Adorable solider is adorable.

(I got that from miss_porcupine's DoD photo zen tag, which includes quite an impressive amount of plane porn and silly men jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, but also tends to show soldiers being utterly adorable. Including a video wherein a Marine greatly resembles my grandmother's sheltie (but cuter).

I just saw ST today, and I'm glad you linked to that review. I don't necessarily feel quite as strongly as Abigail does, but I admit there were dumb moments aplenty, and the ending jarred me practically out of my seat.

Thing is, I WANT to love it. But I'm not sure I do. I LIKE bits of it, many bits. But it...didn't FEEL like I expected it to feel. ::waves helplessly:: Words, I duz not has them.

Hmm. As I haven't seen it yet, my flail is all theoretical and not actual. I hope the actual doesn't disappoint, but I am braced for a certain amount of stupidity.

And it's always nice to see somebody more articulate than yourself, when you Can Not Has the Words.

Hey!

getting back to what passes for normal now

That is fantastic- I'm so glad! Plus, porn makes everything better.

I am... not so hot, really. Lots of financial trouble. You didn't miss anything, though- I haven't been talking about it. I'm glad you're still around. *hugs*

It's not so much that I think Trek shouldn't be updated as that I think it doesn't need to be in order to justify its central position in SF history. And I think if I'd found the movie more satisfying that even that wouldn't have been a meaningful objection - a good piece of entertainment is worthwhile even if it doesn't feature the first interracial kiss on TV or capture the imagination of an entire generation.

This is a really great review of the film that also talks about what made Star Trek (or at least Next Generation and onwards) special that the film is totally missing.
