Star Trek Crew Does Not Like Miley Cyrus

Found this video shared by a friend on Facebook.  Aries Head Films produced this video on August 29th, just four days after the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA).  They pair parts of the onstage performance by Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus with previously recorded footage from an episode of Star Trek.

This compilation is perfect, capturing the emotions that most of us experienced when watching the VMA performance. Eventually, as the crew watches this performance of "Blurred Lines," the entire bridge crew goes mad.  What else do you expect from a song called "Blurred Lines?"

Aries Head Films is an independent film studio located in Düsseldorf, Germany. It might not be their main focus, but this is not their first viral video.  Want to see more from Aries Head Films?  You can find them on Facebook and YouTube.

Pretty good, right? What do you think?

Orange Is The New Black..and a Great Show Too...

Orange Is The New Black

I just watched the first four episodes of the new Netflix original, Orange Is The New Black, a comedy-drama series.  I can't quite put my finger on the right word to describe this show. 

The first episode was highly inappropriate, but like a horrible accident, I could not look away, and I could not turn it off.  Turns out, if you can get past the inappropriate parts, the show is pretty good.

Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, does a great job keeping a straight face through some pretty funny stuff.  I couldn't do it.  I would bust out laughing at almost everything.  In an earlier phase of her life, Piper made some bad choices, and ten years later she is found guilt of her crime, and finds herself serving time in prison.

The producers do a good job developing the characters, and their background stories, and balance each episode with just the right amount of prison time and flashbacks. I don't even have a favorite character because they are all interesting.  Well, everyone except Alex, played by Laura Prepon.  They haven't done much with her character yet, and what little they ave done is strange, superficial, and pretentious.  

Give the show a try.  You'll fall in love with most of the characters.  Of course, you have to have Netflix to watch the show.
