FOLLOWUP: VULCAN MATTE PAINTING

 My buddy GLAZY emailed me this morning regarding my earlier post about the 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' matte painting of Vuclan:

"Hey buddy, I checked my Star Trek:The Motion Picture DVD earlier and this is the shot they used to replace that superb matte you posted, the camera tracks down and we see Spock near the bottom of the frame there praying !! Bit naff really compared to the original one, but I suppose more in keeping with the rest of the scene and it’s location!!!!"   --Glazy.

 new matte painting for dvd:

 original matte painting:

I understand their reasoning for changing it, but they lost something in doing so. I still want the original version as a mural in my house.

Thanks, Glazy!

NERD TEXTS

So last night around 11pm I get a text from my buddy Maker....

 

We get sucked into 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' because it's fucking awesome and then proceed to text back & forth throughout the movie. 

Yes, hardcore nerding out was had!

Sorry, but those many many nerd texts will never be posted online.

EVER.

But alas, I had to throw in the towel around midnight lest I be a zombie at work the next day. I sign off.

Then this morning I find MORE texts from Maker sent throughout the night....

the 'Wrath of Khan' texts were pretty awesome, but I've been requested not to share those, too......Okay, here's a taste:

His final text is below...

please note the time it was sent.

 

4am! Dude pretty much did an all-nighter!

And for that....

I have been and always shall be his friend.
