Random #startrek thoughts: With the takeover of the Trek franchise by #skydance, any previous sequel promises or incentives to Chris Pine and that cast are now gone.

Which is good: a clean slate to negotiate a new trilogy of films?

I got frustrated with YouTube's Transcript feature- so I vibe coded a solution. Try it yourself!

I Vibe-Coded a YouTube Transcript Copy Tool – It Just Works!

YouTube's own transcription tools are meager. So I created a better one!

Unless— what if this was a bridge to a New #StarTrek with Kirk back at the helm?

Huge 👎👎 to this news, @paramountplusbr.bsky.social .

So short sighted. You’ll only get to half of what TOS created in THREE seasons.

What a bummer. #startrek @startrek.bsky.social

The thing about Presence is it becomes less scary when you picture Steven Soderbergh scurrying around with a sheet over his head shooting it all

Robert Eggers could help open up this world that Henson started, and that's exciting! Nosferatu was awesome. I hope Frank Oz gets some love in this.

Is #EmiliaPerez really going to give @netflix.com an #Oscar?

Better yet: Is Hollywood really ready to put Netflix on a pedestal considering their relationship with cinema?
