Welp, I caved and bought
Star Trek: Generations on blu. What can I say? I just love the movie, probably my favorite of the franchise is terms of sheer fun, and it was just $10 on Amazon. I know it annoys a lot of people that Kirk and Picard meet over an egg-scrambling session, but I love it - it's just the right amount of whimsy and randomness, amid serious themes of dead families, traumatized refugees, and joy addiction. As JJ's movies proved,
Trek belongs on the small screen as episodes, and to me,
Generations captures that feeling best among the
TNG films. Also, Soran is a better villain than Khan. Yep, I said it.
In other news, I sure hope that Samberg's
Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping release this summer means a new printing of
Hot Rod, because Amazon's been clean out of average-priced new blus of that for months. Not that I have any pressing
need for it, but it's been removed from its longtime Netflix Streaming home also, and while I'd intended to buy a copy, I just never got around to it, and now I live with regret.
