absolutely perfect useage of the word “visage” here, really adds to it

He strikes (struck?) me as someone who would drop a word like ‘visage’ into normal conversation.

I mean yeah probably but you gotta have a certain je ne sais quoi to pull that shit off. it’s hard. but when it works it’s so good

He was also Galvatron in the Transformers movie.

And Sentinel Prime in the Bayverse, which makes him one of the only redeeming qualities of that steaming pile of waste.

I did see that when I was checking if Nemoy continued to do the voice in the series or just the movie. (He didn’t, it went back to Frank Welker, who voiced Megatron.)

I gave the first Bay movie a chance, because did 6 year old me ever love transformers in the 80s, but one Bay movie was more than enough for me. Maybe I’ll look up the Bay scenes on YouTube so I can hear Nemoy without dealing with the rest of the movie…

He will also be William Bell forever.

DoctorWhookah ,

I loved that show and hate they had to rush an ending to it.

tslnox ,

Still I think it was a beautiful ending and they wouldn’t come up with anything better.

I had no idea that Mr. Nimoy was the son of Jewish Ukrainian immigrants.

The quote from Sputnik he read was especially memorable.

“Remember”

BlueDwaggin ,

Civ always makes me think of Nimoy. His voice-lines for Civ 4 echo in my head to this day.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

He wasn’t always Spock to me.

I saw him in tv shows like “In Search Of…” and other movies like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. I know I saw a Western with him in it, but can’t remember which one.

Yeah, Spock is his most famous role by far, and despite what anyone thinks of the new Trek movies, I really loved his part in them. (IMO Quinto does a great Spock. No, it’s not Nimoy, but it’s a really good performance.)

Maven ,
@Maven@lemmy.world avatar

He’s also one of the best bad guys in Columbo

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Aww, went looking for it and I couldn’t find the full episode. If anyone else wants to know, it’s S02:E06 Columbo: A Snitch in Crime if you want to see highlights or look for the episode.

It is on peacock but then you have to like… Use peacock…

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Nope. I’m subscribed out. Unless it can be found on the high seas, I’ll be giving this one a pass.

peopleproblems ,

Don’t forget about the Bilbo Baggins video!

averagedrunk ,

That video was the pinnacle of art. We should have just given up on society after it was done because nothing that comes after could possibly be any better.

LeafOnTheWind ,

I don’t care what people say about the new Star Trek movies at all. I liked them.

@GrammatonCleric @The_Picard_Maneuver elves fits more for Eldar from Warhammer 40k i think ;)

Decoy321 ,

No disrespect to Zachary Quinto, who is an amazing actor in his own right. But whenever I think of Spock, only Nimoy comes to mind.

Nimoy isn’t Spock. Spock is Nimoy.

TurnItOff_OnAgain ,

And lizard beats spock.

DoctorWhookah ,

As I recall, nothing beats Spock. But it has been a while since I played rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.

TurnItOff_OnAgain ,

Scissors cuts paper.

Paper covers rock.

Rock crushes lizard.

Lizard poisons Spock.

Spock smashes scissors.

Scissors decapitates lizard.

Lizard eats paper.

Paper disproves Spock.

Spock vaporizes rock.

Rock crushes scissors.

DoctorWhookah ,

I hear this comment.

    Ethan Peck. Agree! A shame he never got to act opposite Nimoy like Quinto did.

    @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I don’t even really like Disco but Ethan Peck is a great Spock. Thankful that they put him in Strange New Worlds too.

    I don’t hate it, but I also strongly dislike Trek that doesn’t follow the episodic formula, meaning I can’t drop in anywhere and have an enjoyable experience. I disliked Picard for the same reason. SNW is much more planet-of-the-week, which I greatly prefer.

    It was bad enough when cliff hangers spanned a few months; now they span a period closer to a year.

    I mean, come on. I'm getting old and yeah, I'd like to see the next episode before I die.

    WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

    Quinto has the disadvantage that the movies he played Spock in were shit overall.

    (The first two, at least. Like most people I never saw the third one.)

    Oiconomia ,

    I actually also quite like Ethan Peck’s Spock. Wonderfully cast. But of course Nimoy is still the best.

    TubeTalkerX ,

    We always do Mr. Vulcan.

    NoiseColor ,

    I have no idea what kind of person Nimoy was. He was always spock to me. The other actors I know better. What’s a good docu that shows Nimoy as a person?

    Fringe.

    The good old William Bell.

    Olivia channeling Bell is the series’ crowning achievement.

    Yes, yes it was , damn she’s a good acrtress (not to disparage Nimoy, but that was Gold)

    This gives you some idea of who Nimoy was.

    AngryCommieKender ,

    There’s a documentary about him on Netflix that was done with his family around the time he died. It paints him as a caring dad, and of course Spock. It’s been a few years since I watched it.

    The Spockumentary you seek is called For the Love of Spock (2016).
