"Onion News Network" Weighs In on "Star Trek" Movie!

We're Keeping a Bit Mum on the New "Star Trek" Movie --

-- until more of us have seen it! Our correspondent Jane is probably seeing it almost as I'm typing this, and I went to it last night. Can't wait to share our thoughts with you!

I'm hoping for some amazing box office numbers! Please, let it beat Wolverine!

Fascinating "Star Trek" Content at Addicting Games.com!

If you've got a few minutes to spare and want to test your reflexes, short term memory, basic math skills and several other abilities, click on over to the Addicting Games website where you can play the new Star Trek Academy Trainer!

Lots of different phases and it's pretty fun -- and not as easy as you might hope!

Let's Just Put Up All the New Scenes from "Trek"!

Here's Chris Pine as Kirk and Karl Urban as McCoy meeting for the first time!



And here Kirk meets up with Uhura, played by the lovely Zoe Saldana --



It's good seeing sexy vibes coming from the movie -- I get where some folks might be thinking this is too "90210" for Trek, but I think it's wonderful! From what I've seen I like Pine as Kirk, and Urban looks like a great McCoy, and same for Quinto as Spock, who certainly has the perfect look and we'll see if he captures the mystique (something that maybe only matters to us old time fans -- he can create his own mystique, of course).

Can't wait for this!

Spock-Kirk Confrontation from the new "Star Trek"!

Looking good!

Early Reviews of "Star Trek" Coming In!

Sure, the world premiere may have taken place in Sydney, Australia yesterday, but fans in Austin, Texas also scored an unexpected and wonderful preview of the new Star Trek movie last night, too. Courtesy of the web-famous Ain't It Cool News folks, Leonard Nimoy, the writers and producer Damon Linehof showed up to sneak the movie for a select audience. There are several terrific accounts of the evening alredy posted, one here by Neil Miller who is a self-professed Trek fan, another here by Cole Abaius who isn't. Harry of AICN has a rave review here, and Quint of AICN gives his two cents here. Here's another aggregation of reviews posted at /Film by Peter Sciretta.

After reading these, I don't think our enthusiasm and excitement for the new movie is misplaced!

New Final "Star Trek" Movie Poster Revealed!

Looks maybe a little too much like a toy to me, and if the Enterprise were flying forward wouldn't the streaks/streams be towards the back?

But heck, it's the new Star Trek movie, and we love it!

Star Date: 2009.05.08: First Flaming Nose Officer's Log

It's official. The Flaming Nose founders have caught Star Trek fever and want to share that feeling with our readers and fellow fans. While the upcoming movie (set to release May 8th, 2009) is not technically a television topic, it definitely qualifies for the Nose. Without the original TV series, and the obsessive devotion of its multi-generational minions, it would not be possible to launch a movie of this scale. Paramount has always believed in the franchise. After countless TV spinoffs, movie sequels, conventions and documentaries...we eagerly await the latest incarnation. This movie prequel follows the early years of Trekkie icons Kirk and Spock, and is already one of the most highly anticipated Star Trek properties for the big screen. We can expect the best ever special effects and edge of the seat action, thanks to director J.J. Abrams who is hotter than Alpha Centauri. Also, we think we saw a flash of the young Kirk's butt in one of the many trailers circulating out there. Feel free to discuss and speculate endlessly.

I've checked out the official Star Trek movie site which is accessible from about 5 different locations now on The Flaming Nose. It is definitely worth a visit. Great music, pix, video and skins to download, but I could not find a count down widget. We are on a mission to boldly go and find one to post soon. Paramount geeks, if you are miraculously reading this, can you provide?

Over the next few weeks we will wax poetic and passionately about the immense and pulsating sociological event that is Star Trek.The actual brand STAR TREK is so powerful, it would definitely be able to survive a hostile encounter with an alien life-form on another planet. This is why most real-life NASA astronauts say that Star Trek was their inspiration for becoming pioneers on the Final Frontier. We agree 100% with that gung ho thumbs up, but are also so confident in our unconditional love for Star Trek, that we can allow UGC spoofs like the stop action gem below. Behold...a Star Trek Spock doll sings..."My Prerogative"! Live long and prosper, everybody!

The Flaming Nose Salutes "Star Trek"

It's official -- The Flaming Nose is going all out in anticipation of the release of the new Star Trek movie this May!

The Star Trek TOS (TOS = The Original Series) collectively and delightfully haunts our memories, and it looks as though the new movie will be incredible. Watch for our exclusive Star Trek tributes here over the next few weeks leading up to the premiere!

Be here for all the best in Trek, and be sure to visit Paramount's Official Star Trek Movie Site for the latest news and goodies!

Just One More Adorable Thing About Vulcan...

From a later version of the Vulcan, Alberta/Star Trek movie story, comes this new bit, and this great photo from the CBC of Deputy Mayor Rick Howard giving the Vulcan salute:

"(Deputy Mayor) Howard also offered to let Nimoy stay on his pull-out couch if the actor ever visits the town.

In a statement issued Friday, Nimoy said: "I have been informed of the logical plan that Paramount Pictures and the town of Vulcan have been working on to host an advanced screening of Star Trek. The people of Vulcan have been heard and, although it is atypical for Vulcans, they are, in fact, excited. To all, live long and prosper.”

Isn't that just the sweetest thing? Thank goodness Paramount is playing it right by being nice to the fans!

New "Star Trek" Movie Trailer!

We would be betraying our natures if The Flaming Nose didn't post this brand-spanking new trailer for the upcoming J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie -- we're huge fans of everything Star Trek and can't wait for it!



Wow! Boy, do we hope it's great! Though we all grew on up Star Trek: The Original Series and every other one since then, we're always up for a new adventure with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise!

For more on the movie also worth reading, though only if taken with a huge grain of salt, is Entertainment Weekly's recent article on the new movie. They tried a little too hard to hammer the nail into the Star Trek franchise coffin, with descriptions like "retro sci-fi cheese" and "near-irrelevant cultural joke" and "defunct old property" strewn throughout the article. All right, already...so a series spawned forty years ago needed a juice-up, duh! When you consider the total number of hours of programming which emerged from Roddenberry's vision, Trek is the most vital science fiction property ever. Why didn't EW just go ahead and kick Shakespeare in the nuts while they were pummelling Star Trek -- he's a little dusty, too!


But I digress! We're here to love on the new Star Trek trailer. It's beautiful! We can't wait until May 2009!
