Shallow me

Via the lawless internet, I can watch the new Star Trek prequel movie. But it's a camera version of what's shown on the screen so it has a kind of 1930's look to it. It's exciting, and silly. Some of the barfworthy Star Trek PC moralism remains. The new BBC Sherlock Holmes, Benedict  Cumberbatch, is the serious bad guy, Khan, who will/did show his Wrath.



Spock and Kirk out of uniform

The young Captain Kirk is the freakishly handsome Chris Pine, whose bromance with Spock (out gay man Zachary Quinto) continues, the switching of a famous franchise scene between the buddies bringing out a side of the Vulcan we have never seen before. (Vagueness to avoid spoiler.)

PS Although Uhura is now played as a super-efficient fox, she remains a woman. She starts a romance with Spock --the Vulcan-- and then gets mad at him --the Vulcan--for not showing his feelings...

The intractable irrationality of the female.

C?hris Pine's attractiveness should not be humanly possible. Which means that he was either genetically engineered to be a perfect specimen of male beauty, or he is some sort of supernatural creature. Either way, I wouldn't mind him "boldly going where no man has gone before." ;)

Zachary Quinto isn't bad looking, and he isn't too effeminate, but he gets a black mark in my book because he's dating a Glee alumnus. Who isn't bad looking, but still. I guess love really is blind.
