KEVIN'S WALK BLOGS
BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

Thank you, Bwana. It was an exciting time to be 14 and have the free time to see at least one movie every week.
Of the five films (Poltergeist, E.T., The Thing, Blade Runner, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), your favorite? My guess is that you vote for Khan because of your penchant for Ricardo Montalban's greased nipples.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
GREASEDNIPPLLLLLLLLLLLES!
GREASEDNIPPLLLLLLLLLLLES!
Leonard Nimoy famously noted, in his second autobiography I Am Spock, that those really were Montalban's pecs, and he really did pump iron to get them.
And yes, I'd say that "Star Trek 2" would be my favorite of the group, not least because, with all the Moby Dick imagery going around in that movie, the implication was that William Shatner was the White Whale.
"Star Trek: First Contact" returned to the Moby Dick tropes, with Picard as Ahab (and didn't Patrick Stewart actually play Ahab in a TV movie later on?) and the Borg as the White Whale. Perhaps it's no coincidence, then, that "First Contact" is my favorite of the Next Generation movies.
