Never buy insurance from a Ferrengi. I just watched a YouTube video detailing the 285 Rules Of Acquisition – or at least all of them that were mentioned on Deep Space Nine. Honestly, after watching this video, I wouldn’t buy anything from a Ferrengi. There are much better places to buy things like Wholesale Insurance, antique statues, and information about your enemy’s weaknesses.

People have argued for literally decades about which was better: Star Trek or Star Wars. Here is an interview in which William Shatner gives his opinion on this widely debated topic:
Personally, I feel the debate is like comparing apples and oranges. One takes place in our future and one tells a story that happened “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
It goes without saying that Star Wars had better special effects than the original Star Trek series, but that’s the difference made by 10 or 12 years worth of technological advances in movie making. If Star Trek had been made in the late 1970s instead of 1966 then the special effects would have been very different. To see this, all you have to do is watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture and pay a little less attention to how slowly the story seems to move along and a little more attention to the special effects.

Until recently when I was cruising YouTube.com,I had no idea that Brent Spiner did such a good impersonation of Patrick Stewart. Combine that with Mr. Spiner’s somewhat imaginative sense of humor and you get some really funny videos.
Here are a few examples (I’ve saved what I think is the best one for last):

While browsing videos on youtube recently I found a compilation of Star Trek demotivational posters that I had to share here.
Enjoy.

The latest release from Marvel Studios is Captain America: The First Avenger. While the story is very different from the 1979 made-for-TV Captain America, this one looks like it is definitely worth watching.
