Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Not enough music. The main theme got tiresome and tedious by the end.
I always liked to think Pike promoted Kirk because he immediately recognized the younger man’s courage, aptitude and potential. The thing with Kirk’s dad was corny, and frankly, it made Kirk’s speedy promotion look like nepotism.
They seriously overdid that thing with the apple. And Kirk’s brother: Yeah, that’s a problem. It’s not like it was a tough problem to avoid.
They should have had a Gary Mitchell and a Number One. That would have been seriously awesome.
I didn’t like that trick they did with the transporter beam halfway through, the one where Scotty almost drowned. Real science just frowns too much upon it.
Zachary Quinto’s nose isn’t shaped right.
Is that it? Yeah, I think that’s an exhaustive list of my meaningless, pain-in-the-ass complaints. Other than that — perfect. If it came out last year, I’d say it was by far the best film of 2008, and a lot of fine entries came out in ’08 so that says a lot.
The best performances were from McCoy, Spock and Pike. And Uhura looks just-plain-hot, which was obviously intentional. Overall, great film. See it. Wonderful summer fun, and a strong reboot that is more than up to the task that awaits. Leaves you hungering for more, as all reboots should.
