... Because, really, threads like this are why this forum was created.
Star Trek is heading toward the final frontier of mass-media overexposure, and we all knew Larry Flynt would be sitting in the captain's chair of this creative enterprise:
Goddamn, but is Jada Fire the ONLY black woman working for Hustler Video now?
Because between hiring her to play Uhura in this, and already having hired her to play Condoleezza Rice in Who's Nailin' Paylin?, I'm starting to think that Larry just said, "You know what? Fuck it; ever since Vanessa Blue went into semi-retirement, Jada's the only black chick I even need to bother calling for these jobs anymore, especially for my porn parodies."
Not that I ever mind seeing more of Jada, because, you know, goddamn, just LOOK at her, but there ARE other hot black girls in porn, Larry.
That being said, Jada's a much better fit for Uhura than she was for Condi, and indeed, having just downloaded this flick for free online, I'm impressed, not just by how well-cast it is (Evan Stone as William Shatner FTW!), but also by how exhaustively it references the source material.
Just to give you some idea of what I mean, Who's Nailin' Paylin? contained five sex scenes - Palin/Russian troops, Palin's husband/her assistant, Palin/her husband's business partner, young!Palin/her college professor, and Palin/Hillary/Condi - and it ran just under an hour and 45 minutes, even with a script that was littered with references to the 2008 presidential campaign.
By contrast, This Ain't Star Trek contains the same number of sex scenes - Spock/alien girl, Khan/female Starfleet officer, Kirk/Vulcan girl, Bones/Nurse Chapel, and Kirk/Uhura/Spock - but its run time is an hour and 58 minutes, and all of that extra time is devoted to exposition that homages the original Star Trek series so exhaustively that it almost feels like an (admittedly low-budget, badly-acted) attempt at reviving the franchise, rather than an exploitative satire of the same.
I mean, for fuck's sake, the flick starts out by having the faux-Enterprise crew discovering and boarding the SS Botany Bay (yes, it's even identified as such), and then goes on to recreate the romantic relationship between Khan and Lt. McGivers in "Space Seed," right down to giving her porn counterpart the exact same name (at the very least, somebody actually bothered to Wikipedia these details while they were writing the script for this flick).
This is an impressive achievement in porn parody, and between this and Who's Nailin' Paylin?, we're rapidly approaching a watershed, when pornographic satires will actually manage to be more intelligent and well-produced than those aspects of popular culture that they're parodying.
In other words, Larry Flynt is nudging us ever closer to the moment when reality itself will finally Jump The Shark (and suck its cock).
