Random thoughts...

I watched the trailer whose link was posted some screens back: So obvious that Chris Pine is way outclassed as an actor in that scene.  It was like watching a grown-up talking to a child.

As for watching the movie with other board members: KeepersPrice and I are hoping/planning to do that, too.

But, question:  Why, since it's a Hollywood production, is the movie opening in other countries first, before opening in the US on May 17th?  It's so unfair to make us Americans wait so long!   I mean, here is where it all started...

 
You know.... not to put down the "original" crew at all, because they really are great, but... it is kinda sad/kinda feel sorry for a little, no?  With Ben in the picture, considering both his talent, and the media continuing to pay more attention to this strange-awesome-British-guy, he's getting a lot of the accolades.  In that scene, Ben just exudes steeliness, and Chris has been a good actor, don't get me wrong, and great emotion on face and eyes, but when he speaks, the anger just almost seems... forced?  I remember that from the last movie, too... Ben 'playing' angry, on the other hand....  oi... uh, let's just say I can't wait to be blown away by those moments..... and it certainly won't seem like he's playing.    ;)


(and who knows, Sherli.... they're doing that with IM3, too, and have with plenty others!  probably to do with touring schedule?)

Oh, that's hilarious, Mattlocked!

*SHRIEK*
Can't they give warnings before showing the trailer on TV? Maybe a short message like "please sit down, you'll see the trailer in 3..2..1.."

LOL--As a matter of fact, I usually say US American when speaking with people in my locale, precisely for the reason you stated: I had friends from Canada who took exception, and rightly so, to people who did not include them in the definition of American, and when I teach about Mesoamerican history to my students, I make a point of telling them that people in Mexico and Central America are also Americans.  I actually thought about using US American in my post but thought it sounded pretentious!  So thank you for the reminder!

Oh dear, Kirk is such a miserable wimp 

I'll take some tissues, too. But if this is a sort of prequel to the later adventures and he's one of the established villains he might survive. But it's better to expect the worst. As for the voice - incredible. 

Naw. I'll need a shock blanket.

By the way, has anyone heard of Lily? Haven't seen her around for a few days...

Last heard of her on Saturday, or was it Sunday?

Will you bring your own shock blanket, or should I bring one? Oh, make that two!

That's my countdown as well.
Do you like Star Trek, too, or are you just watching it for obvious reasons?
