Star Trek XI (2008)

Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Damnit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a physicist!


Thankfully twas no dream, I found it on IMDB. That actor nailed McCoy.

The whole chemistry deal works, cause it's Kirk, Spock and McCoy. Those personalitys really gel.

Logic, Ego and Super Ego. (kind of like the 3 kings out of Dark Tower 7)

Spock is logic, McCoy is Ego or random or the baser emotions, and Kirk is Super Ego, the one who takes and has both and makes the decision on how to act.

Guy who plays McCoy fuckin' nailed DeForest Kelly's take on the character. My personal favorite part of the movie. Easily.

-HECK!

Yeah, I know I been a tear fest Oprah weenie lately, but when McCoy was on the shuttle going up first time we see him, I started tearing up it was so cool.

Geek levels were out of control, Whidden's hormones went into geekdom overdrive.

We may go see it again today. Sandy liked it. Everyone I'v met who has seen it likes it. Almost a perfect movie. Had a few plot holes, but I didn't even care it was so cool dammit.

Just saw it again.

A few more things:

McCoy: Are you out of your Vulcan mind?


McCoy: Green Blooded Hog Goblin!


When the Romulan got sworded by Sulu, he had Green blood on the sword.

Uhura had the giant ear piece in her ear.

At the very end when Kirk has the gold uniform for the first time, he comes onto the bridge and says "Bones..." in the best Shatner-ish way. Teatro.

-HECK!

the other time he went pure out Shatner, was in the Kobi OM test, uhura didn't call him captain, so he said the sentence she said, then paused, then said Captain.

That's all very well and good, but there was no corn and there was no cheese. How can you honestly call this a Star Trek movie?

I'm sure the next two will be pretty good, then Paramount will screw it up with some top execs coming in wanting to put their two cents in on the project.

Then we will get back to sucky movies.

But till then, we got it made baby!!!

They may even screw it up with the second movie, who knows?

They might. Exec's are jerkwads. They swoop in with their ideas and screw up a movie bigtime.

Hopefully, Abrams' can keep control of the movies, and the Parmount loser execs will keep their stupid opinions to themselves. It's a power play, no telling what will happen.

But Abrams did a good job with the first one, maybe he will have the ultimate power the second time around. Me hopes, me hopes!

And he was eating that apple, just like in the cave on the Genesis base in Trek II.

-HECK!

I forgot about that. Havn't seen ST2 in some time.

Abrams must have watched it before directing. Good for him.

I'm glad he pulled this off, because Mission Impossible 3 kinda sucked. I was worried. Turns out my worries were crap, thank the maker.

Hands down, McCoy was (actor who did him) was just the living ****ing presence of Deforest Kelly. Nailed it.

It was almost like his ghost came out of the ether and picked the role back up. I loved it.

Heheh, I called it, didn't I? Karl Urban did me proud. Best movie of the year, and it BETTER WIN A FREAKIN OSCAR FOR SOMETHING!!

I'd never seen Karl Urban before this movie, this guy is going somewhere.

Dude has a presence. That's hard to find.

I'd have the ship fly into a quantam wormhole and come out in another universe with Kirk still alive in it.

July 2007 Whidden had the plot down I must say.

I always thought he was that country singer who married Nicole Kidman, so I was incredibly impressed.

They need to show us Klingons. There weren't any in this movie, were there?

Think this was the first Trek film without a Klingon actually.

I'm sure we'll be up to our pits in Klingons soon enough.

-HECK!

This is correct, no Klingons in actor form, but they did mention them and fight them (the ships) in the simulator. So it wasn't 100% pure Klingon free.

Plus I include the KINGon Burger King ads in dogma, so they show up in that. Kinda.

I seen that dude on a George Straight special a week or so back. He had a Aussie accent. He did some old Marty Robbins tunes. I really dug his voice. First time I heard him sing.

Hey, I gotz a link: I don't like the first tune too much, but then he does that El Paso song, and I really dig that one. Heard it ten billion times as a wee lad.

Yes, he is an aussie. That makes the fact that he performs so well in Star Trek all the more impressive.

It is the same guy right? Karl, Keith.... can't be a coincidence.

When's this coming on DVD? Or Blu-Ray rather. This is something I need to have on Blu-Ray.

I'd assume at the end of the year. Still taking in money at the BO. Hopefully earlier. I think this will be the first Blu Ray I buy.

-HECK!

I have The Dark Knight on Blue Ray, which is awesome. Star Trek will be my second Blue Ray.

I want Tombstone on Blue ray as well...and the good the bad the ugly

That's a damn good Blu Ray collection. Best of the best.

Trek and the original holy Star Wars trilogy need to be added.

Oh, and Die Hard.

-HECK!

I might get Big Lebowski on Blue Ray.

I only have Spider-Man 3 on blu ray. It was 7 bucks, so I got it.
