The hot weather we’ve had in North Ameirca the last couple of weeks has also contributed to Pirates record numbers as well.
“Has Been” by William Shatner is a great album. He didn’t treat it as a joke or a goof. Shatner wrote a few of the songs and is very sincere. It was produced by Ben Folds who also does a few guest vocals. Joe Jackson and Amiee Mann are also on this cd.
#1 – Yes, Doug is right. The William Shatner disc is wicked. It was one of the best records I bought last year.
#2 – The only explanation I can think of for Little Man doing so well is that it was FUCKING hot all across america. It was 106(F) degrees in North Dakota for god sakes. Here, in Minneapolis it got over 100 too. Think what Arizona must’ve been like! People wanted an air conditioned theater and that’s that. Well, plus there are a lot of stupid people out there.

If you mention Clerks 2 do try and let us know of any UK or global release.
Lol,
what I ment to say was, “why havn’t you been pubing the Podcast Awards?”
I’d still like an answer to that. I want this Podcast to win again.
My keyboard sux, it’s a cheap keyboard with lights behind the keys.
white chicks may have been stupid but i just saw little man and it is very funny a lot better than white chicks so your generation isnt stupid josh
Chekov! His name was Chekov. Thank God I remembered, that would’ve bugged me all day.
On a related note, I don’t get this idea that Shatner is a has been. Hasn’t he worked pretty consistently since the series ended?
I never could stand Star Trek, but I love Shatner as a comic actor. He was HILARIOUS in ‘Third Rock From The Sun’. Also, I have a song he did with Henry Rollins called ‘I Can’t Get Behind That’, and it’s amazing. Only a true genius would put Hank and The Shat together on record.
Another great podcast. Thanks again.
– Mr T is cool and everything, but could he take Beppo the Supermonkey? I don’t think so. With the power of the Earth’s yellow sun, he’ll fling that poo right through your goddamn head!
– Does that Star Trek story remind anyone else of the Futurama episode where the original cast are kidnapped by an alien fan and forced re-enact the alien’s favourite Trek stories (and the Russian guy – I forget his name – has to keep saying ‘wessel’). Funny stuff. God, Futurama was great. And, God, it must suck to be associated with Star Trek.
– To ‘The Black Guy’: Please help! What does it mean to be ‘beep pubing’ things? I like to keep up with all the new pirate lingo, and us guys with ‘Black’ in our names need to stick together. Thanks!
New Voyages are a series of popular ‘fan films’:
[according to Wikipedia]
“Star Trek: New Voyages (formerly known as simply New Voyages) is a fan-created science fiction series set in the Star Trek universe. The series, released exclusively via the Internet, is designed as a continuation of the original Star Trek, beginning in the fourth year of the Starship Enterprise’s “five year mission”. The first episode of the series was released in January of 2004.
Early installments of the series were co-produced by Jack Marshall, Pearl Marshall (Jack’s wife), James Cawley and Max Rem. As of 2006, three one-hour episodes have been produced with two more episodes currently in pre-production. The first three episodes were directed by Marshall. However, it was announced on December 29, 2005 that Marshall would step down as primary director on the series. Unlike a traditional television series, episodes are being produced at a rate of only one per year.
Paramount Pictures, which owns the legal rights to the Star Trek franchise, has traditionally allowed the distribution of fan-created material as long as no attempt is made to profit from it without official authorization, and New Voyages enjoys the same toleration. It stars James Cawley as Captain Kirk, Jeffery Quinn as Mr. Spock, Charles Root as Scotty, and John Kelley as Dr. McCoy”
Despite the depature of Jack Marshall, the series continues. Several Trek support has been given: William Windom played Commodore Matt Decker, the same character he played in the 1967 original series episode “The Doomsday Machine”; Grace Lee Whitney,, DS9 writers Jack Trevino and Ethan Calk, DC Fontana, writer David Gerrold (Trouble With Tribbles)., Marc Scott Zicree – wrote a few TNG eps, directed one of the ‘fan films;.
The series also goes by “Shatnerverse” – reffering to a Generations loophole where the ‘echo’ of James Kirk resides. The”real Kirk” went back after the events that happened to Enterprise B.
According to the ST:NV site:
“The idea for creating a new series based on the original Star Trek first originated in 1997 with James Cawley. James worked with original series and Next Generation costume designer, William Ware Theiss. Over the years James has amassed a huge collection of set pieces, props and costumes with one goal in mind: reclaiming the spirit of Trek.”
*The episodes are free downloads in Windows media; they can be burned to DVDs.
Campea, I have listened to the show yet but why havn’t you beep pubing the Podcast Awards? You won last year,let’s repeat!
Great Audio edition guys. The WTC trailer unfortunately looks really crap.
I loved hearing u guys talk about video games, you guys covered my two biggest hobbies, you guys rock!!!
Dudes.
No, go, and Nolte sounds a lot better than no, go, and misprononounced Routh. =)
I dunno why anyone should contain supermans fight to planet earth…I fantisize superman and zod first starting out trwoing cars, then mining trucks, then some skirize crane, then a highrize building, then move to space (preferably not our solar system) and zod grabs an asteroid and flings it to superman and superman just leans into it like the guy in Fantastic four and the transport truck, then like superman is grabs a planet (shaped with rings like saturn) and friging whales it at zod, zod tries to stop it and he kinda skids through space. It kinda reminds me of “what hapens when an immovable object is hit by a non-stopable object”. I haven’t figured out how the fight would end, but a beatiful planet like satern (with the rings) being flung and crashing with supper effects would be cool imo.
Great show, guys.
– You’re absolutely right about Titanic nailing it’s target audience. The best other example of that is Jurassic Park. Kids went fucking bonkers for that movie. I was one of them! And of course they dragged the parents along too which helped.
– I’m a big big fan of Oliver Stone but the trailer for World Trade Center doesn’t sell me on the movie at all. I loved United 93 and I’m not against the idea of these films but WTC looks like Pearl Harbour 2. I hope I’m wrong but the inclusion of Nicolas Cage, possibly the biggest cheeseball in Hollywood working today, just makes me sleepy.
– DAMN RIGHT SUPERMAN RETURNS OPENED HERE!!! WOO!!! I damn near pissed my pants when I saw that they’d kept the amazing opening credit sequence!
– I hate the Wayans brothers with a passion. Darren’s right, people are idiots.
Sometimes I look at films like ‘little Man’ and ‘White Chicks’ and I can completely see why my generation is so stupid.
Cawley plays Kirk on the New Voyages. Koenig is doing a separate episode with Cawley as well, written by TOS writer D.C. Fontana.
EDITORS NOTE:
I just realized I said the 9/11 hero was played by “MICHAEL DORFF”. That was an error.
The actor’s name is actually “STEPHEN DORFF”
Sorry for any confussion.
