Oh, and the nose punch *just* happened.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"The Galileo Seven."
LOVE! Especially for the interactions between Spock and McCoy. I also loved how Scotty basically just stayed out of shit and got things done, until his comment about the flare near the end.

Love.This.Movie!!! I saw it in the theater during its first run, and I have no idea why it didn't become a big hit, since it was pre-Hughes and still managed to cover all the Chicago teenager angst that he did a few years later.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No Molly Ringwald? Nah, it was probably too dark and serious to be a big Hughes hit?
I loved My Bodyguard too, but I haven't seen it since it came out.

There must have been something in the water when they made that movie, because Matt Dillon is aging pretty much just as well as Adam Baldwin.
ETA Holy crap! I didn't realize Joan Cusack was in that movie too.
Chris Makepeace's career ended up going nowhere, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, DH's report on 9 is that it would have been better as a silent movie, but that the visuals and worldbuilding more than make up for the hokey dialogue.

And both George Wendt and Tim Kazurinsky are, too (only a line or two each, but they're there!).

So, Re: Trek....
Remember the redshirt that Kirk called "Cupcake"? What do you suppose happened to him? Would Kirk, upon becoming captain, have him transferred somewhere else? Or would Kirk think, "Hey, he's a redshirt - how long can he survive on my ship?" - thus beginning the fine tradition of redshirt mortality....

I think it'd be awesome to write some fanfic where Cupcake is the main character - we learn all sorts of things about him, like he has some obscure intellectual hobby that eventually allows him to discover some bizarre plot to destroy the federation by some unknown aliens. Cupcake is about to expose the plot, saving billions of lives, when Kirk sends him on a landing party where he trips on a rock that explodes and kills him....
eta: Or Ensign Tino says to Cupcake, "I dare you to kick that rock there. What are the odds of it exploding?"

I'd so laugh my ass off if there was an Ensign Tino in the next movie.
