    The only thing I want to know about Into Darkness is whether or not Uhura is an actual character in this movie.

    The Fall Guy. The series responsible for the single worst nightmare of my childhood. Ah, nostalgia.

    Haps, major Star Trek spoilers.
    I thought everything worked really well except the painful attempts to rework scenes from WoK, but those bits were incredibly awful.

    I have no idea whether those bits work for people who've never seen the original film, but for someone who's seen it many times and loves it they were just painful.
    I dunno, I kinda liked it. I guess. Like, it makes much more sense to pit Spock against Kahn in a physical fight. The reversal of the Spock dying scene also worked for me.
    And Cumberbatch did a fine job playing a megalomaniacal superhuman. Perhaps not as memorable as Montalban, but still fine.
    I think it might have maybe been better if it had been one of the others they'd woken up one of the others instead of Khan.

    They had an episode involving some movie sfx guy faking the haunting of someone's house. Somehow that was too much for my pre-school mind. But, possibly as a coping mechanism, I don't remember any of my dreams anymore. Bonus: No nightmares. So... win some, lose some.

    Yeah, ok. That's actually not a bad idea (highest praise from a Swabian!).

    Question about the new Star Trek that I haven't seen yet:
    Did Mr Evil actually have a big-ass ship as that poster implied?

    Oh, interesting, there was a second intro. I had forgotten this.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPlY_7RR1h0

    It must have been done when Diana Rigg took over.
  • JacobkoshJacobkosh Gamble a stamp! I can show you how to be a real man!Super Moderator, Moderator mod
    and a typical Vincent Price intro. This and Thriller are where I knew him from before I ever saw his movies.

    Like I said, the trailers (and posters) are actually really well done and don't tell you too much about the actual plot.
    So:
    While the answer to your question is technically a yes, without spoiling anything, it's not at all the same as in the first film.

    I think there was an episode of MacGyver that nicked all the car chase footage from the original Italian Job and edited in shots of Richard Dean Andersen pretending to drive. Just awful.
    italian job doesn't sound like a very great movie if it can pass for a macgyver episode

    Edward Gorey is civilization and I will not tolerate hearing otherwise.

    When I was really, really little my mom and my grandma would watch Mystery when we visited grandma. I was too little to be into the actual show but I would run up to the TV to watch the intro every time. It was a cartoon but so obviously unlike all other cartoons I saw that I was kind of obsessed. My grandma worked at a library so she would check out Edward Gorey books for me. I really, really vividly remember staring at some of the pages of West Wing when I was like 7.

    I am pretty sure that is the root of every single thing I like.

    - frowny bass music
    - Disney's haunted mansion at Disneyland
    - detests sunlight, only likes fog
    - has a "thing" about pale sad girls
    - was a goth

    Etc

    or, well, not always.

    Last time I took the bus home the sunlight was cool. Because the view was all, ludicrously blue fjord, super green forests, blindingly white peaks, unblemished blue sky

    That feeling when you wake up and realize you have no clue where you are.

    Went to sleep in Reno, but I think we're somewhere in Utah by now.

    Sure

    But when you live in a place which is flat and always the same and nothing ever, ever changes and the sun is ALWAYS RIGHT THERE and it is cloudy like, in total maybe3 weeks out of the year? And it rains, like, a week out of the year?

    Yeah them the sun gets really boring.

    dude this is my story more or less to a T

    every Thursday night when I was seven or eight and my dad and I were living with his parents, we'd all gather in the living room round the big TV and turn on Mystery. I would watch the cartoon and Vincent Price (because he was in Thriller!) and I would watch the show if it was Sherlock Holmes, but usually it was like Miss Marple or Tommy and Tuppence or something else I didn't care much about at age ten.

    But I was transfixed by those drawings and then I discovered the Gorey books in the school library but it was a pain because they were ALWAYS CHECKED OUT. I still haven't read them all.

    My second-last cat was terrified of one specific hairbrush

    She was totally cool with other ones, but if she saw this particular one, she would freak out

    one time I put it in front of her when she was asleep, and when she opened her eyes, she did a crazy backflip jump that vaulted her a solid three feet vertical

    what I am saying here is that I am a terrible cat owner
