I decided to give away some books- And THIS is what happened!

So, we went to SNEAK PREVIEW of STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS on Wednesday night, and so I figured I would stand up and give a way a few books in a fun way... here's what happened:

From 2013-05-17

Old Spock versus New Spock in a Race To The Club

I got this from my friend Jenny Lando, who saw it on io9.com, which is doing a little cross promotion with the Star Trek Into Darkness movie.

There is no such thing as a Star Trek/Nimoy fan who doesn't like this commercial for a German car:
  Old Spock and New Spock, Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto

 I mean it has Bilbo Baggins, the young whippersnapper gets his comeuppance, and there are Star Trek lines galore...!
The tag from the Audi YouTube: What happens when old school goes head to head with new school in a battle of speed and wits? Leonard Nimoy takes on newbie Zachary Quinto and his all-new Audi S7.

JJ Abrams Talks Star Trek: Into Darkness

Star Trek Into Darkness- JJ Abrams speaks!

Yes! I am really looking forward to the new Star Trek Into Darkness movie coming out this summer, and JJ Abrams (who is normally pretty secretive) has a little to say about it:

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS

"Relentless" they say- well, I'm hoping to see another action-packed, blockbuster, audience grabbing film that makes more and more people interested in the rest of the world of Star Trek-

Including: CAPTAIN KIRK'S GUIDE TO WOMEN- How To Romance Any Woman In The Galaxy, The finest gift for any Star Trek fan!

 The way I see it, the more people who see the big movies, the more likely it is that we'll see more and more Star Trek stuff happening, and I don't ever want it to go away.

 My cousin doesn't see it this way, but he just misses the old cast. I do too, and I WISH that Shatner would show up somehow! To me, he will always be the REAL Captain Kirk, but I have to admit that I liked Chris Pine in the last film.

 Anyway, I'm sure the general public will like this trailer, and the fanboys will be looking for more clues as to who everyone is playing, but I don't want to know!!

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

Star Trek Into Darkness Bad Guy

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

So Star Trek has always been about what kind of awesome future we could have with people working together.

And hot chicks.

But even more so now, taking up the ritual is JJ Abrams, who (even though some people don’t really like him) is doing something cool. Real fans like me are excited and happy to see the new Star Trek sequel “Star Trek Into Darkness.”, but there’s a kid who has a terminal illness, and one of his dying wishes is to see the new film.

JJ Abrams is going to let him see a sneak showing so he can see it before he dies.

I mean, the whole idea of that is nuts, but I have to admit, if I knew I were dying (and aren’t we all?) I would definitely be feeling like I’d be missing out on that new Star Trek Into Darkness movie. Seems dumb, but I’m not the only one!

“Star Trek Into Darkness” delayed..

There have been production mess ups, so it got pushed back (into darkness?) so there’s even more anticipation. I went to see the 9 minute preview that they showed before The Hobbit, and I loved how exciting it was. I really look forward to it.

But for one fan named Dan, it was something more, as Dan has been diagnosed with a non-treatable form of cancer. On Christmas Day, his friends and family took to the internet, and posted his plea on Reddit.: Help get Dan an advance screening of “Star Trek Into Darkness.”

Whereas I’m sure there are people in the boardrooms of Paramount who would deny the request, no matter how much money they were offered:

For director J.J. Abrams, the good of the one outweighed the good of the boardroom!

From NEXT MOVIE:

“It was truly amazing that a filmmaker so secretive as J.J. Abrams was kind enough to show this to us,” Dan’s wife posted a few days ago. “It is also so wonderful for his friends & his family to finally hear some good news from us, they know how important film is to Daniel & could not think of a better way to please him. So this gesture really has brought a lot of smiles all around.

“It was a wonderful thing to see with Daniel and a wonderful thing to see Daniel enjoy – Making someone as ill as he is smile for any length of time really makes a difference. (At this point making me smile is good too),” she continued. “This is also so poignant as JJ Abrams took so much care in the first ‘Star Trek’ movie to at least TRY to get everything ‘right’ for the fans and we were so touched when he was concerned that we wouldn’t 100% enjoy the screening as it’s still being worked on……. Be assured we enjoyed it 110%!

“We are so grateful thank you, thank you, thank you….”

A great story to start the new year.

Will YOU go see Star Trek Into Darkness?

That’s my plan, and I hope maybe to see you there. And frankly, I hope Dan gets to see it again.

Yes! New Official Full-Length Star Trek Trailer!

The New Star Trek Trailer is here!

Not to be confused with the TEASER trailer…

This weekend, they released the first 9 minutes of the movie with the IMAX showings of The Hobbit. I haven’t seen the first 9 minutes yet; this weekend we had a bunch of stuff to do and I still haven’t seen The Hobbit. I will have my review of that any day now, but for now…

here’s the New Star Trek Trailer:

It looks like the bad guy is in a Starfleet shirt, and I have been keeping myself away from all of the spoilers because I don’t wanna know! I just bought the Star Trek Comic books for my cousin, and I’ll probably read them before, but I promise not to spill the news!

I don’t know about you, but as the author of Captain Kirk’s Guide To Women, I am super-excited about seeing the new Star Trek movie!

New Star Trek Trailer is Out Of This World!

Red Alert Cadets!

The New Star Trek Trailer from J.J. Abrams' New Star Trek movie ("Star Trek: Into Darkness") is available and online!

It sounds like Patrick Stewart is doing the voice over, and it looks like the guy from that New Sherlock show on BBC is the villian. I know, I know, I;m supposed to have researched all of this, and The New Star Trek trailer has been out ALL DAY, but I'm just getting around to posting this!

Here it is:



Now here's the really cool thing about the New Star Trek Trailer- There's ANOTHER one that is cut for the Japanese market, anad it's a few seconds longer... 12 seconds longer. It might not seem like a lot, but that's 20% longer! Was that really Vulcan of me?

Anyway, the last few frames of the longer cut is reminiscent of a certain scene in Wrath Of Khan... just saying my heart maybe skipped a beat or two- Check out this Japanese version of The New Star Trek Trailer:




Did you see it? Exciting right? I'll be going at midnight since I don't have a day job... C'mon summer!

Spock's Guide To Women- Assigning Logic To The Illogical

Many people know I have written a few books on love and marriage, but did you know that I am also an HUGE Star Trek fan, and have written about Kirk and Spock too?

 “Oh, on the Starship Enterprise
There's someone who's in Satan's guise
Whose devil ears and devil eyes
Could rip your heart from you

At first, his look could hypnotize
And then his touch would barbarize
His alien love could victimize
And rip your heart from you

And that's why female astronauts
Oh, very female astronauts
Wait terrified and overwrought
To find what he will do

Oh, girls in space, Be wary, Be wary, Be wary Girls in space, be wary
We know not what he'll do”- Lt. Uhura

 A lot of guys would like to be as smooth as Kirk when it comes to romancing a woman, but there are some guys who think the Science Officer on the bridge of the Enterprise has more swagger with the ladies... He is half-human and half-Vulcan. Caught between two worlds, Spock's mind is in constant battle between his cold Vulcan logic and his warm, Human emotions. While his heart pumps “green ice water,” it knows loyalty, friendship and passion.

Mr. Spock is a complicated officer.

Although his romantic experience is short, he makes up for it in technique, control, and logic. Unlike the passionate nature of the Casanova of the Cosmos Captain Kirk, Spock’s mode of operation is calculated, cold, and distant.

--And it makes some women crazier than a mental patient from the Tantalus Penal colony!

By using the strategy of “playing hard to get”, Spock presents himself as a challenge and a mystery. When he romances a woman (see Chapter 4- “Romulan Commander”) Spock remains aloof, all the while implying his interest. He lets his audience believe he is “Being Two Men” by showing his emotions (however controlled) to them. Mr. Spock lets some women believe that they understand him and know who he "really" is (See Chapters 3 and 5- “Christine Chapel” and “Leila Kalomi”).

 Although it’s been said that “Cupid’s arrow kills Vulcans,” let’s take a look at a few of the times that Spock has been struck in the free downloadable report I wrote here:
