Quentin Tarantino recently sat down with THR to name his top eight movies of 2009. Why only eight? Probably because he loves eight balls! *rails line off hooker* YAHTZEE! *puts foot through glass coffee table*
8. AN EDUCATION
7. PRECIOUS
6. OBSERVE AND REPORT
5. CHOCOLATE [The autistic Muay Thai movie -- jeez I still need to see that]
4. UP IN THE AIR
3. FUNNY PEOPLE
2. DRAG ME TO HELL
1. STAR TREK
Fine, Jesus Christ, I’ll see Precious already. Actually, when they just show that split-second clip of two morbidly obese black chicks trying to hit each other with frying pans (00:47) it actually looks kind of funny. I especially love the fatter one mugging for the camera afterwards.
Aw, sad fatty ;-( )) Her and emo pug should hang out, maybe cheer each other up.
IGN just debuted this new clip from James Cameron’s Avatar, “Thanador Chase”. It’s not 3-D, but it looks pretty, and watching it you can sort of imagine what it’s going to look like when it’s in 3-D. The scene is basically the Captain Kirk vs. the butthole monster scene from the Star Trek movie if you mashed it with Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest. Speaking of which, I think I speak for everyone when I say that Thanadors would be a lot cooler if they could sing songs in the voice of Tone Löc. If only he was still alive.
When I heard Diora Baird was playing an Orion Slave Girl in Star Trek, I was rightly tumescent, because Diora Baird’s breasts are made from the laughter of children and that mixture of maple syrup and melted butter that dribbles down the side of your pancakes. Then the movie came out and deflated my wiener with the one-two punch of the lack of beautiful Baird breasts and Zachary Quinto’s intrusive eyebrows. Today, we can finally see the Diora Baird scene that didn’t make the movie. And it’s… an even bigger disappointment than her not being in the movie, somehow. Dear JJ Abrams: you hired Diora Baird for your movie and you kept her fully clothed? You’re worse than Stalin. You’re like Hitler, if Hitler had promised the Jews ice cream before he gassed them, and then kicked a puppy. Yours in undying hatred, Vince.
I also like how the scene involves Kirk apologizing to an Orion Slave Girl for using her. Dude, she’s a slave girl. It’s in the title. You don’t have to treat them like Dilythian Equality Womyn.

This is a just-released deleted scene from Star Trek. I loved the movie, but this highlights the one aspect I hated — shaky-cam, quick-cut action sequences that give you no sense of the spatial awareness of a scene, just the cliff’s notes cause and effect. Anyway, I’ll let /Film describe the context because that’s easiest for me.
JJ Abrams shot a sequence for the Star Trek reboot featuring a few members of the infamous alien race, the Klingons. The scene featured Nero [Eric Bana] chained to a table being interrogated by the masked, ruffle-headed creatures with Centurion slugs who are looking to find out information on the future. The sequence basically explained what Nero was up to in the missing years. This is one of the deleted scenes in the prison break sequence that has found its way online to promote the upcoming DVD release.
Wait, so this was supposed to be the scene that finally gives us Klingons and now that it’s here they’re wearing a mask the whole time? That’s like paying for sex and then finding out you have to wear a condom. Relax bitch I told you I was clean.
New Spock Zachary Quinto stars in this Funny or Die video called Hostage: A Love Story. It’s basically a one-joke premise with the one joke being that he swears a lot, but I have to admit, Quinto hasn’t made me laugh this much since Buspockke. The only thing this video could use is Gary Busey jumping down from the rafters shouting, “I’m your worst nightmare, butthorn!”
