Anson Mount and Ethan Peck at Star Trek: Las Vegas 2023

Photos of Anson and Ethan's Strange New Worlds panel at STLV convention, August 6 2023.

To great fan excitement, Ethan also joined fellow Spock actor Zachary Quinto at his panel, inspiring social media discussion on a possible crossover between Strange New Worlds and the Kelvin timeline Star Trek films! \o/ This was the first time the two actors sat down together and talked to each other. :)

i think the team behind the star trek 2013 game locked the entire reboot cast in a closet and made them record their lines in alphabetical order, bethesda style, except for karl urban who i believe is being held at gunpoint or possibly has a slice of cake being dangled in front of him on a string judging by the nervous tension in the stiffness in his line delivery and that its a 50/50 if he remembers he is supposed to be doing a southern accent halfway through a take

God I forgot how much I love the Kelvin Timeline movies.

The first one has SO MANY great lines!!

Chris Pine was so fucking pretty.

Zachary Quinto being able to make "Live Long and Prosper" come out like, "Fuck Off and Die."

Karl Urban being practically possessed by the spirit of Dee Kelly he played Bones so well.

Baby Anton. Nuff said.

Simon Pegg bringing a whole new comedic flair to Scotty that made it his own and yet was still true to the original.

Zoe Saldana giving all the sass and sex appeal, but could still kick your ass and you'd THANK HER for it.

John Cho being an unassuming BAMF while still being adorable and squee.

How did Eric Bana make, "Hi, Christopher. I'm Nero..." sound like a gay pick up line???

Seriously. I fuckin' LOVE this damn movie and timeline and am SO SAD that it was cut short. But at the same time, so glad that they decided not to go forward with more movies and have to either write out Chekov or recast, cuz both would have been so wrong.

Edit: I'm rewatching this trilogy right now, so I felt this needed repeating. I mean, it's not just the 2009 movie I love. I even really fucking enjoy "Into Darkness" and I hate Benedice Cumberland. There's great lines in it; it is so pretty even when it's gritty.

And then there's "Beyond" which is probably my absolute favorite. I love every little thing about that movie.

All 3 of these movies are fantastic, and I will truly be forever depressed we didn’t get the chance to have other movies they had wanted/planned to make.

Oh hello Dr. Woof Wolf - a series

I've gone down a Zachary Quinto rabbit hole and now you will all suffer with me. First up:

This is Wolf looking at his husband Nichols in mock annoyance as he clicks a picture of him during their wedding reception.

Sorry but quick edit - I need to mention my mutual @chadwarwickd whose blog literally pushed me down the rabbit hole! Lol

I am a Spapel.

But Spirks: You ushered in the golden age of AO3, and you’re so real for enjoying that hand-shake in SNW 2x06.

Chapel x M’Benga folks: M’Benga is so underrated; I see you and I love you.

Chapel x Ortegas girlies: You’re so, so right, preach to the bi choir.

Spuhura enjoyers: 10 y/o me watching Zachary Quinto & Zoe Saldana was right there with you, and Celia & Ethan bleed so much talent, I sincerely understand.

Countless others: Love yourselves and I love you too.

I am a Spapel.

But I am a Spapel of Peace 🖖🏻

Had nothing to watch with dinner tonight so I finally sat down and started watching the show at least five people I know called "a House rip-off".

I was thoroughly charmed. Suprisingly so. Happily even.

I mean, I absolutely totally see why the people in question called it a House M.D. rip off (jury's out if I agree with that or not); but, at the same time I was far less inclined towards a desire to smack Zachary Quinto's character in the face with a hard object after twenty minutes compared to Hugh Laurie's. So there's that going for it already. (and House? probably one of my favorite all time shows...still wanted to throttle the main on a regular basis)

I am mildly upset they did not provide me with a pretty blonde Australian to look at for an hour. And yes, the surgeon is pretty. And blonde. But not really to my taste. Also, I respect Zachary Quinto too much to ogle him? (lies all lies) (The first step is admitting you have a problem and when it comes to my tv I am shallow and proud of it) Was going to write tonight but instead I'm just going to keep watching until it's time to pass out (or ya know, be an adult and go to sleep at a reasonable hour so I can function tomorrow for 8 hours among other adults).

Edit: before anyone jumps on me - yes I know the show is based on Dr. Oliver Sacks writings and case studies. Doesn't mean that it wasn't also written to be a tv show and there are certain fictious characterizations and exaggerations that have prompted a bit of a comparsion to another off-beat tv doctor.

Down Low - Movie Review

Last night, I watched Down Low, a queer dark comedy starring Lukas Gage and Zachary Quinto. The movie was written by Lukas himself and Phoebe Fisher and directed by Rightor Doyle.

Is this movie good? Well...no, not really, but it does have some redeeming qualities and overall I'm glad it exists. I watched it because I find Lukas to be a very compelling young actor. I've also been a fan of Zachary for years, so the two of them together in an unapologetically gay, wacky, horny, raunchy dark comedy was right up my alley.

LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD, THEN A BIGGER SPOILER AT THE VERY END.

There are several legitimately funny moments in this movie. Unfortunately, there are just as many, if not more moments where the jokes fell flat. The kinetic, comedic chemistry between Zachary and Lukas does a lot of heavy lifting. Their dynamic is very unique, especially in the comedy genre, which brings a freshness to the story.

Lukas plays Cameron, a delightfully chaotic and unapologetically gay sex worker who takes it upon himself to be Gary's (Zachary Quinto) gay life coach when he finds out that his opening act handjob is the first time he's ever been touched by another man after a lifetime of being in the closet. Cameron lures a man to Gary's house for a hookup. Things take a dark turn when the hookup arrives and subsequently dies in a slapstick sequence.

This is the kind of movie where instead of the characters being racked with guilt over accidentally killing a man, things turn into a madcap comedy of errors in an attempt to dispose of the body. I love a good dark comedy, so I was on board with this premise and ready to suspend my disbelief.

The problem is that the script, frankly, could have used a few more rounds of editing. For one, the characters say each others' names with alarming frequency, especially in the first act. I don't know if that was written into the script or if the actors weren't reading the lines as written, but the absurd number of times Cameron says Gary's name quickly became very distracting. It's hard to imagine they couldn't see this was a problem simply by counting the number of Garys in the script, but somehow this went unnoticed. It does get better in the second half, but it took me out of some delightful comedic moments in the first half.

There is a lot of potential in the bones of the script, however. The dialogue could have used some polish, and the tone was a bit uneven in parts - which is a shame because there was a chance to make a true classic of dark comedy from a queer perspective. This is Lukas' first writing credit, and I see a lot of potential in his style and comedic instincts.

The best part about this movie is that it doesn't cater to straight audiences. There is no over-explaining anything, and no sanding off the rough edges of hookup culture. Everyone can enjoy this film, but it's clearly not compromising anything about the story or its characters to make straight audiences more comfortable.

The story has heart as well. The friendship between Cameron and Gary is unorthodox but earned and well-developed. Cameron feels pity for Gary, but also genuinely cares about him. Gary in turn, finds his first real friend in this random twink he hired for a happy ending.

The foundations of the movie are solid, but some of the key scenes and setpieces, were they executed better with a more solid script underneath, could turn it into a true cult classic. It still might find a spot in cult queer films, precisely because the character dynamics are so unique and the whole thing is very much a gay male story without all the sappy trappings of a Hollywood narrative.

One of Down Low's biggest flaws is that the movie doesn't know what to do with Lukas and Zachary's chemistry. On paper, the two were probably supposed to be into each other, but their chemistry was that of unlikely friends rather than sexual. So when they...

REAL SPOILER

...do have sex, it isn't very sexy. I never expected a movie starring two queer men, written by a queer man to not deliver in the sex scene department. I don't think it was a problem with how the scene was shot, but rather Zachary and Lukas didn't convincingly feel into each other in that way.

I hope this movie represents only the first we see Lukas Gage writing. He's got an interesting vision and a talent for madcap comedy. Seeing him play a chaotic gay man he wrote for himself was a treat. Just...maybe keep the script in the editing cycle a little longer next time?

Rating: 3/5 Garys.

(I counted 6 mentions of Gary in this post, which is about 1/5 of the times his name is said in the first 30 minutes of the movie.)
