Quinto is too good for this movie.

With how rabidly obsessive Trek fans are, this is going to type-cast him for the rest of his life (esp. if he agrees to sequels which I pray to the heavens he won’t) and effectively prematurely end a very promising career.

Damn you, Star Trek.

“No tears for Ceasar!”

Hail Shat!

Brett, you made me laugh.

hopefully, I make others laugh or at the very least, THINK

Quinto has the toughest role here. Because he’s playing alongside the original Spock, he HAS to develop the same mannerisms, the same physical bearing. Nimoy had true presence as Spock, much of which was supplied by that awesome voice. That’s the one thing Quinto will lack, and I’ll miss that, though I won’t let it spoil his performance for me.

I’m really looking forward to this movie.

From the episodes in Kirk’s younger day I never pictured him a drunk who gropes women. He was a serious student. But since he is not playing our Kirk I can accept it for the film. Enterprise being built in Iowa irritates as it has been confirmed it was San Francisco yards but suince this is an alternate timeline it can be accepted.

Since it is an alternate timeline I have chosen not to accept this movie as canon but this does not mean I will hate the film. I have decided to treat it a a separate entity from the rest, Like how we treat Batman Begins and The Dark Knight separately from the previous four bat films. I still love Tim Burton’s two but Nolan’s take is great in a different way. Perhaps this is how to view this new Trek movie.

Its a given that JJ Abrams has changed things that the hard core fans will hate. I still hate the new bridge and the redesigned Enterprise is not looking right for me. I will be seeing the movie.

I am excited for the new movie. All I am saying is there are going to be some changes that will take longer to get use to.

Cary grant did not “grow” in NxNW

Movie characters “had” to get married in the pre-Star Wars days.

Cary Grant was still the same self centered, over privileged, “i’m always right” muthatrucker he was when he started. He abused his mother, he abused his secretary, and he abused the blonde up to the end. The fact that he rescues her doesn’t mean that he’s had any kind of change of heart. He rescues her so he can boff her at the end of the movie. If the blonde had been a man, he would have just stolen the microfilm back and let the poor feller fall off the cliff.

The only time I can remember Cary Grant “growing” as a character was in Father Goose when he quits being an alcoholic and marries the teacher and becomes foster father to the gaggle of girls.

Cary Grant is the same character from Arsenic and Old Lace to Charade to To Catch A Thief to Walk, Don’t Run. (his last movie). He always plays himself, self important, know it all, better than you. And you know what? We liked it!

Kirk had his doubts in TOS but it was always during the “moral of the story” part at the end of the episode. Was it really so bad to kill Apollo? Was it really so bad to destroy Baal? Was it really so bad to kill so and so. But during the episode, he has no doubts. The ship is in danger, the crew is in danger, my secret gay lover Spock left his katra in Dr McCoy and I have to steal my ship to go save him.

Kirk doesnt bullshat around. He knows what he has to do and he does it. Later, when the drama is over, he sits back and thinks it over.

Kirk shoots FIRST and asks questions later. (if at all) Kirk was Gene’s alter ego after all.

Kirk for Emperor! Hail Kirk! Hail Shat!

You’ve not read up on the movie much I assume? Or the actors.
Many of those that have seen Pine’s Kirk in the sneek peeks JJ had nothing but praise for his portrayal. And the black uniform has an explaination…did you miss that?

And what’s with Kirk lounging around in his black sweats? If the girls have to throw on go-go boots and short skirts, he should have to stay in his uncomfortable boots, gold shirt and stretch-o pants. Something tells me this movie will NOT be popular with the women-folk.
