Jars, after seeing it I'd quite like to read the comics. Which is also.. not relevent.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Hunt for 'odd' Star Trek extras
Producers of the new Star Trek movie are to hold an open casting session for people with "unique" features to appear as extras in the film.
The studio said it was interested in people with unique characteristics like "long necks, small heads, bug eyes, large foreheads and oversized ears".
Hopefuls also have to agree to have their eyebrows shaved to portray a "Vulcan-type" eyebrow shape.
Auditions will take place on Saturday in California.
Extras will get the chance to play Star Fleet military cadets in the new film, which will centre on the early experiences of Captain Kirk and his team.

Some of the facial features the studio is looking for include:
* extremely large heads and foreheads
* wide or close-set eyes
* over or undersized ears and/or nose
* facial deformities
* pronounced cheekbones
* ultra perfect or ultra plain-looking people
"Everyone must be thin, athletic, fit; wardrobe will be form-fitting. All hair lengths on males and females welcome," the casting invitation added.
ultra perfect or ultra plain-looking people
But only if they're thin, athletic, and fit.
Space - the final frontier. These are the voyages of the star ship Enterprise. No fatties.
They need that FAS-looking woman from Pushing Daisies a few weeks ago.
Tommyrot just made me choke on my coffee.
Did anybody see 30 Days of Night?
I saw it. Satisfying based on good performances until I started thinking logically about people being able to survive weeks in an unheated attic with outdoor temperatures lower than -50°F. And about an airport closing because apparently planes can't fly in the dark. And there being no ham radios in a remote Alaskan town that gets cut off by the elements every year. And someone keeping a frail old man with Alzheimer's through that sort of winter rather than taking him southward for his own health. And about Ben Foster's smelly Renfield-alike being able to steal every satellite phone in the entire town before anyone caught on that a single one of them was missing, or spotted him skulking around.
Yeah, I had to turn my the logic part of my brain off, Matt.
My one-troo-lurve-never-gonna-happen emailed me that BBC Star Trek article. I was like, how am I supposed to take this?
She thinks you're thin, athletic, and fit?
I sent her a mail back asking if I had a Dawson Leary forehead. She never replied.
