What a coincidence that two of TOS' worst episodes, Omega Glory and Turnabout Intruder, were both written by Roddenberry.

Ah yes, the "Starfleet won't let me captain a starship because I don't have a penis, so I'm going to steal Jim Kirk's, oh no my womanliness has made me go insane inside Kirk's body" episode and the "You know what Outer Space needs to set it straight? The US motherfucking Constitution!" episode. I'm starting to see more and more why the first season of Picard was such a mess given how Michael Chabon once wrote a loving essay trying to legitimately analyze what The Omega Glory was trying to say.

I could be getting this wrong, but I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Turnabout Intruder's story was written in the wake of a nasty divorce, which might (partially) explain the "bitches be crazy" plot

Man, nothing represents Discovery better than our main characters standing around having a prolonged conversation about how every second counts full of pregnant pauses and overwrought speeches. The space hero slow walk suited up down the hallway was a nice touch when EVERY SECOND COUNTS when everyone has personal site to site transporters. But at least they used them to transport the 10 feet on to the floating shuttle. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Mar 19, 2022 |

I refuse to refer to the Kirk is an Indian episode as Kirk is a Native American because I feel like it is more offensive to call whatever was going on a depiction of Native Americans.

I saw the Playmobil Enterprise in person. drat, that thing’s impressively huge, and very good looking. The engine lights are very nice, and it’s all so smooth. If they ever do anything TNG era, I’m there day one.

Star Trek: TMP: Director’s Cut hits Paramount+ exclusively on 4/5 with Dolby Vision and Atmos (assuming you have the correct plan for it). No word yet on a physical release. This poses a problem for me because while I’m subscribed to Paramount+, it’s with the T-Mobile promo that only grants the base level tier and that level doesn’t have 4k, HDR, or Atmos. I can’t pay the difference to upgrade and if I take off the promo, I lose it. Maybe I’ll use a throwaway email address and signup with a promo after it comes out to have a chance to watch it in fully quality until they actually release it on disc.

It's going to be interesting to compare this to the 4k release with the box set. On the surface, it's easy to think "Just some edits and then some new CG shots thrown in." but that's not really the case. The 4k release with the box set was a full on remastering, but it only went as far as going back to a completed edited negative. The 4k director's cut release goes a step further in that the original SFX shots are recomposited (much like they had to do with TNG). So, on the Theatrical 4k release when you see the Enterprise in space dock with the earth behind it, it's a 2nd (or more) generation optical composite with 1970s matte lines. For the directors cut, it's composited with modern techniques which should not only make the matte more seamless, it should improve the optical clarity too.

bull3964 posted:It's going to be interesting to compare this to the 4k release with the box set. There were comparison shots posted a week or two ago that showed just that, the matting is much cleaner and since all the individual elements were scanned for recomposition the matte paintings and background elements all look incredible.

I don't know that they were able to recompose every single shot, I think they found some of the matte shots but not all and some are just from the final master scan? But even the others can be cleaned up dramatically in computer, I'm sure.

Now if only they’d cut it by like an hour to get it somewhere approaching watchable.

The Directors Cut cut runs something like 15 minutes shorter than theatrical, but I think it's closer to 20-25 minutes cut because some of the time is taken back by restoring a couple of deleted scenes

Long, slow movies are really not my thing, though. Like, I'd rather watch nothing but Ed Wood and Roger Corman films than sit through 2001, Ran or Solaris again.
