Finally saw some of the new Star Trek movie*, I did not care for the new Spock character. And they made Kirk and Spock look so much alike, Some publicity stills follow to prove my point. . .
(*Okay Okay, I really haven't seen the actual movie yet, I needed some sort of lead-in for the cartoons. . .)
well they totally gacked up the history line which gives them a free license to write as they choose now...like any sequel or prequel if you will it takes a bit of getting used to...i wasnt overtly impressed with it but all in all it was as horrid as it could have been
ReplyDeletealso digging this cover of money
ReplyDeleteMy only comment is this better not be 8 years.
ReplyDeletelol, mmm I wonder if his hand sign is the new sign for money?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the movie... the best new young character in the film was Bones!! He did a wonderful job...
ReplyDeleteAnd Gator is right... this cover of Money is HOT!
I actually REALLY liked the new movie. Enough to see it twice. Of course, I'm not a die-hard Trekkie, so I was ok with the 'messing' with the time-line thingy.....
ReplyDeleteI wasn't hugely impressed with the young Kirk, but I loved the Spock character, and Bones! And Scotty! He was hilarious!
as usual, your political cartoons are so funny!
Love the cartoons, and just noticed your background scene. My dachshund caught his first mouse the other day. Looked pretty funny walking around with that long tail hanging out of his mouth!!!
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of Leslie King until finding this cover, plan to search for more of her songs. . .
ReplyDeleteHad not heard of Leslie King either but am going to have to make it unanimous on really liking the music!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHere is one, an ACDC cover, Shook me all night long:
ReplyDeletei have to find out more about her as well pengy ...shes still pretty much unknown..i went to her myspace page and was only a cpl hundred fans ...shes cali based LA I think..imagine that...
ReplyDeletei like it, gave it a 5 star rating. for the first time, capt. kirk doesn't look gay.
ReplyDeletesame song, might be a better recording, but she has a bit more whiskey gravel in her voice, and the harmonies seem tighter.
ReplyDeleteShe is on this ACDC tribute album, different female voices singing, and it seems another tribute album to Zed Zeppelin, also various female artists. that is all I could find. Wow, only a couple of hundred members on her page, she must be new, I think she will go far. Sign her up to the Swampy Bottoms record label!!!!
ReplyDeleteid love to she has a voice that im trying to place ...and i will dig up the dirt on her you did good finding her pengy
ReplyDeletethis is from the zepplin tributte album
ReplyDeleteOh Oh Oh OOOOH I like the way she says that!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWasn't Money originally done by Pink Floyd? Wonder if there is a third tribute album out there?

ReplyDeleteThe dish water beckons. . .
ReplyDeletelol well i know how penguins and water are so enjoy...and these will be waiting for you later ...peace my polar pal
ReplyDeleteI love to watch the original Star Trek Movies with the REAL Spock character -- and Spocks interaction with Bones and Kirk -- the sense of humor was classic !
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll make a point of seeing the new Star Trek movie !
Great tune!
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie a couple weeks ago. The only thing I had a difficult time swallowing was both Spocks together in the same time period.
I really agree with Duck on the Bones character, he was really the best of the bunch. Uhura's take in all this, was an interesting come together. The kid who played Kirk did show he was mistake prone and "human", and here we saw that "test" only Kirk could beat no one before or since has done. That was a nice touch.
If they do this again at all, keep it for tv and not the big screen. The thought of waiting 3 years to see the new crew again going where no toilet paper has gone before is just too much for me.

ReplyDeleteI liked the new movie and I feel it is a great beginning for a new direction. I think it will be interesting to see what they do with this.
It shall be fascinating experience and it may be amazing too.
I loved the new Star Trek!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI havent seen the new one yet either.... but I sure do like most of the star trek series... so hoping this one will be a good one as well.
