Every Year there's a Star Trek Convetion in Las Vegas.  Yesterday I was in Vegas to attend this Exciting Event.  Even though I never got into Voyager or Enterprise I loved both the Original and Star Trek The Next Generation.  I also watched Star Trek Deep Space Nine.  I got my photo's taken with Jonathan Frakes (Ryker), Brent Spiner (Data) and Michael Dorn (Worf) all were on Star Trek The Next Generation.  I got Frakes, Spiner, and Dorn's Autographs as well.  The Highlight of the event was Sir Patrick Stewart (Picard on Next Generation, Professor X in the X-Men films).  His Photo was too expensive but I did get to meet him and get his Autograph (He Signed for 500 People).  He was Awesome!  I told him that it was an Honor to Meet Him and he Smiled and Thanked me.  It was pretty cool!  There were some great Q & A Sessions.  Patrick Stewart did a 30 Min Q&A, Brent Spiner did a 30 Min Q&A Session, and Finally Patrick and Brent did a 30 Min Q&A together.  They performed just like a 2 Man Comedy Act(Think Laurel and Hardy).  It was great and really funny!  At one Point Michael Dorn came out and pretended to beat Patrick Stewart to death like a Klingon Warrior. It was Awesome too!  I hope to do this again next year!  I'll have pictures uploaded in about 2 weeks.  The Pictures were Professionally done and the JPegs won't be ready till then.

Today Dennis Hopper passed away of a long battle with Prostate Cancer at 74!  He's best know for his roles in Easy Rider, Hoosiers and Speed!  He was never the Leading Man but His name was always atop The List of Best Supporting Actors of Any Generation!  I remember being so excited when I found out that he would be The Big Bad at the end of the groundbreaking Season 1 of 24!  He will be truely missed!

Here's a clip from True Romance of my All-Time Favorite Scene of Dennis Hopper!

I hope that everyone is doing good!  I haven't blogged or done any lists lately!  I haven't found anything interesting enough to motivate me to do do!  Hopefully I'll update on here before too long. I'll take any suggestions on what I should post blog wise on here if you have any.  Here's to a great Summer for All!

Here are some things that I am looking forward to this year!

Movie Wise: The A-Team looks pretty good!  The Expendbles looks pretty good too!  I'm looking foward to the 80's throwback film starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren.

TV Wise: The new Hawaii Five-O This Fall along with Maggie Q in Nikita sounds good!

    These Past few years Hollywood has been plagued by Young Actors Dying of Overdoses, both Prescription Drugs and Street Drugs.  First we had Heath Ledger and Brad Renfro, a few months ago it was Brittney Murphy and earlier today it was Corey Haim.  Those of us who grew up in the 80's remember the Two Coreys ( Haim and Feldman).  They were in a handfull of films together like Lost Boys, License To Drive, and Dream A Little Dream.  Both have been known for not just their films but for their Drug Habbits over the years.  Whereas Corey Feldman beat his addiciton years ago, Corey Haim has struggled with it throughout his life especially most recently with his Prescription Drug Problem which it looks like it may have played a part in his Death!  Corey Haim was my favorite Child Actor growing up and I've been pulling for him to get his movie Career back on track!  Corey had much success early on in his career but was plagued with mostly straight to video films during the 90's becase of his Drug Habbit!  Last year he was in (Crank 2: High Voltage) his first Big Screen film in 6 years and he had about a Half Dozen Films in the can waiting to be released and its just too sad that he won't be alive to experiance the Joy in seeing his fans enjoying his renewed success.  He was taken away ,way to early from us, and we will always remember him!  Rest In Peace Corey Haim!
