Well, I didn't consider him as an actor, because that requires you to kinda... be able to act. :P :lol: *ducks baps*

Machias Banshee 10-18-2003 10:09 PM

Argh! Blasphemy!!! :evil: *tackles Kali*

*faints*

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only Trek fan here...

And how could I forget Brent Spiner????? Just the fact that he and I share the same first name is reason enough for him to be a favorite of mine :D

As far as Shatner is concerned, I'm with Kali on this one...that and the fact he's probably one of the biggest a-holes in the world! Let me put it this way: he was the first one voted off in the Star Trek stars episode of Weakest Link even though he did alright on his answers. Dig?

Leo656 10-18-2003 10:24 PM

He was good as General Mortars in "Loaded Weapon 1"... especially when he grabbed the pirahna out of Dennis Leary's fishtank with his teeth.

I forgot I also like Samuel L. Jackson a whole lotta bunch.

"In its own environment, the pirahna is a ferocious predator...in mine it's just a helpless little fish."

GK Punk 10-18-2003 10:35 PM

Hey, I'm a Trekker too.
ST:TNG Is my favorite series personally.

We should start our Own Star Trek thread

Leo656 10-18-2003 10:36 PM

Good as that was, my favorite exchange of dialog from that movie is still:

Emilio: "Who are you?"
Tim Curry: "I'm your woooorst nightmare!"
Emilio: "No..... waking up without my penis is my WORST nightmare....."
Tim Curry: "...........................Okaaaay... alright, so I'm not your WORST nightmare but I'm QUITE up there!"

:lol:

Machias Banshee 10-18-2003 10:41 PM

*blinks* for some reason, I'm starting to remember a scene....where i think it was Emilio, was looking at a magazine in a store, and shaking out all the subscription cards, and ending up in a giant mountain of them... and then another with Tim Curry in a girl scouts outfit, killing someone...

:blanksta:

*shudder*

Leo656 10-18-2003 10:47 PM

Yeah that was the very beginning of the movie.

"I know, I know, don't thank me... I'm just a cop, doin' his job."

((Emilio walks off smiling as three Hindus scream at him for blowing up their store to catch two stupid punks)) :lol:

Fugitoid Jones 10-18-2003 10:56 PM

Aw, c'mon, everybody is mentioning Star Trek actors, but nobody has mentioned my favorite besides Leonard Nimoy, Levar Burton. C'mon, Jordy, the dude with the Cyclops-wannabe visor, the guy who was also on Reading Rainbow? How can you guys forget him?

"But you don't have to take my word for it."

Leo656 10-18-2003 11:01 PM

Speaking of Star Trek actors.... AND Loaded Weapon...

Samuel L. Jackson's character is talking with the captain (the one from Last Action Hero who's always screaming) as they walk past an exploding Espresso machine...

Captain: "SCOTTY! Can you get this thing to work?!"
Scotty From Star Trek: "I'm givin' it all she's got, Capt'in! If I push 'er any harder, the whole thing'll blow!"

:D

Reznorite420 10-19-2003 12:49 AM

Speaking of Scotty, I guess James Doohan (the guy who played him) shold go on there too...

EZweasel 10-20-2003 04:04 AM

ive always hated star trek, its just a show about nothing. nothing interesting anyways.

impetus 10-20-2003 10:36 AM

the other people who just posted about Star Trek DID spell it right, you know...

Mars-Chan 10-20-2003 12:47 PM

ZING!! :lol:

That Matt Guy 10-20-2003 01:28 PM

I hated Star Track too, Star Trek on the other hand is not that bad.

damnhooligan 10-21-2003 01:21 PM

I'm indifferent about Star Trek. I was raised by "Trekkers" (They foam at the mouth if you call them Trekkies) and spent an unhealthy portion of my childhood crying in the corners of Star Trek conventions as Klingons and Borg loomed overhead. Hell, my father even once wore his Star Trek uniform to work under his regular uniform, and then stripped out of it after giving a public speech. (He's a Bird Colonel in the US Air Force... and yes, you should be scared.) My mum even tagged along just to snap pictures.

Though admittedly, watching the show(s) is a bit of a guilty pleasure. They're consistantly entertaining.

You obviously have never even seen it if you can't CAN'T EVEN GET THE F**KING NAME RIGHT!

Do I have to do an episode by episode synopsis on the best episodes of TNG again?

For the record:

Star Trek watchers != nerds (for the clueless, "!=" means "is not equal to")

Damnhooligan: IMO, there's a HUGE difference between "TrekkER" and "TrekkIE". A TrekkER is just a casual watcher of the show who might have a few other things associated with the series (such as video games), but that's it. That's what I consider myself.

TrekkIES, on the other hand, are just as pathetic as these over-obsessed Star Wars fanboys who collect anything and everything related to the shows/movies and talk about nothing but that 24/7, ones like your parents back in the days ;)

In short, TrekkERS are OK, TrekkIES need to be shot in the face.

Brodie 10-21-2003 04:23 PM

I was raised (kind of) by my dad, one of those drooling TrekkIES, you mention Diana Troy on the beach in a 2-piece and they drop the jaw. I couldn't stand that crap for the longest time. I hated James Bond too (Still do), because he would just watch those movies till the tapes melted. But I have to say, I did enjoy watching First Contact and Nemesis of the "Next Generation" series. But if given the choice between, say, Evil Dead 2, or something of that sort, it'd be Evil Dead 2, no doubt.



I hate Shatner....

Well, seeing as how there's no "Diana Troy" (not to sound like an "IE", but it's "Deanna Troi" :P), I don't see how that can happen ;)

Sorry I don't have a Trek-Dictionary.

That Matt Guy 10-21-2003 10:20 PM

Whats worse, uber geeky Star Trek fans or Star Wars fans?

Mars-Chan 10-22-2003 08:21 AM

STAR WARS FANS ARE NOT UBER GEEKY!!! :lol:
At least I don't think we are....

That Matt Guy 10-22-2003 09:14 AM

I don't mean a regular fan, I mean an obsessed fan. Ya know like people who dress up in Chewbacca suits and stuff.

Neither do I...apparently you are immune to the message smilies convey.

Matt: The Star Wars fans...at least the over-obsessed Trekkies aren't as ostentacious or well-known as "Warries".

Mars: geek != nerd ;)...to me at least, a "geek" is someone who's just a crazed fan of something or knows a lot a about the same something (like us; we're all TMNT geeks), whereas a "nerd" is the one with the highwater pants, buck teeth, inch-thick glasses, suspenders, and flaky voices, heh.

impetus 10-22-2003 10:17 AM

trekkies are certainly worse than wookiees

Tetsu Deinonychus 10-22-2003 07:45 PM

Could a mod please split this Star-Trek conversation into another thread so we can get back to actors? :)

lol I still remember the first topic I split
*has flashbacks*
(Too bad the last time I did it, I screwed up -_-)

anyways...

Trek's great I can't see how people can be so against the show.
For the Record, I'm also a Trekker. Never been to a trek con, never dressed in a trek uniform. But I do have a Couple of Com Badges and Action Figures.

When TNN/Spike TV started airing Next Gen, it made my day :)
(Especially since it comes on right before WWE RAW every monday)

That Matt Guy 10-23-2003 04:17 PM

I agree with Rez about the Star Wars fans being worse.

Mondo J. Gecko 10-23-2003 04:35 PM

I'm a Trekker too, well my Dad acttually is(not like dressing up or anything, he just enjoys the shows), I'm just a fan of Next Gen. and Voyager...... :D

Turtle Titan 10-23-2003 09:43 PM

Mondo, Mondo, Mondo..... Voyager?!? tisk tisk tisk.... The Next Generation and DS9
