“Starfleet was never a box checking exercise.” Tell that to Gene Roddenberry who went out of his way to make sure a Black woman, a Japanese-American man, a Russian, a disabled man and former enemies like the Klingons were on his bridges.

@jessiegender No it was never woke. It was first and foremost Starfleet was a meritocracy. It was never a box checking exercise. Cisco, for example, not even written for a black actor. They just picked the best actor that auditioned. Hence it was actually good.

You’re confusing Trek with Starship Troopers. Trek isn’t about efficiency or discipline, but a future where we enable people to pursue their best selves. The pseudo-military aspect of Trek is what Roddenberry was most uncomfortable with. It why he disliked Nicholas Meyers take.

@jessiegender Star Trek was always about mostly normal people being forged by discipline into an excellent team.

@indifferentnick Yeah, I kinda check out when they start killing the babies. The fox hunt and monastery set pieces are top notch...as is Goldsmith's score. I've always found it pretty badass that it takes the LITERAL Second Coming of Christ to fully kill Damien. 😆

🩸Martin🩸 (1977) George A. Romero's Martin, is widely celebrated as a foundational masterpiece of modern psychological horror and often cited as the director's personal favorite work. It masterfully deconstructs classic vampire mythology through the lens of a young man who believes himself to be a vampire, yet possesses no supernatural abilities, relying instead on sedatives and razors. Following a series of commercial struggles after Night of the Living Dead, Romero, with limited funds originally earmarked for a zombie sequel, instead chose to create Martin. This more personal and grounded "coming-of-age" story was shot in 1976 on a modest budget. The entirety of the film was shot on location in Braddock, Pennsylvania, utilizing the city's industrial decay as a stark backdrop for the protagonist's profound isolation. Martin also marked the first collaboration between Romero and the legendary special effects artist Tom Savini, who not only designed the film's practical effects but also played the supporting role of Arthur. Initially, Romero envisioned the entire film in black-and-white. However, a compromise with producers resulted in the present-day scenes being filmed in color, while Martin's stylized "fantasy" flashbacks retained a monochromatic aesthetic. Despite its critical acclaim today, Martin had a limited U.S. theatrical release, premiering on May 10, 1978, in Washington, D.C. It was not a significant box office success. For European markets, the film was re-edited by Dario Argento, released as Wampyr, and featured a different musical score by the band Goblin. For decades, Martin remained a beloved staple of boutique labels like Anchor Bay Entertainment and Lionsgate on DVD. More recently, Second Sight Films released a highly anticipated 4K Ultra HD restoration in 2023. Further exciting fans, a 16mm black-and-white "director's cut," approximately 3.5 hours long and previously considered lost, was reportedly discovered in 2021, sparking hopes for a future release of Romero's original vision. Once largely overlooked, Martin is now widely lauded by critics and filmmakers as one of the greatest horror films of all time, even ranking at number 87 in a major Time Out genre poll. Its unique exploration of alienation and mental illness has served as inspiration across various media, including a 10-minute song by the synth-pop band Soft Cell. True to Romero's style, the film functions as a potent critique of social fragmentation and the erosion of traditional myths within a cynical, modern urban environment.

After finally watching #Transformers The Movie. I understand why kids were upset after seeing it. It's the freaking Red Wedding for 10 yr olds. After the first 30 minutes you didn't want to see your favorite character on screen for fear they would die next. Good lord.
