Aziz and Star Trek

Aziz Ansari is awesome

Aziz Ansari stars in Parks and Rec

Aziz Ansari says beware of phoney IMAX!

Well, I just saw the very well executed Star Trek reboot at a real IMAX, and I thought the performances were great all around, but the true standouts were a hilarious Simon Pegg as a Glaswegian Scotty (since they changed the timeline could the alternative timeline have shifted where Scotty grew up to the West Central Lowlands? The mind boggles.), and Karl Urban, who as Dr. McCoy so effectively replicated DeForest Kelley's speech patterns and Georgia drawl without doing an impression or a parody.

I think that in the sequel, they should bring Federation weapons specialist Mohinder aboard the Enterprise to help battle Klingons, and I think I know just the man for the job! Mr. Ansari, clear your schedule...
