It's hard staying dead for too long 
Nice to see you both, seems whatever that script was running on the site's been cleaned up.

Re: Star Trek
Yay! The same thought crossed my mind...you know...the staying dead bit.

Re: Star Trek
About the picture: Well, at least it looks like the character can't really fall off that hill!
Great to see you again, m0r!

Re: Star Trek
Hi back again!
Has anybody read that? What does he mean with `This may be better than Sherlock´? Honestly: Somehow I don´t like that hype around Star Trek.....

Re: Star Trek
I don't know but I wouldn't read too much into this. It's his first big Hollywood movie in a world famous franchise, so there's bound to be a lot of hype. As long as he keeps doing "smaller" things like radio, TV, theatre, audio books, etc. it's okay with me. I don't think he'd say that Star Trek's better than Sherlock. He knows quite well what made him big.

Re: Star Trek
Hope so ;-)). Yes, you are very likely right, but it was somehow - disappointing (imagine this word spoken in the same chant like Henry Knight does it at the beginning of THoB ;-)). Another reason for my mixed feelings is that I was listening some days ago to an interview with Chris Pine - I felt somehow like being in `the wrong film´. There is a big - hmhm, let´s say ´fall´ between the actors of SHERLOCK and this one, isn´t it? He might be a good actor (can´t say that, never saw him), but clever conversation is not so much his area, or?

Re: Star Trek
I can understand your disappointment. But I felt the same when there was this story in the summer about leaving London and moving to the US and posh-bashing, and in the end most of it was just made up. Maybe the interview was abridged and they quoted something out of context. Or it may have been an in joke.
I don't know any interviews with Chris Pine but of course Benedict is known to be very well educated, has been to university, is well-read, etc. He's not the average Hollywood star for which I'm glad. This doesn't mean all Hollywood stars are dumb, not at all, but he's got class. Just listen to him talking.

Re: Star Trek
If you look closely at the picture, is that the London Eye in the background on the left?
Makes sense the destroyed city would be London. Probably been that way since Sherlock tore it up looking for all of Moriarty's gang. After all, the movie does star "Sherlock Cumberbatch" as the villain...

Re: Star Trek
This Moving-to-the-US-Story i luckily heard afterwards. I just have discovered 'Sherlock' in Oktober :-). But i know exactly what you mean, must be somehow the same feeling that i have now. Or even worse.
Thanks for your answers, i'm making it short now, because i am using my mobile right now - Not really comfortable, it always corrects my words into German ones, stupid thing... Maybe later i am going on and will send a link to Chris pine, if i find it again.

Re: Star Trek
Plus, they're translating languages and even the article itself prefaces that, saying something may get lost in translation, so you might take that into account for how they might comes across sounding.

Re: Star Trek
I think he was saying his performance is better than Sherlock, not that the film is better than Sherlock. They're not really comparable anyway. Entirely different animals. Anyway, that's how I read it in the context of JJ's comments.
