I have a feeing that most would, should they ever be asked, and the general lack of participation in any given project might typically have to do with general availability. Because of the “independent” nature of this project, it was probably able to shift the production schedule around to accommodate everyone’s availability, rather than more mainstream projects having a set production schedule wherein the casting directors would have to worry about actors’ availability.
edit: ok, so I’m 13 minutes in, and I had to stop so I could smoke some pharmaceutical weed, because the banana-guava moonshine I’m day-drinking just isn’t enough.
ok, of note: Kirk is immortal and played by a puppet that is definitely from Team America: World Police. I guess Snoop got it from Matt Stone or something, but it’s just perfect for this film somehow. Also, tribbles are in this move, but they’re, instead, fluorescent-colored afros called Cripples (as in the Crips gang), and they have hair picks stuck in them. it’s cute and funny.
All of that crazy I’m talking about in a single picture:
edit 2: immediately following this screen grab, Snoop emerges from the Guardian of Forever portal and tries to seduce the Cripples, which are, apparently, female. They’re into it.
edit 3: you must be at least THIS wasted to enjoy this “film” (yes, that is a jar of moonshine)
hmmm… I can see that as being possibly problematic. one would think that Snoop would have said something if he thought so, considering he’s in the scene and says it himself, several times.
Honestly I'm only 4 minutes in and I have no idea how it has such a low score - "Kirk?! Are you kidding? Is he still alive?" "Better than alive, he's immortal!" "What the hell, don't tell me he sold his soul to the Weinsteins!!"
It starts out very well, gives off Spaceballs vibes (but better), but when it picks up into the main story it kind of falls flat imo. Still pretty good to watch baked, some good jokes. I was cracking up when Tim Russ gave his origin story lmao.
I haven't seen it (yet), so it'd be premature to nominate this as the official movie of TenForward. But also, this seems like it should be the official movie of TenForward.
