Wrath of Khan is easily the best Trek movie; to be honest, I think it's probably the single greatest Star Trek anything ever.

The dude who played Khan's right-hand man was an actor, at least. He made a couple more appearances in TNG.

I love Kirk's eulogy. Not the end bit, "his [soul] was the most human," but one sentence earlier where Kirk says, "He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom." I love that line. "His profound wisdom."

What's interesting when you bring Aubrey/Maturin into it, is that Aubrey's career path makes movie-Kirk's handwringing about wanting to get demoted back to captain, ridiculous. And it makes the fetishization of the Enterprise across the various TV series, ridiculous. Aubrey (and Hornblower before him) held various

It certainly has one of the best ideas in all of Trek. The idea of the Voyager probe eventually encountering a machine civilization and returning to fuck with us is pretty cool.

Even if the person in question holds an opinion which is obscenely misguided

The dialog in STID's climax is cribbed literally word-for-word from Wrath of Khan.

I fucking LOVE Trek, but let's face it:

I was extremely annoyed by the '09 Trek, it took me a few days to fully grasp why. But I found Into Darkness basically enjoyable. Some fun fanboy Easter eggs, like the ship they took to Klinzhai (ha!) being the one they confiscated "last month during the Mudd affair".

NWA's story is much more vital and relevant to what's going on in the world these days than, say, a Pat Boone biopic would be.

1941 is awesome.

You have to realize that Moonraker is a surrealist comedy. Spy Who Loved Me has a lot of the same quality, but Moonraker pushes it so much further. It uses hazy dream logic to stage wonderful sequences that make no sense. Think of it as a predecessor to Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

Here we go, this is what I'm talking about – another quuote from the Esquire piece. This is where he's coming from, when he he talks about rubbish.

Keef is emphatically not wrong, if you focus on what he's actually saying. The quote here is:
“If you’re the Beatles in the ’60s, you just get carried away. The Beatles sounded great when they were the Beatles. But there’s not a lot of roots in that music. … [It's] kind of like Satanic Majesties—‘Oh, if you can make

Because "Bitch" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" are incredible.

It took me a while to stand back and realize the vast majority of his movies sucked.

I can't remember a lot of Octopussy except defusing a bomb in a clown suit

with (if I remember right) James using her cello itself as an rudder.
