Looking back on [movie] on its [X]th Anniversary

I did for a while (starting with Episode I in May 1999) and had a little scrapbook even, but stopped doing so around (checks pictures of ticket scrapbook) July 2004. Electronic ticketing kinda made it pointless after a point, though I’m sure I got and discarded other printed tickets after 2004.

Brian Robbins (Eric, the leather-jacketed rebel) became a producer later on. I remember him scouting my old high school for a TV project he was working on that was supposed to be “Bruce Wayne’s life as a high school student before he became Batman.” That didn’t work out (rights issues, I suppose), but he did wind up doing a similar show: one about Clark Kent’s high school years before he became Superman (they of course couldn’t use my old school anymore). You may know it from when it ran for a while on the WB/CW Network.

Young kid me has a crush on Janice back then. Tannis Vallely, who played her, went on to work in the casting aspect of the industry and actually appeared in a photo of herself in an episode of “Arrested Development,” which she worked on.

This movie was partially shot in my high school, John Marshall in Los Angeles (also Nightmare on Elm Street and other films).

I recognize that some have their flaws, but generally, yes. I like that storylines can be drawn out through multiple episodes and balanced with single-episode stories. Being less episodic is not a source of newer Trek’s problems.

I guess that’s the buttplug trophy back there covered in red.

My gripe with “Year of Hell” is my general gripe with the series, even though one may chalk it up to it being a product of the times.

The “Year of Hell” should have taken about 26 episodes, not two.

Quantum Leap’s time loop episode put an interesting new quirk in the premise. It also brought in Robert Picardo (from Star Trek: Voyager and Stargate: Atlantis) playing a character named Woolsey, which was also the name of his Stargate character.

One of her music videos, “Go Go Dancer,” was partly shot at my old high school.

Ah, there was scraping off involved. Hence the “THAIIK YOU” at the end.

I’ve always got a “to be watched” stack yay high (literally in the past, figuratively these days). Doesn’t bother me too much, I figure a lot of bookworms and gamers have their “stacks” too.

Haven’t seen it, but I gather that this happened with Netflix’s “Altered Carbon.”

I remember Clyde Phillips doing the ‘90s sitcom “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose.” I wouldn’t have predicted that he would be the guy who would give us “Dexter.”

Yeah, my first reaction was “Why is his job title ‘Architect of the Capitol’? Wasn’t that job done over 200 years ago?”

Pan right, pan right…

You might enjoy watching The Menu.

I thought it was very good. At first I was thrown off by a crew that was practically all non-Starfleet (except some of their races, for some reason), but it all came together. Seeing Admiral Janeway turn from well-intentioned antagonist to downright one of the good guys was a treat. Interesting that they can now cross the galaxy in a matter of days now rather than decades.

Anyway, I hope they get a second season, but regardless, I feel we’ve gotten a solid ten hours of Star Trek. And one really cool opening theme.

Except for the part where there are no railings. A full-scale version of this would be a death trap.

The mechanic guy? I remember him joining the final season, where they had been captured and were conditionally going to be exonerated in exchange for doing some missions for the government.

Violated by DC Comics? In what way? Like Ray Fisher?

>Instead you hold up your phone screen and to get a similar albeit lamer effect.

I’ve also seen it done with a phone’s “flashlight” feature.

What’s the difference between a smartphone and a Zippo? A smartphone weighs about seven ounces, a Zippo is a little lighter.

In Korea, the record companies figured out how to make some extra money out of this: instead of lighters or phones, many K-Pop artists and groups have an “official lightstick” with a special design, to be bought by fans as a way to identify themselves as fans of the act. While some have simple features like flashing and changing color with a button press, others actually connect via Bluetooth to one’s smartphone, not only allowing the user to control their lightstick with an app, but in some situations, allowing the lighting technician to control the lightstick, letting them make light patterns in the audience during the concert. The sticks sell for around $30 in Korea, which with shipping and overhead translates more to $50-$70 in the US.

In the case of Starfleet starships in “Star Trek,” for example, the ships are self-illuminated (there are lights outside the hull that project light unto the hull), which is why they’re visible in deep space (for TV reasons, of course).
