As you may have heard the latest Star Trek movie hits theaters this Friday. But you haven’t seen this new ‘reboot’ version covered until you’ve seen it covered by The Onion:

This new Star Trek movie looks, like, soooooo boooring.
But hey, lotsa action!
but if you get an EP for this, well... sometihng will happen.
Backwards:
Saturn – You’re right. It’s pretty funny that you really can’t say this video has a lot of untruths.
Jane – Um, no! I’m on my way.
Harp – Uhura rocks! (I hope Ms. Saldana does, too).
OE – Can you believe it? People actually work there.
Karin – You’re cracking me up! Seriously. (But you know, Kent Pittman crossed my mind, too).
Monsieur – Well there you go. We could’ve caught you on the live-stream from OnTheRedCarpet.com! It wouldn’t have been too hard to single out your top-hat in that crowd (unless some freaky-deaky costumes were in the way).
Juliet – I leave it to you to leave no stone unturned. The conventions! Damn! (Those studios!) Um, wait. I work at one...
Zuma – Avatar for my favorite in-town beach – You’re right! Damnit! Now I can’t go to my local theater to see this potentially enjoyable movie either!
Mr. Mustard – The more the merrier in an Onion party.
bobbot – Thanks for the visit, no offense taken. Hope you had a laugh.
gwhizz – I do love their print stuff, but I have to say, this video killed me. Killed me. The Shatner/Gorn slo-mo fight? The Andorian crap and the stuff about scenes set around a huge conference room table? I think they’ve got it goin’ on w/their video stuff, too.
mary – you’re right. Comedy on some subjects is a pretty scary tight-rope walk. Hadn’t thought about The Onion that way, but yeah, they take on pretty much anything...
Theodora – Here’s some of the love, right back at ‘ya. I’d like to hear your review of the movie after you see it.
Dakini – Yep. I agree. The Onion’s a pretty nifty vegetable/bizzaro-world news source.
Larry – Are you saying William Shatner’s an overactor!?!?
Jimmy – My reaction, too!
Tea Lover – It can certainly make a fine break in the day. (And tea ain’t so bad either).
Roger – Thanks for stopping in.
Uh oh, what happened to the embed? I’ll have to check on that...
(And loved the end, about the elderly black woman....)
The Onion Rocks!
BTW – The Onion website updated their embedded player’s user interface component library today. The old version worked this morning, but the updated one seems to be on the fritz temporarily; they say they’re on it, and it should be fixed soon. Meanwhile, the link (below the video embed picture) works just fine.
(P.S. As an old Trekkie, love the new Trek!)
