catalenamara's LJ site to this vid using clips of early Leonard Nimoy movies.Wonderful - I particularly like the lip movement at 0:31 and look at that familiar eyebrow tilt at 2:34 to 2:36.
Love that man - then as now.
Nemesis...
Aug. 3rd, 2010 06:54 pmDay 13 - A movie that is a guilty pleasure
I don't have guilty pleasures. I either like something, or I don't. I don't generally care what other people think, though I sometimes find it perplexing when people don't like the same things I do.
So. Movies... the closest I can think of to mention is Star Trek Nemesis, which I enjoyed, though it seems to be one of the less popular Star Trek movies.
Over and over and over...
Jul. 27th, 2010 06:13 pmDay 08 - A movie that you've seen countless times
Star Trek: The Motion Picture with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, 1979.
When this movie came out, I'd just discovered Star Trek a few months earlier, and I'd been doing anything I could to get to see the episodes - those were antediluvian times when you couldn't just buy or rent the DVDs, and they weren't on tv much. Sundays at 11 a.m. on CBC, one episode at a time. We didn't even have VCRs. It was exciting, and in many ways, it was my first shared fandom. My first discovery of slash, too.
Very exciting. So I just kept going back to see the movie, again and again.
From war to civilisation...
Sep. 17th, 2009 10:53 pmDon and I went to day to to the War Museum. I was amused that the signs pointing the war to it simply say WAR with an arrow.
Then we went to the Museum of Civilization and wandered exhibits of the Tlingit and Nisga'a cultures, where we saw information about the oolichan - a kind of smelt which was the basis of the Nisga'a economy, and it appears (from the Wikipedia entry) that the word is cognate with "hooligan". Who'd have guessed?
And because we could - we saw Star Trek on the big screen at the IMAX theatre. Way cool.
Nice day.
- Had a wonderful, wonderful lunch at Infusion Bistro with maaseru. Tomato bisque, unbreaded calimari, and crème brulée. Heaven.
- Last night, just before going to bed, I was looking something up in the dictionary by my bedroom door and backed into the shelves holding my CDs. It fell over, knocking down my lamp and landing on my dehumidifier. All three shattered - CDs and their cases all over the room, splintered shelves, bits of plastic.... Sigh. Last night I groaned and said, "I'll deal with it in the morning." So I spent this morning cleaning up the debris.
- Did my French assignment a full day early. Yay me!
- Went to the CBC building on Sparks Street to hear maaseru, vertre and Felicity interviewed on All In a Day about the new Star Trek movie, which they - we - all loved. Here they are, waxing eloquent.
- Talked to my father's attorney about some post-death business. She has dogs. Cool.
- I then had a lovely dinner with vertre at Swiss Chalet.
- Came home and watched Supernatural with explodedteabag: episode 2x15, "Tall Tales". Fun. (But no Castiel.)
When fandoms colide...
Feb. 12th, 2009 10:43 pmI loved this: John Barrowman interviews William Shatner about Star Trek Generations for Live and Kicking on BBC1. I love Shatner's deadpan answers: "I'm going to give you all the insider information... It's all real."
Must have been done in 1994 - fifteen years ago.
And now Star Trek is again on our minds, because of the new movie. I thought my love of that old fandom was long gone, but... not quite. Not quite.
Old fandoms might lie down for a while, but they never really die.
