Atta' boy Luther!
@jackpoe72.bsky.social
Just a Star Trek nerd, web developer (29y), graphic designer, old movie fanatic, cigar smoker, sometimes professor, and general curmudgeon from Ohio. I have a ridiculous number of new and vintage toys too....
Between Nova and ROM his art was a huge reason I went to art school. RIP to a legend.

Watched "The Guest" (2014) last night. Great film. The intensity of Dan Stevens is a tangible thing.

Instantly made me think of V'Gyr
"Is this all there is? Is there nothing more?"

No. It's bad. Here are some review excerpts I have seen.

"The Worst Dialogue In All Of Star Trek"

"Another aggressively shallow, visually garish, and spiritually lost exercise in the machine of corporate slop that's plagued Trek for the last decade."

It's bad, people. It's so bad.

The first class three kill storm of the year is upon is.

At present, in Dayton, OH, it is 9° with a wind chill of 1°. Overnight, 2° and -10°
We are expecting 12" of snow and -20° this weekend.

Remind me why I live in this @#$%&! state?!?

I grew up in National City just south of San Diego 😫

Are you psyched, Foofie?

This seems to be LOADED with euphemisms.

My old cat, Grumpy, loved it when I would sing What's Going On or Mercy Mercy Me to him.

#StarTrek My review of Star Trek The Motion Picture along with the following additional note.

Modern Trek producers would be incapable of making a Trek film or series with the intelligence and grace of TMP.

"No! B e l a y t h a t p h a s e r o r d e r!"

Still a damned pretty film after all these years.

This was a fairly rough list to make. 86 had some great films....

The answer to yesterday's post was "Tickle Me" from 1965. A hilarious and silly romp that doesn't take itself seriously. The whole end of the film plays out like a Scooby Doo episode too. Highly recommended.

As for my favorite Elvis song...

Okay movie nuts! I am watching another of Elvis' films tonight....one that contains my personal favorite of his songs. Anyone want to take a stab at the name of the film and guess the song?

And yes, that is Julie Adams of Creature From The Black Lagoon!

"You shall not pass!!!"

Been spending many hours (over seven so far) watching the extended cuts of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The Balrog of Morgoth is still one of the best creature designs in film history.

What are some others?

When I was a kid in San Diego, it was The AMC Plaza Bonita in National City
My teen years it was The Salem Mall here in the Dayton area
In college it was the Cinemark on Bethel in Columbus - movies cost $3 and we were all poor college kids.
Lately, if and when we go, it's the Rave in Huber Heights.

Observation: If you don't like Neelix, you're a jerk.

He kept up morale when the crew was at their lowest. He was resourceful; saving the crew from starving, finding supplies to keep them going, and helping navigate the quadrant. He was kind, loyal, and brave.

A top-notch character.
