Roddenberry also saw his show as "Captain Horatio Hornblower in outer space" and that is always why Shatner's Kirk was the guts of original star trek and that is why paramount removing shatner in 1994's Generations was such an abomination to the original fan base. they kicked out shatner whether he wanted to go or not and this has had the effect of alienating first generation trekkers like myself and crippling star trek in total... BRING BACK SHATNER AS KIRK!...and then we'll talk about considering anything called star trek. we want a most fine valedictory encore exit worthy of Mr. Shatner as kirk...and if we doan get it, star trek continues to rot, that's all. paramount thinks they can go on with just the millennial fans? fine. lets see for how long.

it occurs to me that The Revenant is a remake of the 1970 film Man in the Wilderness starring Richard Harris.

Best Holiday Wishes to all from the Duval family (Jack, Alma, Buddy, Virginia and Billy) of New Orleans who appear in the film Hot Spell.

yeah, a lot of the reviews are positive and abrams does alotta homage to nostalgia. this is easier for abrams to pull off since abrams admitted he was not a trekker but a wookiee some time ago so it is far easier for him to do right by star wars than star trek. the special effects alone make this worth grabbing. I have this notion of an exchange between han and leia... han: "so you round up a general huh? you should of married me when you could have, sweetheart." leia: "up your blaster, you uncueth bore." (of course, she doan really mean it)

(gulp) yes, ma'am.

maybe if the reviews start changiing from positive to negative it will show up somewhere sooner to grab. torrents are now too dangerous so I always look for the goodies on fire sharing sites.

a female satan? gals, stop tryin' to cut in on our action. we guys are the big baddies...and proud of it!

well, it's the saturday after the big premiere and the initial fan reaction is not good. been reading some of what is being posted on IMDb. apparently the critics are full of it as usual because of their intellectual dishonesty facilitating hollywood disconnect. many posting say it is awful and a big letdown the film being essentially a millennial era remake of the first 1977 film. I guess that is why STAR WARS is back in the title. one poster said watching harrison ford's performance was like watching a grandfather clock run down. doan think I'll even waste my time grabbing it, just the john williams music. return of the jedi was 32 years ago. it took fuzzy-faced george lucas 3 decades to figure out the prequel films were a waste of time? and now this? ford is right. lucas is a wookiee.

by getting a handle on all this spam that keeps showin' up.... TCM WARS : THE SPAM AWAKENS

I guess wookiees doan need clothes either?

there's no puzzle. prewitt shoulda sung out to somebody about not only his own mistreatment but also about what maggio told him before he kicked off, instead prewitt takes the law into his own hands and destroys himself morally. like warden said while staring down at prewitt's dead carcass "you just couldn't play it smart, could ya?"

I doan know. judson was obviously a psycho and used his position at the stockade to torture and cause the death of maggio by compelling him to escape. in turn prewitt felt compelled to avenge the death of his friend but if he felt morally corrupted by committing an act of murder then he wasn't thinking, he was reacting. so who's to say that prewitt was anymore comtemplative in his thought processes by choosing to absorb abuse from holmes and galovitch rather than sing out about it? warden and the other non-comms knew what was happening and did nothing. should warden really have deferred to prewitt's stubbornness and let him absorb the punishment? prewitt was too self-absorbed proving to himself that he could take anything heaped upon him that ultimately his approach cost him everything including his life. yet we are supposed to admire prewitt's unrelenting tenacity and hardcase-ism. so prewitt kills himself but pearl harbor just happened so who cares?

I didn't mean to upset you, LawrenceA, so I woan bring up star trek again in this thread. I have no plans to see the force awakens at the movies so I would appreciate any input from those who do go to see it as to what they think of it compared to the original 3 trilogy films. like is the new john williams score worth grabbing.

my point is shatner has been deliberately locked out of star trek since 1994. they coulda done a resurrect kirk story like star trek III and shatner probably would have liked to have done it. since 1994 paramount has conspired to not let shatner play kirk ever again! what kind of regard is that for star trek's television legacy? that's de fe cat ing on the original fan base... and being 85 wouldn't hinder william shatner from reprising kirk in audio form in a star trek CD audioplay but paramount will deny millions of first generation trekkers even that.

so prewitt expected the guards to be complete slackers in the aftermath of a surprise japanese attack?

he kills sgt. fatso judson, boozes it up with a nagging donna stone and then seriously wounded, tries to make it back and gets shot. even newman's lucas jackson wasn't particularly enamored of his fortunes being such a hardcase. but robert e. lee prewitt gets it going his own way! "my next li..life I take up mountain climbing."

I think abrams musta gotta lotta help from lawrence kasdan. but hey, if itza good film so much the better for this aging trekker.

mcdonalds has sucked for decades. burger king is so much better. my sister recently got a take-out from burger king and she could easily taste the superiority. for example, mcdonald's spindly fries very quickly become waxy and dried out while burger king fries are tender and delicious for a good long time.

maybe I'm wrong? I have to grab it when able and give it a look.

does paramount think they've waited shatner out long enough yet so he's now too old to ever effectively play kirk again???... the skunks!

paramount would never have found it necessary to slouch back to the tos visual look if they hadn't of killed off shatner as kirk in generations... and deliberately decided to keep him dead! that move is what has crippled star trek to the present. STAR TREK 1966 - 2009

sure. successful with millennials. but the heart of true and genuine star trek is still with us... William Shatner! and all the millennial era cgi HS can't negate that.

dam right. svengoolie and his rubber chickens are lame. the three best horror TV hosts I know of are philadelphia's Dr. Shock (I caught his very first show on WPHL Channel 17), the drop dead gorgeous Elvira cassandra peterson and the great Commander USA. quite frankly, svengoolie is the lamest most unfunny horror TV host I have ever seen. koz is a total putz.

bill hader is very smart and I hope he he gets a chance to do more Herb Welch.

I used to think it was per instead of pre too.
