You Can Preserve Nature If You Want to

In other words, Nimoy claimed he wasn't preaching in Star Trek IV.  But if you decide to be inspired into conservation practices, he won't mind.

First, above is the Tulsa World's review of the film, from its December 2, 1986 edition.

And here's where he says he ain't necessarily preaching.  This comes from the December 7, 1986 (or thenabouts) Tulsa World.

While you're at it, you can save your local blue jays or bunnies, too!  See you Monday.

  

Glad THE NEW YORKER Wasn't Bored

I think it speaks volumes for the integrity of the folks at The New Yorker to assign their review of Star Trek - The Motion Picture to somebody who treats it fairly even-handedly.

Medium-boring?  Maybe in places.  Forgive the wrinkles and thickenings?  You betcha.

The reviewer watched the film with the right crowd.  He said that he felt like he was sitting in a clubhouse.  And he was correct in calling aspects of Roddenberry's philosophy "ineffable humanistic nonsense."

But unlike the guy at TIME magazine, the reviewer at The New Yorker at least paid attention!

See you Thursday.
