Gorn - Tumblr Posts
I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW WATCHING STAR TREK TOS AND KIRK IS FIGHTINH GORN AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I DIDN’T EVEN SLOW DOWN THE GIF THAT’S EXACTLY THE SPEED THEY FOUGHT AT
The most epic battle ever put on film. No, your modern flashy anime shonen fight has nothing to do against the intensity, brutality and speed between Kirk vs. Gorn 😏 Hey, I love shonen btw. In fact, I was thinking of Dragon Ball Z while doing this X_D This one was actually February's print from the ST print club. ---- Store Patreon Ko-Fi Memberships

Mothership Movie: Event Horizon
I've been watching movies recommended in the Warden's Operations Manual for Mothership, and figured this was as good a place as any to record my thoughts on them. Most recent: Event Horizon
Acting: Awesome. The only thing holding the movie together, tbh.
Visual Effects: Very good. There was a bit in the opening sequence that screamed "CG", but overall it was quite well done. Though… I do have to wonder about the design of the titular ship: It looks like it was intentionally made for the horror genre? Why are there spikes on everything, for instance? Looking for the Watsonian explanation, as the Doylist one is obvious.
Writing & Editing: So, apparently the original cut was 40 or 50 minutes longer, and they cut out a lot of gorn (new-to-me portmanteau of "gore" and "porn"). There are several places in the cut version where it feels like there's an unexplained jump in logic, time, character progression, and so forth. I don't know that the longer version works better, but it is plausible that it would? [And, no, I have no interest in seeing a version with more gorn in it, whether or not it fixes some of the holes.]
One thing that a longer cut is not going to fix is the illogic of making a decoupling system that relies on explosives. I mean, seriously. Train cars can connect and disconnect without resorting to explosives. This is existing technology. Sure, sealing against the vacuum of space makes it trickier, but, it's also REVERSIBLE. So go and find some other less nonsensical reason for there to be a bunch of explosives on board, mmmkay?
Mothership Themes: Haunted derelict Came back wrong Space Madness
Magnus Fears: You can argue for most of them, so I decided to go with the top three. I suspect "Flesh" would be in there for the full cut. The Vast - Space The Spiral - Hallucinations and general Space Madness The Desolation - Wanting to burn everything and everyone
I knew the baby and young gorn were puppets but finding out the adult gorn was ALSO a practical effect??? LOVE.
although i'm slightly disappointed they didn't keep the alligator snout, lol. but they did keep the creepy teeth!
Silly guy

This is my incense gorn. He is a gorn and holds my incense. Good day.
