Just a quick post regarding Star Trek, which is 40 years old today!!! Yep, on the 8th September 1966, history was made, and Star Trek beamed onto American television screens for the first time. Now, 40 years later, even with the cancellation of the latest spin-off series "Enterprise" in 2005, the show is still as popular as ever with an 11th movie planned for 2007 (current rumour is that the director of the Tom Cruise blockbuster Mission Impossible III will be taking the helm, directing the movie) AND not only that, but recently CBS/Paramount TV have announced that all 79 episodes of the original series will be re-mastered with brand new state-of-the-art CGI visual effects and new soundtracks!!! WOW!!! Thats enough to make even Mr Spock wet himself!!Anyway, Happy Birthday Star Trek, and heres to the next 40 years!
Live long and prosper!
Pffft remastered. They might as well say "We're strapped for cash, so will run the tapes through a computer to make it look prettier and resell them for ten times the original price because the Trekkies will buy it."
ReplyDeleteCa-ching indeed! hehe
LOL!! I don't think they are strapped for cash, not with the amount of money Star Trek has made over the last 40 years. I think they've gone back to the original series because no matter what, the original series is, and always will be the best of the lot! But yes, of course the Trekkies will buy them - I'll buy them, and that way I'll have the original VHS videos, the digitally remastered box-sets (currently showing on the Sci-Fi channel) AND the new digitally remastered version with the new special effects!!
ReplyDeleteAm I sad.... maybe!!! Do I care??? NO WAY!!!!!!!

One of these days, there's going to be a massive electronic pulse in your house, and all your digital/tape media will be wiped.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will laugh. hehe

ReplyDeleteIf that happened, my life would not be worth living! All those years of collecting... gone to waste.... NEVER!
