Keaton's standup is worth checking out too as he was an old school comedy store guy.

Watched a Chilean found footage film called Invoking Yell the other night, about a female black metal duo who go out in the woods to record EVP for their demo..with spooky results. Average enough but I quite enjoyed it, and didn't treat the Metal aspect as a joke for once, sort of actually captured that naive teenage "more kvlt/trve than you" attitude of the 90s. Did not expect Atomic Aggressor to get namechecked in a movie.

First four Star Trek films (DVD marathon, yes, DVDs). Only three of the original cast remain with us today, as of 2025 (William Shatner (Captain James T. Kirk), Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov), and George Takei (Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu).

My ranking of them would be (from worst to best)

Star Trek 3 The Search For Spock : (interesting world (space?) building
Star Trek 1  The Motion Picture : (interesting towards the end but a little dull getting there)
Star Trek 4 The Voyage Home :  A silly story but works for me
Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan : (Space warfare)


These movies are dated but I Couldn't care less about any of the new generation ones. Have never seen part 5 or part 6 'Generations'.

Keaton is a gas cunt. His episode with Norm MacDonald is great. Watched Birdman again this year or last. Great stuff.

Love him in Back to the Future and other things, but Christopher Lloyd was real bad casting for The Search for Spock.

Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on September 06, 2025, 09:31:16 PMLove him in Back to the Future and other things, but Christopher Lloyd was real bad casting for The Search for Spock.

Yes. I kept hearing him saying "Great Spock!" in my head while watching ST3.


Lloyd was perfect in that role, the casual ruthlessness was as Klingon as it gets. The only issue with STIII was Savik being recast.

That rating is wrong too, it's II - III - IV - I.

And Generations is the seventh, not sixth film.

Of the original crew... [edit: Best to worst]
II, IV, V, VI, III, I

With TNG crew...
Generations and First Contact were good. Well I enjoyed them, anway.
The other two (Nemesis and Insurrection) were quite poor.

Don't get me started on the reboot movies.

Wow ..wasn't aware ST 1 was so popular.  I mean, I like it but only when it gets going. Not to mention the various versions of it which can get confusing. 2 I like for the warfare side drama of it.

Made a mistake there with 6, havent seen any post IV movies so am a little mixed up

II, VI, III, IV, I, V would be my order for the orignal crew movies. V is absolutely terrible, Shatner needs a good smack for that one.

I think jobrok and Carnage were putting ST1 last there. I quite like it, but the Wrath of Khan is clearly the runaway best one. So much so that I might not even bother ranking the others. You should check out V and VI, I seriously doubt you'll regret it.

Generations is the best of em.

Yes!
I fucked up the order.
Mine are a best to worst.

Same.

The Next Gen ones aren't great in general. I don't mind Nemesis though I'm 8n the m8nority there, and the more I see  Insurrection the more it grows on me.
