Star Trek: Discovery – Brother (Ep. 1, S2)

Sun ,20/01/2019

Finally, it’s restarted. After the craziness of last year which saw Captain ‘Malfoy’ (Lorca) disintegrated into a Klingon ‘battlestar’ and Capt. Georgiou (sp?) come back in ‘evil’ format – what craziness awaits this season?

So far, so good. While they re-introduce (indirectly) Mr Spock, and (directly) Capt. Pike – it works for me so far. Because Burnham is still the backbone of the show, as she should be. But they finally give others (besides Burnham and Saru) on the bridge >actual things to do, and dialog – keep it up!

I also thought Capt. Pike looked familiar in a small way – and courtesy of IMDB …he was Black Bolt in the short-lived Inhumans series from a year or two ago – got it.

eagerly awaiting Ep. 2……

The Face of Winter: Warren Miller – RIP.

Tue ,20/11/2018

So one of the true pioneers and icons of the ski industry, Warren Miller, passed away this past January at 93(!) years old. We went to see the latest film from his company (he hadn’t been filming with them for many years now), The Face of Winter. I’ve been to WM movies off an on over the years but not for some time, but this year wanted to go again in tribute to the man and his amazing career.

The movie was pretty good – while there were a couple tiny #MeToo moments in it (IMHO) and a few too many ‘fake sly’ product placements, it was still good – the usual mix of heli-skiing crazy extreme glaciers and remote mountains (this time mostly in AK, Chile, Iceland, France and Switzerland), with classic clips and WM testimonials throughout. I did not realize he was making movies as far back as the 50’s – crazy stuff.

anyway, here’s the trailer, it’s still touring around the country if you get the chance to see it:
