Captain Ake / Holly Hunter Appreciation Thread

[Uncle Sock]

Check out Broadcast News and Raising Arizona.

I just realized that my post may not have expressed what I meant very clearly. For me, it's not about her acting abilities. I'm not American, so perhaps there's some social or cultural significance to her that I'm unaware of. For example, I'm not from the UK either, but I understand that Maggie Smith and Judi Dench are considered "national treasures" there. Perhaps Holly Hunter is considered a national treasure in the same sense in the US, but I wasn't really aware of that. That was the comment I wanted to make in the first place.

I will definitely check out those movies. Thanks for the recommendation!

Check out Broadcast News and Raising Arizona.

Raising Arizona is a masterpiece.

I hope at some point she'll have the cadets in formation: TURN TO THE RIGHT!!!

And let me add O Brother, Where Art Thou? (another great Coen Brothers movie).

She is a huge get for Star Trek.

Raising Arizona is a masterpiece.

Wait till you see TRUE GRIT 2010 and NO COUNTRY.

Probably a distant descendant

I'm just not the small universe fan. Let her be unrelated.

Of course, if they are rare, it's understandable Lanthanites would know each other.

I do love Pella.

I like Captain Ake. I don’t really understand the obsession with Holly Hunter, though, since I mostly know her from The Piano.

I liked her in The Incredibles.

I like the character, but I'm already tired of all the gratuitous foot closeups. I expect pandering to internet fetishes is the modern equivalent of catsuits and miniskirts.

Really?

i wonder if captain ake is related to palia from stranger new worlds like a descendent

Since this is Star Trek, the answer is "of course."

I hope not. That really would be small universe syndrome.

She was also great in her small role in the, in my opinion, quite underrated Batman vs Superman (ultimate edition of course).

Oh yes...Senator Finch. Wonderful performance there.

I was all behind her until Ep3. That episode showed her to be some kind of child in a adult body and a hypocrite, I wonder how much the next 7 episode can salvage this character.

I felt that she was the only adult in the room.

 

[nightwind1]

It's a movie, based on a popular Broadway play back in the day, starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak, not to mention Jack Lemmon and Elsa Lanchester.

Bell, Book, and Candle is to Bewitched as Forbidden Planet is to Star Trek.

(Along with I Married a Witch from 1942.)

And it's a GREAT movie.

 

[nightwind1]

“Low energy”, “frail”, and a series of photos showing exactly the opposite…

“Old”/“Old”/“Old” — no doubt true from a 20-year-old’s POV, really not from this 57-year-old’s; certainly not in the clearly intended-as-pejorative, “she’s not young-person-hawt enough for me, as if that mattered!” manner you seem to intend.

(Also, Holly Hunter is as awesome as she always has been.)

I've loved her ever since "Raising Arizona".

 

[WarpTenLizard]

Since this is Star Trek, the answer is "of course."

This time though it would make some sense. I assume Lanthanites are a minority on Earth. And SFA is centuries after SNW. If Ake traces backwards enough she can probably find a relation to any famous Lanthanite.

I hope not. That really would be small universe syndrome.

While I agree, I also tend to wonder how many Lathanites there are. Are they an entire race or like five or six?

Instead of Pella, though, I hope she's the daughter of Flint.

Requiem for Methuselah (episode)

While the Enterprise searches for the rare cure to a deadly disease, the landing party is confronted by a reclusive man who is willing to kill to preserve his privacy. Its crew suffering from the deadly Rigelian fever, the USS Enterprise pays an emergency call on a supposedly barren planet...

You almost have a point there, the head of the war college was acting like a child also, though not as much.

Though to be honest, Thok was the only real adult in the room in that episode. Then she ruined it by going back to tell say Ake was right (BS)

It reminds me of the rule on VOY that Janeway could never be wrong.
