He said Star Trek is too “philosophical”? Screw that noise.

mechcanuck:

I don’t know when this interview happened but I AM SAD AND ANGRY NOW

The philosophies in Star Trek are kinda part of the actual setting. If you don’t get that, why are you allowed to make Star Trek movies.

Sigh. The whole point of Star Trek is that it’s philosophical. If you don’t want philosophical Science Fiction, there’s plenty of that for you to enjoy, but Star Trek is philosophical. Philosophy is part of Star Trek’s DNA, and if you’re given the captain’s chair, you’d better damn well respect that.

colchrishadfield:

Almost time to leave Station. Hard to express all of my emotions, but mostly gratitude. I came here on behalf of so many people - thank you.

I am so thoroughly impressed with this guy and his colleagues. I think he has a bright future (astronaut lol).

Behind the scenes of Blade Runner

I still think this movie is one of the futuristic movies made in the 80s that still is totally futuristic today

Recognize these photos? If you’ve seen Star Wars, you probably do.

This the abandoned set of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker’s home planet. A photographer accidentally stumbled upon the set, which sits in the Tunisian desert. They sit in perfect stillness, at the crest of the Sahara Desert, eaten away by dust and sand.

Come one, come all to Bill Shatner’s School of Overacting!

Forget subtle, nuanced performances. Those are boring and forgettable. Learn how to say your lines with gusto!

In this course you will learn such techniques as…

The double fist shake

The naughty kitten

The cultural appropriation

The self bitch slap

The enthusiastic mime stuck in a box

The nipple hardener

The sweaty declaration of self

The “this wall is amazing”

And many more!

Baby, if I was William Shatner I’d be touching my nipples ALL. THE. TIME.

If girdles could talk.

This is pretty incredible, Vimeo video maker Kevin George has taken some original TOS footage, cut out all the actors, and added a brand new CGI bridge around them. Slightly crazy thing to do, but amazing that he pulled it off so well!
