KAHNnnnnnnnnn

[rpmcarter]

just had to watch it while I cleaned house. But oddly I noticed that there is a LOT of sexual innuendo :huh: The one that caught my attention "prepare to enter course" I'm sure the geeks will say well duhhh we've know that for years.

 

[Luke]

what about "Iam given her all I've got captain" or the sexually ambiguous "beam me up scotty" Unless you talking about Genghis Khan then your on your own

 

[caspianwendell]

Had ole kirk on all day. The whale one is probably my favorite with all the colorful metaphors, and the old lady growing a new kidney.

 

[Kit Sullivan]

How in the world is "Beam me up, Scotty!" possibly construed as sexually ambiguous?

Nevermind the fact that Kirk never said those exact words in any episode or movie...

LOL.... lets go with Scotty version.

It was explained to me by a couple of young people with intellectual disability that I sometimes work with. Kirk wants to be up Scotty,never thought of it before that moment now I find it funny,mostly because I remember those boys laughing like demons about it. As for exact phraseology I will take your word on it not a big Trekkie so to speak

 

[rpmcarter]

I can officially say I can count on my fingers how many Star Treks I've watched. I did however go to the theater to see the Rath because that was a time of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica.

But for a movie that was "simple" entertainment I didn't find the need to recall precise phrases or articulate the actual use of such.

 

[Mister 4x4]

He never actually said the words, "Beam me up, Scotty," in that order. He did, say in Star Trek IV, "Scotty, Beam me up."

Not a sci-fi geek at all... rofl

I thought the whale one was one of the dumbest. It included Scotty trying to talk into a mouse and when that didn't work he used the keyboard and was some kind of fast typing expert on it. Funny but dumb.

Also, why did they have to bring the whale? No speakers?

I am a fan of the series and the movies.

I watched Galaxy Quest a week ago for the third or fourth time. That's a funny movie.

 

[Kit Sullivan]

They had to bring the whales forward in time to speak to the probe that was destroying the Earth's atmosphere. The probe's signal it was sending out was a question in whale-speak that only a humpback whale could answer. The humans could not decipher whale speak, so there was no way to know how to communicate with it.

Corny set-up by today's story-telling standards, for sure...but back in 1986 it was topical stuff. Leonard Nimoy (the director) is a socially and enviromentally-concious sort of guy, so he wanted to say something about endangered species.

This movie was specifically written for and aimed at an audience that had not neccesarily ever seen any Satr Trek episode or movie before, to widen it's hopefull audience. This led to a little goofiness and discontinuity that dissapoints some die hard fans, but it worked; it was the highest-grossing of all the Star Trek movies.

Ok, I admit it: I like Star Trek.

 

[Mister 4x4]

Well, considering that nobody can interpret or decipher whale song, it made sense to bring actual live whales, rather than just throw random whale sounds into the sky. We could've been broadcasting insults or "please destroy this planet" kind of sounds, after all. :dodgy:

I was more surprised that the Klingon ship's on-board computer had so much knowledge of Earth's animal species - including the ones that are supposedly extinct.

Galaxy Quest rocked! ::thumb:: I wish there would've been a sequel.

 

[rpmcarter]

The only thing remotely entertaining would have been skinny Kristi Ally and a probe.

every time I saw Kahn ...all I could hear him saying was "rich Corinthian leather" so it just kinda diffused my interest.Maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me with the combination of Kristi, probes and rich Corinthian leather that was blocking my attention.

 

[Mister 4x4]

I kept hearing, "My dear guests - I am Mr. Roarke, your host. Welcome to Fantasy Island!" rofl

"Rich, Corinthian Leather." Isn't that code for "Vinyl?" :huh:

 

[Kit Sullivan]

Yes, Kirstie ( not Kristi) was smokin' hot in that movie, as she was in "Runaway" playing Gene Simmons' girlfriend.

Too bad she went to rehab, got off the coke and ballooned up...

 

[CZ-75]

I'm a huge Star Trek fan. The whale movie was corny, but in a Trekkie kinda way.

The most recent incarnation is very entertaining, and ties in a lot of stuff from the original series

 

[Luke]

Seen the resent 1 on a plane not long ago. Really liked it very entertaining as you say.

 

[cudak888]

"Rich, Corinthian Leather." Isn't that code for "Vinyl?" :huh:

"Leather, Herb Tarlek style."

Wow... What a great show!
