    I love that so many trek actors are happy to work with snoop on an obviously ridiculous project

      I have a feeing that most would, should they ever be asked, and the general lack of participation in any given project might typically have to do with general availability. Because of the “independent” nature of this project, it was probably able to shift the production schedule around to accommodate everyone’s availability, rather than more mainstream projects having a set production schedule wherein the casting directors would have to worry about actors’ availability.

    I have a good feeling about this…

    edit: ok, so I’m 13 minutes in, and I had to stop so I could smoke some pharmaceutical weed, because the banana-guava moonshine I’m day-drinking just isn’t enough.

    ok, of note: Kirk is immortal and played by a puppet that is definitely from Team America: World Police. I guess Snoop got it from Matt Stone or something, but it’s just perfect for this film somehow. Also, tribbles are in this move, but they’re, instead, fluorescent-colored afros called Cripples (as in the Crips gang), and they have hair picks stuck in them. it’s cute and funny.

    All of that crazy I’m talking about in a single picture:

    edit 2: immediately following this screen grab, Snoop emerges from the Guardian of Forever portal and tries to seduce the Cripples, which are, apparently, female. They’re into it.

    edit 3: you must be at least THIS wasted to enjoy this “film” (yes, that is a jar of moonshine)

      All I’m getting out of this is that we have another source for memes… and I need to talk to my “shine” guy.

            Apparently, one can buy stills to operate at home. I get these jars from them on the regular. They infuse it with flavors, and I like the blueberry one he makes. The proof is typically between 95-110. He keeps it reasonable.

      That’s… kind of racist? I mean I know Snoop is involved in this movie, but he didn’t write or direct it.

      This guy did.

        hmmm… I can see that as being possibly problematic. one would think that Snoop would have said something if he thought so, considering he’s in the scene and says it himself, several times.

          Who knows? Maybe he was fine with it. Maybe he thought it was not that big a deal even though it was kind of racist. Maybe he thought they paycheck was worth a little minor racism. I mean it’s not like it’s a character yelling the N-word.

          I wouldn’t exactly call Snoop a paragon of integrity either. He did say he loved and respected Trump.

            I dunno. I’m not gonna speculate. the word is also an antiquated ableist slur, so that’s also problematic for its own reasons…

    Between that cast and a 3.6/10 IMDB rating, I must watch what is assuredly a beautiful disaster.

      Honestly I’m only 4 minutes in and I have no idea how it has such a low score - “Kirk?! Are you kidding? Is he still alive?” “Better than alive, he’s immortal!” “What the hell, don’t tell me he sold his soul to the Weinsteins!!”

    I’ve been looking into the movie a little. Before you all get too excited…

    And I realize Rotten Tomatoes isn’t an authority or anything, but it doesn’t even have a percentage rating there at all.

    Yes please!

    I haven’t seen it (yet), so it’d be premature to nominate this as the official movie of TenForward. But also, this seems like it should be the official movie of TenForward.

    I’m already loving the opening sequence with Robert Picardo!

    They’re alive, dammit! It a miracle!

    Oh. Wait, that’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”…
