Sometimes money, drugs and good intentions come together in a funky way. It was fate....fate brought them all together so Uhura could do a sexy dance on a sand dune.

Ahh, how did I leave that scene out of the meme?!

Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing the mountain?

[–] georgette@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because Shatner directed the movie, and decided that was something Kirk would do

This unearthed that old memory, and I literally hadn't thought about it in years...

For the uninitiated

[–] porl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There it is! :D

Actually just had a thought. Have the events of this movie ever been referenced again? At least outside of the TOS movies? Only thing I can think of is SNW SPOILERS

spoilerSybock being name dropped in Strange New Worlds recently

It's crazy how they experience some of these wild, potentially life-changing discoveries, and then just file it away in a report to never be talked about again.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they file it at all. When the sensors record fuck all do you wanna file that thing about Abraham Lincoln floating in space? Really risking getting tossed into a medical facility on some Starbase somewhere.

But I swear! He came aboard, then apologized for referring to Uhura by an old timey-slur!

Lol, watched the movie 3 nights ago after talking with you about Sybok in the comment section of another thread some time before. ^^

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's definitely something isn't it? lol

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know it's not very popular, but I watched that movie many times back when I was a wee lass. Thus I still enjoy it every now and then.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I completely get it. It has it's moments of good and bad, like anything. Still Star Trek though and I dig it <3

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I also crave eating Marshmelons and singing at a campfire now.

It's so corny and indulgent (Kirk climbing El Capitan?), but I can't look away. It's a fun movie.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but at least we got Marshmelons from it.

[–] Naate@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

YES. I call them that to this day, and no one has ever called me on the reference.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Still better than the modern shows

The campfire scene keeps hitting harder and harder as the years go by.

[–] King_Bob_IV@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

I dunno. Lower decks is pretty amazing.
