Have you ever found yourself wondering what it would be like if Sterling Archer captained the USS Enterprise? Of course you have! Well now the inspired folks behind Starcher Trek have made those musing a reality by melding audio from Archer on FX with animation from Star Trek: Than Animated Series from the 70s. The first installment below (with hopefully lots more to come). Skip ahead if you don’t want to be spoiled on cast correlations, because: Sterling = Kirk (obviously), Lana = Uhura (obviously), Ray = Sulu (obviously), Cyril = Spock (fairly obviously), and Krieger = Bones (correction: Scotty, not so obviously). No Pam, Cheryl, or Malory sightings just yet, and I’m curious to which Star Trek characters they’ll align with, but hopefully all of that is tackled in the second installment. Oh, and Barry as Kahn or GTFO. Until then, please enjoy Kirk ripping from Deliverance and Bones refusing to recognize your authority.
Bill Hader dropped by Conan last night ostensibly to promote The To-Do List and the many other projects he has his fingers in (like writing full-time for freaking South Park), but instead spent almost his entire visit talking about a Tumblr dedicated to how poor his clothing choices are and doing an impression of his wife that is essentially him doing an impression of his wife doing an impression of Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With At a Party. I’m sure Mrs. Hader was none too pleased, but oh man it is ludicrous and great. I take way too much pleasure in other people haphazardly making fun of their significant others in what is sure to be an act of self-destruction. Oh yeah, Bill also always wears the same shirt to everything apparently, as evidenced by the image above. No regard for wardrobe or wife retaliation? Bill Hader gets all the respect.
To promote Pacific Rim, the Warner Brothers website has a Jaeger designer app which lets you create your own giant robot design, name it, and stick it in a poster. But could fans come up with names as unique as the film’s robots Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, and Crimson Typhoon? Oh yes. Kris Straub (via Angelophile) came up with the picture above, the perfect use of a promotion like this. Straub’s other designs were just as magnificent:
Pacific Rim may have finished third at the box office this weekend, but that doesn't mean we can't continue to enjoy the silly names of the giant robots (Jaegers) in the film. With names like Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, and Crimson Typhoon, these robots would be right at home in Key & Peele's "East/West College Bowl" sketch.
