I got a question for you @OldNavy1988 how long since Ray Spum stayed in Japan

Spum stayed in Japan from 1990 until at least 1995.

Star Trek
Released by RKO Radio Pictures on November 21, 2001

Directed by
Quentin Tarantino

Produced by
Quentin Tarantino
Lawrence Bender

Screenplay by
Quentin Tarantino

Story by
Peter David

Based upon characters created by
Gene Roddenberry

Music by
Jerry Goldsmith
Alexander "Sandy" Courage

Main Cast
Edward Norton as Captain James T. Kirk
Johnny Depp as Mr. Spock
B.D. Wong as Mr. Sulu
Billy Connolly as Scotty
Michael Madsen as Bones
Sophie Okonedo as Uhura
Pasha Lynchnikoff as Chekov
Frank Vincent as Bela Okmyx
Quentin Tarantino as Jojo Krako
Joe Pantoliano as Zabo
Tony Sirico as Tepo

Storyline
The story is pretty much an expansion of "A Piece of the Action," an episode from the Original Series in which the Enterprise crew travel to Sigma Iotia II, a planet that based its culture on the mobsters of 1920's and 1930's America.

Notes
RKO had originally planned to have the original actors from the first series reprise their roles with motion capture technology as a digital fountain of youth. However, the CGI tests conducted by Industrial Light and Magic proved unsatisfactory to director Quentin Tarantino, who called the process "unnecessary." Also, DeForest Kelley, who played Bones on the original series, passed away before he could participate in the mocap tests.​

Musicana
Released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 21, 2001.

Supervising Director
Don Hahn

SEGMENTS
Experience the Rusty Cage
Director: James Algar (Sorcerer's Apprentice footage)
Featuring: Jimi Hendrix and Soundgarden

Experience the Rusty Cage combines the footage of the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment from the original Fantasia synced with Jimi Hendrix's song Are You Experienced and Soundgarden's Rusty Cage. Previously shown only once on VH1's Fantasia: Music Evolved, but this time with improved syncing.

By the Bayou
Director: Mike Gabriel
Story: Mel Shaw, Floyd Norman and Joe Grant
Featuring: Harry Connick, Jr., Kermit Ruffins, Gus St. Pierre

In the swamps of Louisiana, a colony of frogs take the form of a jazz band.

Quetzalcoatl (The Feathered Serpent)
Directed by: Duncan Marjoribanks
Story by: Marco Guerrero
Featuring: Carlos Santana and Rita Moreno

As the title indicates, this segment tells the tale of the Aztec god of life as he comes to life to ward off the Tzitzimime ("Monsters descending from above").

Bohemian Rhapsody
Directed by: Ron Clements and Jon Musker
Featuring: Queen

The City of Agrabah is the backdrop for Ron and Jon's interpretation of Bo Rap. The Ring and Lamp Genies clone themselves to sing Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon's lyrics in the "opera section" of the song.

Hero of the Day
Written and directed by: Daniel Abbott
Featuring: Metallica and Michael Kamen

Hero of the Day uses the S&M arrangement of the song, which combines symphonic score with Metallica's gritty guitars and drums. The animation takes place in a pro wrestling ring with Florian (Snow White), Henry (Cinderella), Phillip (Sleeping Beauty), Alexis (Rapunzel), Eric (The Little Mermaid), Aladdin, Hercules and Shang (Mulan) as the combatants in a royal rumble. Only one can be crowned Hero of the Day.

One More Time
Directed by: Kazuhisa Takenouchi, Leiji Matsumoto and Lachlan Cunningham
Featuring: Daft Punk
Uses stock footage from 20th Century-Fox's English dub of Urusei Yatsura.

An extended version of the song with scenes from Urusei Yatsura edited to make Lum, Ataru and other characters appear to lip-sync the words.

Points of Authority and In the End
Director: Joe Hahn
Animated by Blue Sky Studios
Featuring: Linkin Park

The grand finale to Musicana combines a new Reanimation remix of Points of Authority with the original Hybrid Theory version of In the End. In the last 10 seconds of Pts.Of.Athrty on the OTL Reanimation CD, there's a reversed sample of In the End. In this segment, that reversed sample is used to bridge the two songs together as Points segues to In the End. The Points half of the segment is pretty much an extended version of the OTL music video, complete with disembodied heads of the band members and a war between robots and aliens. In the End is pretty much a renewal of the wasteland left behind by the warring winged soldiers based on the band's mascot.​

Of all the episodes to expand into a movie, "A Piece of the Action" is one I never would've thought of.
But now that it's out there, it fits both Tarantino' and David's senses of humor.

I don't know what's stranger about Musicana. The repackaging of Experience the Rusty Cage to begin the film, using Aladdin for Queen's best-remembered song, an outright fight between the Disney Princes, a proto-AMV given a larger budget, or the finale using Blue Sky Studios to animate a Linkin Park song.

And yet, it's sheer 2000's cheesiness in the best way possible.

Hi, Roger! What do you think of Musicana?

 

[Roger Redux]

Hi, Roger! What do you think of Musicana?

I think that what's there looks great, but it's either really short or those songs are all longer than I thought.
Like, does it even meet the 90 min. requirement for a theatrical release?

 

[DucNguyen0131]

To @OldNavy1988, great job with the Tarantino Trek and Musicana! But next month, we will see Steven Soderbergh's remake of Ocean's Eleven on December 7, 2001, followed by RKO's Not Another Teen Movie on December 14, 2001, New Line's epic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on December 19, 2001, Universal's A Beautiful Mind and Touchstone/Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius on December 21, 2001, Columbia Pictures' Bad Company and New Line's A View from the Top on December 25, 2001 and Hollywood Pictures' Black Hawk Down on December 28, 2001.

The songs are expanded to pad the running time.

John Fugelsang, a VH1 VJ at the time, appears in Musicana's live action skits as the Master of Ceremonies. Basically, a new-millennium twist on Deems Taylor hosting the original Fantasia.

using Aladdin for Queen's best-remembered song

The Ring and Lamp Genies clone themselves to sing Brian, Roger and John's lyrics in the "opera section" of the song.

Tarantino has admitted OTL that he’d have made his Star Trek movie just that. It still would have been great given Tarantino and probably would work better than something like Samuel L Jackson and a battle with the Klingons but Tarantino style.

Is he gonna do it for real, or has that been scrapped?

 

[Ian78657]

So I got you question for you @OldNavy1988 we could have Vampiyan Kids short film from 1999 released with Ice Age by 20th Century Fox with some censorship such as Ko wearing his underwear.

We could, but I'd like more info on the OTL version.

 

[Marco Incognito]

Scrapped by this point as negotiations fell through. I am working on my own Pop Culture Utopia timeline and I am planning on including it possibly in place of Star Trek Beyond.
