curated: Star Trek Continues E09: “What Ships Are For”
I love this series!
Star Trek
Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (aka Dead Men Tell No Tales) movie review: yo ho no
The franchise finally overstays its welcome with this cacophony of CGI spectacle, a contrived and confusing plot, and a newly cruel and stupid Jack Sparrow.
curated: Star Trek Continues E08: “Still Treads the Shadow”
I’m still absolutely thrilled at what a perfect pastiche of the original Star Trek series this fan-made project is.
curated: why Star Trek remains so relevant…
Infinite facepalms in infinite combination…
The Magnificent Seven movie review: a dusty, dry husk of a movie
Humorless, rote, clichéd, and entirely unsurprising. Antoine Fuqua attempts to recapture old Hollywood magic — and fails — rather than create his own.
new Star Trek Continues! E07: “Embrace the Winds”
This might be my favorite episode yet.
Star Trek Beyond movie review: future positive (but it won’t come easily)
Intense action; smart, funny nods to its roots while moving in a new direction; and explicit confrontation of a problem always at the heart of Star Trek.
Warcraft: The Beginning (aka Warcraft) movie review: guest review by a white male teenage nerd from 1987
Like all Frazetta fantasy posters came to life all at once. A masterpiece of cinema that truly speaks to the interests of white male teenage nerds from 1987.
Ratchet & Clank movie review: wretched and junk
Could have been assembled entirely from clips from other movies — mostly the Star Wars prequels — and would have been better if it had been.
Star Trek Continues continues with E05: “Divided We Stand”
I think this is actually the weakest STC episode yet, storywise. But the original series had weak episodes, too, so that’s part of the tradition.
