Enrico Colantoni made that movie special. He walked into auditions for Mathesar and was so good at portraying the aliens as having bizarre human adjacent behavior, like vertically clapping or that braying laugh, that they rewrote the rest of the aliens to behave like him.

That man need so much respect for what he brought to Galaxy Quest.

"Theee, mmmm, historicAAL documents..." I think of Mathesar's pronunciation whenever I deal with a stack of old newspapers, which is A LOT of my volunteer time.

I love that he used some weird acting vocal exercise as the inspiration for their accent and it works so hilariously well.

He definitely committed to the bit. 25 years later and there are still things I can’t unsee.

I choose to believe you're the real Guy Fleegman and saw it all in person.

[-] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

You have a last name, Guy.

DO I????

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.
