That’s a shame. Some of the best movie riffs of the whole series (Santa Claus, Space Mutiny, which is possibly the single funniest show of the whole series) are Mike episodes. I do appreciate the charm of Joel, though.

Fountain is PHENOMENAL. It makes writing so fast and easy, you can do it in any text editor, and it’s everything-compatible, whereas your celtx and fdr files may not be legible if the companies go belly-up decades from now. Fountain files are plaintext and if all else fails they are totally legible that way. Fantastic…

Denzel is the only other actor who comes to mind, though he’s now in the later phase of his career. But back in the day, he could do all sorts of random movies (“Devil in a Blue Dress,” “Out of Time,” “Fallen”), some of which were awesome and some of which were kinda lame. He was absolutely the other bankable black…

Blame Enterprise insisting on explaining it. DS9 had the PERFECT explanation (Worf: “We do not discuss it with outsiders”) and they could have just LEFT it. But no. They had to go in and make it worse.

I hope CBS is just saying “fuck it” - it’s a makeup change, let it be a makeup change.

And this!

“Tightrope” and “Dance Apocalyptic” are everything

Another consideration is that these are union shows, so to crowdsource the edit would be breaking the original union contracts.

Came here for this.

There’s actually an easter egg if you ask for “Tea, Earl Gray, Hot.”

Other easter eggs include:

“What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?”
“Can entropy be reversed?”
“Open the pod bay doors.”

As I understand it those recordings are the property of the producers of Trek, and they were made specifically for future TV shows.

Wife and I tried it for a day. We are huge Star Trek fans so at first it was amazing. It was awesome for about an hour, but “Alexa” works MUCH better - rolls off the tongue more easily, etc. We changed it back later that evening.

I do think if we had more automation like lights or thermostat it’d make more sense.

I was one of those assholes for a long time. I did day to day work in the film industry at the below-the-line level. I made a middle class income.

All that money being stolen by piracy wouldn’t have gone to me anyway, and piracy never - not once - affected my ability to get work. I never had a show that got taken off…

That was an incredible goddamn camera. It’s a shame.

As a film teacher, I occasionally shoot Super 8 with my students. It has TREMENDOUS educational value. Everything is manual, everything is in camera, and without LCD’s or memory cards, etc. you really have to plan all your shots out in advance. No safety nets. My kids learn how to truly shoot good material instead of…

Those are all staged though.

STAR WARS
EPISODE VIII
THE FORCE HAS LUNCH

LUKE AND REY ARE STILL STANDING
ON THE PLANET ACH-TO AND
STARING AT EACH OTHER. NO ONE
HAS SAID ANYTHING YET.

IT’S GETTING A BIT AWKWARD.

I saw it at the Austin Film Festival in October. If you love musicals, if you love Kelly and Astaire (and especially Jacques Demy), you are gonna FREAK OUT. The trailers don’t really give anything away and they undersell how awesome the movie is and how well it honors and respects the MGM musicals of the 40's and 50's…

Basically the Dr. saw the vaginas and saw what looked like tears/scars and assumed trauma. Years later the science had advanced and now we know that those mini tears are normal in children and not due to trauma. Dr. Kellogg was brave enough to come forward and recant her testimony which was very brave of her to do.

There was no vagina trauma. The original examiner recanted their testimony which was based on now debunked methods. It was junk science.

There are so many here:
