אהבה - Amour (à Hebrew Calligraphy)
what she says: im fine
what she means: the beastie boys band canonically exists in the star trek reboot universe and jim kirk canonically enjoys the song “sabotage” (if nothing else from their discography). however, theres a conflict here since the song “intergalactic” (by the same band) references star trek and more specifically spock not once, but twice, with the lyrics “like a pinch on the neck of mr spock” and “super educated im smarter than spock”. if the beastie boys exist in the rebootverse, does “intergalactic” exist also? and if so, are the aforementioned lyrics simply omitted or transformed into a seperate in-universe scifi reference to maintain the song’s theme?
concept: amanda grayson is also a classical music fan and named her only son after a fictional vulcan from an earth song
Someone fucking get the Relativity in here to straighten this mess out.
This is Sarah Robles. She won a Bronze medal in Rio yesterday, first US weightlifting medal in 16 years.
“I still have bad thoughts about myself, but I’ve learned that you have to love yourself the way you are,” Robles says. “I may look like this, but I’m in the Olympics because of the way I am.”
i needed this article today. thank you.
I don’t think I’ve talked about this before: I love that AOS Spock is fast. He’s so fucking speedy. In TOS, Nimoy’s Spock doesn’t run unless he has to; he’s awkward and gangly and whenever he does try to get anywhere fast it looks like he hasn’t had much practice at it. He has no form; he runs like he isn’t comfortable in his own body and he stops–awkwardly, with lots of arm-flapping–the second it’s safe to do so.
But Quinto’s Spock sprints EVERYWHERE like he’s anchoring a relay. Between decks, through San Fransisco, across the bridge, he doesn’t care, why should being composed mean he has to be slow. In Beyond he gets stabbed almost in the heart by a piece of rusty metal and Bones is still having to scramble after him, yelling at him to slow down.
I like this partly because it means AOS Spock is more secure in his body and party because Spock is generally a very deferential person and it’s fun to see this one area where even people who outrank him can be gasping at him to slow down and he’s sprinting away like OR YOU COULD KEEP UP MOTHAFUCKAS
I’ve always thought that the one physical advantage Quinto had over Nimoy is that Quinto can run and Nimoy just couldn’t! Bless him.
It’s true.
Quinto had training for the scenes in which Spock runs. Here’s a bit of the transcript from when he was on Conan:
ZACHARY QUINTO: I had to sprint a lot.
So there was a lot of sprint training as well which seems that it would be easy but it’s actually not.
CONAN: What I’ve always heard is true is when you think you’re running cool – like you’re cool running in real life, when they shoot it and show it back to you, it looks horrible.
ZACHARY QUINTO: I was like I got this.
Maybe we should tape you and show you how you actually look.
Which they did and I was like, I don’t – I don’t got this.
Indeed, gentlemen. May I point out that I had an opportunity to observe your counterparts here quite closely.
