posted by SciFi Wire in their gallery.
You can find a list of the affiliates airing the remastered episodes at StarTrek.com.
I’m late today, sorry. My teleporter broke. Hopefully this vast array of Star Trek videos will make up for my tardiness. (Hey, it’s forty years. I can give them a video post.)
The Kirk/Spock ‘Closer’ fanvid that’s burning up the internets. Yup, that’s the fandom that invented slash… Like you had any doubts.
Shatner’s infamous “Get a Life” clip from Saturday Night Live.
Nerf Herder sings about Mr. Spock. FANDOM BETRAYERS! Erm, good show, mates!
Betty White roasts William Shatner. Who knew that sweet little old lady could be so dirty?
Funny commercial for Star Trek: Enterprise.
Of course, no collection of videos is complete without a Monty Python mashup.
These Trek highlights from Youtube user m185874 are not be missed. He has uploaded fanvids from other series – most notably Babylon5 – that promise to be at least half as hilarious as these:
– Bohemian Rhapsody
– I Will Survive
– I’m Too Sexy
– The Time Warp
And, of course… KHHAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!
Steve Irwin’s spirit lives on… (Thanks, Broox!)
It appears that George Lucas isn’t the only one who enjoys “continuing work” on a franchise.
Starting on September 16th, Star Trek is getting a facelift. They’re going to “update” the original series to feature more modern special effects.
This includes redoing the opening, space shots and “some” interior effects.
Really. Go read for yourself!
The first Battlestar Galactica webisodes launched today. No surprise – it’s already up on Youtube. What is surprising? The New York Times gets in on the action.
I think this might actually be worse than redoing the original trilogy – isn’t half the charm of Star Trek how unapologetically awful the effects are?
Someone on Battlestar Galactica is going to die! I recall earlier reports that said one of our Cylon friends would be receiving the do not pass go, do not collect $200 treatment. Plus, webisodes are coming!
In the meantime, feed your sinister urges with the new S3 promo pictures.
Stargate SG-1 may live to see another season after all… MGM is thinking about shopping it around.
