That was good...don't know if it was true or not, but recall reading awhile back that there is no such thing as "Corinthian Leather", that is was a made-up marketing term for a leather substitute.

And in The Wrath of Kahn, that wasn't Ricardo's ripped chest/6-pack either but a prosthetic. Maybe it was made out of Corinthian Leather...LOL

"Corinthian Leather" is what the Star Fleet "replicator" spit out when a bored researcher repunched some of the data cards for Naugas and Tribbles and inserted them into the input slot of the device.

Larry, sorry, but it not a prosthetic. It *really was* Montalban's chest in Wrath of Khan. He worked out extensively prior to filming. Director Nicholas Meyer discusses it on the Director's Commentary as well.

I like the spinoff using an alternate reality in which JJ Abrams films are going. Looks cool to me. I watched the trailer without sound so maybe that's why I'm not seeing the correlation between Prometheus and Batman but whatever works ;-)

So . . . Submitted for your consideration . . . In the zone between sunset and darkness . . . Imagine, if you will, that it had been Quentin Tarrantino rather than Gene Roddenberry (or those other dudes) on The Alternate Reality Front (where it was far from being "Quiet" if even in the West) . . .

Omigosh, I've never seen that Hitler/Khan mashup. That's funny stuff!!!

Khan was a great movie.

[RadicalModerate]

Yes. It was. But old. =)

LOL Yeah, always loved that "whoosh" that we all (or at least most of us) knew was totally a fiction

I remember standing in line with a buddy of mine back on a Saturday morning in June '82 at the Almonte Cinema 6 on SW 59th and May (back when that was a decent neighborhood mall and a pleasant neighborhood in general) to see Trek 2, and the line went from the theater door all the way down to the corner turned back south. It was *great*. Lost count of how many times I saw it. Loved the scene where the Enterprise "sneaks up" on the Reliant for its fateful fight. While I've never been a big James Horner fan, his music was great in that Mutara Nebula scene.

For its time, the Almonte was a *darned* nice theater; comfy seats, good views, the works, it just overcome by time and stadiums, I guess. Read here on a long-dead thread that the interiors of the place are largely untouched from the day it closed, just thoroughly trashed and torn up from vandals, rats, thieves, water damage from leaky roof, all that. Kind of a shame.

Then my source must have been misinformed (probably a Ferengi working for the Starfleet Inquirer). The way it was designed (necklace, vest etc), it could have easily been fake, but since it wasn't, very impressive since he was in his early 60s during filming. Thank you for the correction

Between this and the return of The Lone Ranger (with, of course, Politically Correct apologies for featuring a non-native "indian" as Tonto eg. Johnny Depp) can you begin to imagine what The ReCyclers could do with Sky King??? =)

"Out of the blue of the western sky . . . comes Sky King . . . (in his Piper Cub) . . . assisted by his faithful niece, Penny (as portrayed by Johnny Depp) . . . flying off into the easern sky for truth, justice, and the American way . . ."

"That would be AWEsome . . . Why didn't I think of that?"

[Mel]

Shy King. That made me smile. Used to have a big crush on Penny. Maybe they could have them flying ground support in a couple of A-10's.

The Khan Static blocked the intro to the show . . . but this got through . . .
(btw: it was paraquat on the plant. california used to be a lot more strict about stuff)
