Christine Rains, C. Lee McKenzie and Tara Tyler are hosting a Winter Bloghop which I spotted over at the writegame.blogspot.com. Its all good fun. The idea is to shake
off the seasons blues by posting a fun MEME on whatever cosmically takes your fancy. All you have to
do is select a favorite image (You've probably guessed that I love Science Fiction.) Now warp over
to https://imgflip.com/memegenerator, upload - type in your words/quotes and publish!
I found an amusing snap from Galaxy Quest with "Sir Alexander Dane" (Alan Rickman) chatting with co-star Gwen deMarco (Sigourney Weaver) over
the phone. (He's alone in his apartment, STILL wearing his latex Alien Scalp on his head.) Gwen is upset
because their supreme commander "Captain Jason Nesmith" freaked out bigstyle with a fan.
Star Trek Beyond Will Mix Things Up in Its Plot, Jumping Forward in Time! is the latest scoop to hit
the trekkie sphere over at Master Herald. Star Trek Beyond Won't Be A Traditional Kirk-Spock
Adventure according to cinemablend. Almost everyone knows poor William Shatner is not in the movie. To keep everything on track, heres Director Justin Lin's "INSIDER VIEW" on ‘Star Trek Beyond’ Criticisms:
“We Are Trying to Be Bold and Take Risks”
was Posted by Peter Sciretta over at Slashfilm recently. Heres a few quotes from J. Linn who explains why
trek's trailer was mind boggling.... to be kind. Justin Lin Quote 1
Well, its a minute and a half, you know… And again, there were other versions that were much more
traditional and I can see where maybe the hardcore fans could probably see that as, “Oh.” But with
trailers you’re putting a two-hour movie into a minute and a half, and the one thing I wanted to
make sure is that it hopefully represents that we are trying to be bold and take risks, whether we
are successful or not, I don’t know. That was something I was excited to do and with collaborators
like Simon [Pegg] and Doug [Jung], passion for the franchise will be there regardless. So however
it’s presented, yeah it’s a minute and a half, and my challenge to everyone making the trailer is
about saying “let’s not go off course, I’m not afraid to share — share it, I feel like we have the
goods in a two-hour run and you really do get to know the characters and hopefully the journey is
great. I love it and the cast did an amazing job and the crew… and the inside baseball version of
the creation of this Trek was pretty condensed in how you usually make a movie of this size. And I
wanted us to be bold, I wanted us to take chances and hopefully in a minute and a half we are able
to convey that.
THESE ROCKS ARE NOT FAKE, WELL THATS NOT TYPICAL!
Justin Lin Quote 2
Yeah, and I don’t know if that’s the case here. When I saw the teaser, I’m like, aw shit. You
really have to put the motorcycle in there? So I get it, I get it, I get it.
Justin Lin Quote 3 (Music)
It’s in the DNA of this canon. It was in the ’09 Trek, and we went through different iterations of
the teaser and I wanted to make sure whatever here is using all the elements from the film. It’s
been a part of this Kirk’s journey and so I felt it was very organic, and it will ultimately be in
the finished film.

Justin Lin Quote 4 (Lin VS Pegg)
The one thing that was when I came on this [film project], I didn’t even realize how emotional my
level of engagement with Trek was until the first day of preproduction when I walked into the
hallway of the Enterprise and it hit me. It’s part of me but my level of engagement with Trek was
really from 8 to 18, when I would watch Trek at 11 PM on channel 13 with my dad. He worked all day,
closed shop at 9 PM and dinner at 10 and watched Trek. And so a lot of that is trying to create
something that embraces the essence of Trek for me. Simon has a very different level of engagement,
and Doug also has a very different… so it’s awesome to get in there and have those collaborators and
have that discourse about how we were going to craft this movie. ‘Cause Simon, he knows EVERYTHING
about Trek and it’s great to have those guys with me the whole way.
Art is the wonderful mirror of humanity..... When Chris Pine says this, Simon Pegg is seated looking
at him. I have no idea how Pegg kept such a straight face but he did - right to the very end of the
video - Hilarious.
Justin Lin Quote 5 (Star Trek Beyond Title)
He kind of tracked me down and we’re talking and I didn’t know what to expect. I thought maybe he
was offering to go shoot a script that existed and he said, no, it’s yours. Go and be bold. And just
take it. Be bold and make it what you think you would do to Star Trek. And the more we talked about
it, the more we kept saying, well let’s keep pushing. Let’s keep pushing. And that’s when Simon kind
of said, well it should be Star Trek Beyond. And it was his idea. And it was kind of came from all
our conversations. And we looked at each other and like oh, that sounds like the title of this film.
And the interview goes on and on. All this awesomeness over one trailer, aren't we spoilt? For more Star Trek Beyond analysis, warp over on over to Slashfilm Page 2 and Slashfilm Page 3
Star Trek Beyond Trailer 2 has yet to beam across the galaxy. It seems Justin Lins fast and furious motorcycles, sexy aliens and bigger explosions is taking trekland by surprise..
The Beastie Boys track "Sabotage" is just the beginning of all out war! Will Star Trek Beyond reignite the philosophical trekkie fundamentals of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek or cause utter chaos?
After the partial rehash of Star Wars, can Star Trek follow in Han Solo's footsteps and score big at the box office? The only hitch is William Shatner isn't in the movie. Its a real pity too because all we need is the Solo ending sending Grandpa Kirk off in style.
Visualize Admiral Kirk hamming it up with a stake through the heart as hes being jettisoned out an airlock, Hammer Horror style! Is less more? Was once enough? Is Galia or Uhura the most likely candidate to kill captain Kirk?
Live long and be prosperous, trekkers and trekkies.
