May 20, 2012.   Spooftackular No. 17  Captain Kirk: Space Rapist  (Star Trek Spoof)  (Adult fans, live action, green screens).  This is a one-main show with a very different interpretation of Kirk.  As the title implies, this is not for young children, but I decided the presentation of 'date rape' was valuable enough to keep here and not move to Star Trek Restricted.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8z76pOCcGQ  (5:27).  Posted by http://www.youtube.com/user/DanTheMan1701#p/u. The concept is small and narrow, which results in a better film viewing experience  than some spoofs which show more work.  I enjoyed it, although I can't say I found it significantly more goofy than some real TOS shows.  For more Short Star Trek comedies and parodies, go to the NEW location of those listing at Blog 208 .

BAD LINKS:  All LINKs to Megaupload are now BAD because the United States government has shut down Megaupload for copyright violations.  SEE http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/indictment-charges-7-people-tied-to-megaupload/ NOTICE THIS DID NOT REQUIRE A NEW LAW which would have empowered PRIVATE COMPANIES to do this.  I will work at removing and replacing these links over the next few months after I complete a major reorganization I am currently doing at this website, which including removing all links to Professional Star Trek from this website, to a separate site.  NOTE MOST much links are generally links to reviews and to CBS.  I do not host or copy ANY films at this website.

January 15, 2011.

January 8, 2012   Star Wreak (American)  Spooftackular No. 4*  See http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/47.html .

Newly found, not new.   Parody by adult fans.  Two films.  No standard costumes, low level special effects, green screens.  Some might find it funny, even though I did not.  There are people who actually watch Saturday Night Live, and it's better than most of their skits.  It combines bathroom jokes, ridicule for tough guy movies where the tough guy shoots everyone, and makes fun of Star Trek conventions, particularly ones that are arrogant.  The second film is a take-off on Arena.

Star Wreak (American, not the Finnish Film).  Live action parody.  Adult fans.  No costumes.  Green screens.
