Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water

darthcamaro writes "Earthlings Ugly Bags of Mostly Water is the name of a new documentary film - starring Worf (aka Michael Dorn)about Klingon language and culture. They've got a weird website too. 'Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water' captures the lives, passions and quirks of the members of the Klingon Language Institute during their annual qep'a' (conference). The film's producers issued a press release about it today with some interesting quotes... 'The perspective of Michael Dorn, the world's most recognized Klingon, provides both serious and comedic elements to the project,' said Earthlings Director Alexandre Philippe. 'This is a man who embodies all the elements of a Klingon warrior: honor, respect, ferocity. For years, Klingon fans have looked to the Worf character for their education in Klingon culture.' Quaplah! /. !!"

  1. "Ugly Bags Of Mostly Water" not said by a klingon by borgheron · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It was said by the "crystal beings" on the planet that was being terraformed. They were sort of like living computers. They hooked the Universal Translator up to this thing and its first words were "Ugly.... ugly bags of mostly water..".

  2. But The Quote Isn't Klingon by thelizman · · Score: 2, Redundant

    What a terrible name for this documentary! That quote was from a crystalline-based life form that killed terraformers who were destroying their habitat in one of the first seasons of ST:TNG.

    And what is equally frightening is that I know that.
