So instead of starting my homework this evening and getting a jump on the massive pile of reading that is staring me in the face as the weekend approaches, I decided a better use of my time would be to watch
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan on the trial run of the
Cinemax:
Thriller Max channel Charter Communications has so graciously allowed my roommates and I to watch free for the past 2 weeks. As I may divulge further in future blog posts, I am a horribly judgmental person. I suppose the whole purpose of writing this post, other than avoiding the superlative of "Most Inactive" on Tim's list and continuing to avoid opening
The Emergence of Southeast Asia, is to let you know that you should never see this movie. Outside of being able to witness William Shatner literally shake with fury while screaming "KHANNN!" there is no redeeming aspect of this movie. They even go so far as to kill Spock in the end and fire him out into the final frontier in a giant suppository. What in the name of William Shatner's increasingly desperate career (Priceline commercials anyone?) were they thinking? That's like when they tried to kill off Alfred in the debacle that is
Batman and Robin (another recent distraction from my academic success courtesy of Charter Communications).
This movie was so deliciously '80s, I can't hardly stand it. However, should it, or something even worse (I see
Secondhand Lions is currently on TBS...) ever provide me a convenient excuse to not study, well beam my sorry, procrastinating self up, Scotty.
