/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.

Nobody tell the Ferengi about crypto-latinum.
Or NFLs (non fungible latinum)
I think the Ferengi would be happy to sell crypto-latinum, but feel like they'd never use it themselves.
Quark: Where is the money?
Crypto-guy: It's in a virtual wallet.
Quark: ... well then, please enjoy this virtual Saurian Brandy.

Overdrawn At The Memory Bank. Raul Julia plays a average citizen who decides to take a mini-vacation by downloading his mind into the body of an ape. Complications arise when his memory is 'lost' in the system and he experiences a whole new version of reality.
Based on a story by John Varley
Saw this recently because of MST3K.
Between this, Adams Family and Street Fighter, I kinda get the sense that Raul Julia was like Bruce Campbell in that he only took on super fun, and goofy roles in not-so-great movies because he just liked having fun and didn't care about being a big star or making hella money.
It's my understanding that he cared more about stage acting than films, but he needed to pay the bills.
He was starred a Broadway production of Dracula and was apparently incredible. I would have loved to have seen it. Edward Gorey designed the sets.
Edit: also, I'm surprised you didn't mention Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a genuinely terrific film.

I haven't seen it. Yet. I will soon, now, though.
Ooh. I just realized that I replied to the wrong person in my edit, which is why my "Edit: also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a genuinely terrific film." made no sense to you.
You should. It's an amazing film. It deservedly won an Oscar for William Hurt and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. Julia deserved a nom too, but it had to be either Hurt or Julia since they had mostly equal screen time.
I didn't see the MST3K version; but from the YouTube description I saw they cut a lot out.
The story [and John Varley's stories in general] is worth a read.
Try Raul in "Moon Over Parador" and "The Gumball Rally." He almost never got the top billings he deserved.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Kiss of the Spider Woman (unless you're not familiar with it).
Street fighter was for his son who was a fan of the game. Of course, this was also while he was battling cancer and it became his last role. Incredible scene chewery.
You are slightly off on that. It was his last big screen role, but this was his last role:

He was dying while making it and died of a stroke soon after it was finished. I admit, I have never seen it.
Mom... my nuts?
