The Moon wakes up (cosmic horror/astrophobia animation) AKA Moon eats Earth

The Moon is pissed off.  The Moon has been abused a lot over the years in movies and shows.  Piccolo blows up the freaking moon.  It gets blown up in Cowboy Bebop and The Time Machine.  They cloned it in the 5th Element.  The Coneheads sideswipe it in the movie without leaving their insurance info.  Zod and gang leave dead bodies on it in Superman III.  Cobra Commander and Chairface Chippendale defacing the Moon.  

At this point, the Moon is pissed.  Anyway, the special effects are really good.  It is a creepy face with sharp teeth.  Look closely, the mouth is moving.  

If you are going to go out, this is the way to do it.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture Exclusive Deleted Scene | SciFiNow


There are at least four cuts of TMP out there.  My generation remembers the special, longer cut that was shown on ABC and VHS.  This cut has a lot of character moments that were not in the theatrical cut, but also many unfinished shots.  For a long time, that was the only cut we had of TMP.  However, the director's cut has some of the best parts of both cuts.  Even adding a few lost shots. 

One of the bigger deleted scenes not included in any cut was the famous security guard's death.  The scene happened during the probe's entry into the bridge.  The probe kills one of the two guards.  The reason this bit was cut was because it was a continuity issue at the end.  Kirk never mentions this dead guy in his casualty report.  I thought this scene was lost forever.  I guess I was wrong.  It took nearly 40 years to finally see it, though.

Now, only if we could get that deleted memory wall scene...

New Bryan Kohberger Selfie








Yes, this was the picture he had taken a few hours after the murders.  What regular guy would take a selfie in a bathroom and not share it with anyone?  It seems creepy. Plus, Bryan looks like a ghoul in the picture with his pale skin and skinny look.  He took the selfie as a personal trophy to say, “You did it.  Mission accomplished.”  

It has come out that Bryan visited the victims' homes not 12 times but 23 times.  I believe he zeroed in on two women and followed them around town.  The more I learn about Bryan, the more I hate him.  He is a selfish and dangerous man who entered a house to kill one person and ended up killing four.  He thought he was so clever and intelligent that he made this selfie for his own personal collection. 

The walls of justice are closing in, Bryan.  I don’t think you’re going to get away with this one. 


The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie) - Liam Neeson, Pame...



Okay, movie, you got me with the OJ moment.  Will it be in the movie?  Probably not.  While I don’t think they should do a Naked Gun remake/sequel/reboot, they are doing some of the right things by not trying to make it a one-to-one remake.  

I’ll wait and see.  By the way, the trailer is getting a good response online, with 90K thumbs-ups.
