The Daily Scrapbook 4/7/13 (5/1979) ‘The New Voyage of the Starship Enterprise’

Posted on May 7, 2013 | Leave a comment

Here’s today’s flashback:  From the May/June 1979 issue of The Saturday Evening Post,   a four page article  about ‘The New Voyage of the Starship Enterprise’ by David L. Smith.  Somehow, I could imagine a portrait of the Star Trek Characters done by Norman Rockwell, the legendary illustrator for  the Post, I bet he’d have made a great Dr. McCoy!

Pete Campbells’s Tumble

Posted on May 6, 2013 | Leave a comment

I’m a fan of Mad Men too. so for all you other Maddicts out there, here’s a gif of Pete Campbell’s soon-to-be-iconic tumble down the steps of SCDP –  That extra  slip down the fifth stair cracks me up every time. This episode For Immediate Release, was a blockbuster of an ep last night, and it restored my faith in what seemed to be becoming season of ennui.  Now  I can’t wait to see what comes next!

The Daily Scrapbook: 4/3/13 — ST:TMP preview by Roger Ebert.

Posted on May 3, 2013 | Leave a comment

Here’s today’s flashback: From February 1979, a Us magazine preview of Star Trek: The Motion Picture from beloved movie critic and aficionado, Roger Ebert.  I was sad to hear of Ebert’s passing last month, he was a fine critic and devotee of the art of moviemaking, and his reviews should be required reading for anyone who loves movies.  Surprisingly, with all it’s flaws, he actually liked ST:TMP, which is more than I actually expected.  Roger, I hope you have the best seat in movie heaven.

The Daily Scrapbook: 5/2/13 (January 1979) TIME Magazine: New Treat for Trekkies

Posted on May 2, 2013 | Leave a comment

Here’s today’s flashback:  From TIME Magazine, a preview of ST:TMP, with speculation and a surprising amount of plot points. A photo of gorgeous Persis, of course, and a mention of how the monster in the film looks like “electrically charged whipped cream”!  I admit, even these tidbits made me concerned that it just wouldn’t be the Trek I was hoping for. (Granted, that Trek Movie wouldn’t happen for another 30 years!)

Wideo Wednesday: My MP3 Part One: Harrison, Arnaz, Association, Basie, and Beyond the Fringe

Posted on May 1, 2013 | 6 comments

Last night I got to listening to my little mp3 player, and I thought I’d share a few of my varied tastes with, via YouTube. These’ll really show my age, but what the heck.  The Tracks are as follows:

George Harrison: Rising Sun, Desi Arnaz: Tico Tico, The Association: Everything That Touches You,  Count Basie: Blues for Ilene, and finally The End of the World, by the Broadway show Beyond The Fringe, (an LP my Dad used to play so often, I have it memorized word for word-but still funny after 50 years!)  Enjoy!

The Daily Scrapbook 5/1/13 (Jan1979) Star Trek Winding Down and a showing at the Library!

Posted on May 1, 2013 | Leave a comment

Here’s today’s flashback: From January 1979, an article about the Trek movie winding down, and some interesting takes from the stars — I love De Kelley, who was just enjoying the show, much more laid back about being a part of the whole thing.  Says De:

…I’m not as ambitious as Bill and Leonard…I had a good career before Star Trek, playing mostly heavies, and I’m content to take it easy.  After all, I’ve been around a while.

(Kelley was 58 at the time of this article, bless him.) Also, a note about Nimoy’s next project “Seizure” and another boffo ad for Invasion of the Body Snatchers, And for all those nerds without dates there’s also was a showing of” The The Trouble with Tribbles” at a local branch of the Library. (Mind you, this was the era before Netflix, and Trekkies had to get their fixes anywhere they could!)V2-030 copy V2-031 copy
