The sword fighting with the new Sulu was the ****. That was my favorite scene in the movie. I thought John Cho did a good job as a young Sulu. Sulu was always a kool character.
I feel like we got a good grip on McCoy. Scotty and Chekov were definitely underutilized. Heck, Scotty didn't even show up until three-quarters the way through.
I just saw it. It still felt like a prequel to me. I watched it with low expectations but I still managed to enjoy it. Some parts seemed a little rushed, and some times they would explain something and it completely seemed like they were only trying to explain it to the idiot audience.
If I made the movie, then at the very end after the red matter was destroyed it would show how things were supposed to be for the last 10 minutes.instead of continuing. Like in the Voyager ep "Year of Hell".
I guess... But it makes sense if you think about it.
Cho and Penn played uber-talented young people dogged by society's perception of them. Cho played an investment banker that's good at math and low on courage, while Penn played an over-the-top medical student looking for a good time. Now, Cho does math calculations navigating a starship, and Penn was a full-fledged doctor, and is now the face of asian PR for the current administration.
I like the woman who didn't say a single thing except for the beginning to add salt to a wound "Yes he did John, He just called you Justin! Leave right now, Ignore him! Just Leave John!" lol
Considering that 'Kumar' has left acting to work at the White House, I doubt we'll be seeing him any time soon. That's why he is no longer on 'House.' Temporarily retiring from acting to do political things.
How do you prepare yourself for such interviews? 1) Do you set up the interviews yourself or are they provided to you via an agency? 2) How do you keep yourself so calm and not jumping out of your chair with excitement?!
dude thats fkn harold he pwns, kumar should also be in the movie and they would be high all the time and fuck everything up for captain kerk and crash the spaceship or some shit rofl!
Blunty did a fine job, having a normal conversation makes for a better interview, instead of jumping from one topic to another like u see on most american TV interviews.
practice ur interviewing techniques, speech etc, coz u don't look at all comfortable...and it definitely comes across. too soft spoken, and a bit of ass-kissing....why? be yourself ffs....thats who we know.
good questions though, and Cho gives good honest answers.
It's not so much technique but perhaps nerves. I mean, how would you act if you were thrust in to a room with a camera to talk to an actor that you're really excited about? Blunty is still fairly new to this sort of thing and with that taken in to consideration I think he did a great job here.
Nerves, yes....Thrust...Neh. No-one thrust him into that room, he has a choice. All I'm asking is he be as confident as he is in his own videos, with the interviews he gives. If it is nerves, get rid of them quick...because this is not his first interview. Great job, look up the word Great first mate...this was not great.
There are plenty of other people out there who would love his opportunity and would do a better job.
Yes, because they've been doing it for longer, which was the main point of my initial comment. Besides, you act as if doing one interview suddenly makes you a master interviewer, but that simply isn't true. Blunty's maybe done what, six or seven real interviews? I'd say that he's doing a great job considering that he isn't a particularly experienced interviewer.
You can't just take my points out of context, please read the whole post before responding.
Looked like just a brain fart probably due to sleep deprivation combined with a healthy dose of geeking out :)
I think he's done pretty well really. When I'm exhausted I can barely remember my own name. Mostly I stare blankly at people and just keep wailing "I'm so tired" like a rather pathetic kitten :)
Dude, PonderPop is not some "other company" it's ME just putting a "brand" on certain typed of vids I do, particularly the reviews and interviews etc. PonderPop is me, all me and nothing but me.
dude3453, Blunty called him "Justin Cho" at first. Cho didn't notice, though, so if Blunty hadn't corrected himself, he probably would have been fine. Hehe.
What stinks about John Cho's career is that his signature movie is Harold and Kumar thus far in his career. It will be a shame if that is the movie he is remembered for. Don't get me wrong, they are hilarious movies, but they are not the type of movies that you want your career based on. I hope this movie shows that he can do a variety of roles and does not get type-cast.
Your kidding right? Chong was an actor and he is remebered by the biggest stoner movies of all times nothing wrong with it if you have a sense of humor. Not every actor wants to be like DiCaprio.
