Are there any more pictures of the 1701-J? The new books I got from amazon have several pictures of it in different positions. I was wondering if there are lots on the Main site? Been looking through but didn’t find it. Some assistance please. The Enterprise-J was only ever seen on screen as a grap...

Today, I watched The Day After Tomorrow . A very different kind of global emergency than the one we're facing now, but it's interesting to note the similarities in people's reactions. Like politicians disregarding warnings and advice from scientists until it's too late. :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangw...

Today, I watched The Terminal (2004). A Spielberg film starring Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski from the fictional nation of Krakozhia, which falls under a military coup while Viktor is in transit to the United States. His passport suddenly becomes invalid and he is unable to enter the US or return hom...

Today, I watched Shrek 2 . I hadn't watched this in years. It's still as funny as ever. Stuffed full of jokes and pop cultural references--some of which I'm able to appreciate a little more having seen the movies being referenced, like PInocchio's Mission: Impossible stunt. And yet, with all the com...

Well, this was 2004 when the Enterprise-J was designed.

Today, I watched Troy (2004). Not a big Brad Pitt fan, and I'm sure this film has a lot of departures from the source material-- The Iliad by Homer. For one thing, Achilles dies during the fall of Troy in the film whereas his death, at least in The Odyssey , was supposed to have taken place before t...

I'm a little embarrassed to say this...

I had the Daystrom Award for over 11 years, and I just now noticed.

The magazine I got with the model from Eaglemoss has some interesting details on the J. Universe-class 3,219 meters long According to Doug Drexler, the guy who designed it, the fragile-looking nacelles and pylons were intentional. It was supposed to look ludicrous from our 21st-century perspective. ...

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

Today, I watched George and the Dragon (2004). This is among my favorite dragon movies, albeit lesser known, about a knight returning from the crusades, hoping to settle down. In return for a plot of land and a couple heads of cattle, he joins the search for a king's daughter, whom he finds protecti...

I'm on lockdown...sort of. I can still go on critical errands if I need to or go for a walk outside if I want to. My days are pretty much the same as they were before--work on my book, watch the TV shows/movies I have scheduled, occasionally do chores around the house as needed.

Today, I watched Timeline (2003). Perhaps not the best of the movies adapted from Michael Crichton's books, but I still found it enjoyable. But then, I enjoy stories involving time travel. I understand Paramount interfered creatively, demanding cuts and re-cuts. I would be interested in seeing a dir...

If it is The Ghost, I have to wonder where that ship has been all this time.

I also notice that the Millennium Falcon once again has her old circular sensor dish--like the one Lando broke during the Battle of Endor.

I would be sitting/standing in rocky dirt in my backyard, between the wall of my house and a wooden fence. Actually, I would be closer to the wall. If it was 9 feet, I would be partly IN the wall.
