Do they even still have ropes in gym class?
As usual, Wil Wheaton says it best:
"Putting [Alice Eve] in her underwear was embarrassing to me as a member of the Star Trek Family, and served absolutely no purpose other than to make teenage boys feel weird, like when they climb the rope in gym class."
I love that he loved the movie. :oD -

Star Trek Into My Pants
Bought my ticket in advance, got to the theater half an hour early... and maybe two dozen people showed up by the time the movie started. I know it's a Thursday night, but I hope that's not indicative of attendance in general. Anyway, on to...

And what a giant clusterfuck these past four years have been...
Got my ticket for tomorrow (well, later today) night! I felt weird going to a midnight screening by myself, and besides, May 16 marks four years to the day since I saw ST:XI.

It only SOUNDS like a Steven Seagal movie
Saw Zero Dark Thirty and... well... it's not the kind of movie you "enjoy," exactly, but I thought it was very good (though I may be biased by my huge girl-crush on Jessica Chastain). But the whole time, I couldn't help thinking, "You know, they'd have found Bin Laden, like, eight years ago if they'd just asked Garcia to help ( Read more... ) -
In which I just go ahead and smush all my fandoms together in my head
And lo, I sought out the only IMAX theater within 20 miles and got myself good and lost on the way there, but STILL managed to get there in time for previews for The Hobbit.
Thoughts on The First Nine Minutes:

And how can they repopulate the species with only two whales? WHALECEST = EW.
1) Anyone know where I can get a good icon of The Hands from the trailer? Or good Derek/Stiles icons?
2) Just saw Julie Taymor's version of The Tempest, and it is all kinds of awesome. I could almost even stand Russell Brand. Almost. And I kind of want to be Helen Mirren. Is this possible? Also, anyone who likes this Ben Whishaw fellow needs ( Read more... ) -
Prison security: easier to get through than airport security
Visited prison today, and it was... not much to write home about. It was a minimum-security, faith-based prison (the class was Faith-Based Programs in Criminal Justice), and we didn't actually talk to any of the inmates, mostly just the chaplain and a few guards. Still, we had to wait quite a while to be cleared to go in (even though we weren't ( Read more... ) -
My childhood phobias, let me show you them
Okay, pretty random Star Trek question that I've been meaning to ask for a while. Is there a scene in TOS or one of the movies (or possibly even early TNG) where the inside of the Enterprise starts to melt?
The reason I ask is that I have this very vivid childhood memory of watching the Muppet Babies cartoon, which was constantly using popular ( Read more... )
