Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - The Rifftrax Edition

Click on the title of this post to see what I'm talking about.

First, let it be known that I AM NOT A TREKKIE. Despite popular belief, although I am a big geek, I do not claim to love Star Trek. I actually find it quite boring. Correct labels for me would be "Ringer" (LOTR Fan) and "Star Wars... er.. person." But lets move on from scrutinizing the extent of my nerdom. Please.

That being said, I rented Star Trek VI for the sole purpose of viewing it with the Rifftrax commentary. For those of you who don't know what Rifftrax is, leave now. You're no friend of mine.

I'm kidding. No really, we're still friends. I promise.

Rifftrax is the rebirth of my favorite TV show of all time, MST3K. Basically, the entire premise of the show is a bunch of dudes sit in front of some of the most horrible movies ever made and rip them to pieces. Hilarity ensues.

Star Trek VI, although not as awesomely bad as Star Trek V (affectionately called "Shatner ruins the franchise"), is pretty hilarious when you add commentary. Mike and Kevin just rip it to pieces... "Dueling Shatners" is a classic moment in cinema history. As Mike says, "He can't even out-act himself!" Which is just so true. So true.

If you're a nerd, a wanabe nerd, a Trekkie, a Star Wars fan, or just a person who enjoys a good laugh - I highly recommend Rifftrax. They have a whole bunch of movies up on the site, so far I have watched Star Trek V, IV, and X-Men. All were hilarious. The Star Trek ones were the most ab-crunching since they're just so ridiculous.
