I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vaguely spoilerish article: Writer Reveals Trek Details

Mostly just about the importance that certain character(s) will play....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I saw a picture of Zachery Quinto in his Spock makeup. He looked disturbingly like a young Steve Martin with pointy ears and bad hair.

Now I'm picturing Spock with an arrow through his head.

And bunny ears. And nose glasses.

"Although it is not logical for it to do so, I discovered my cat was embezzling from me."

"Fassssssssssssscinating, Captain!"

Now I'm picturing Spock and Bones doing a "two wild and crazy guys" routine.

Always Anti-fascist!

Poor foxes. They have to leave the planet to get birth control devices.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dark Knight leaked trailer--really crappy pirate quality. Officially it's supposed to be out next weekend.

It's out.

I'm not crazy about Heath Ledger sounding like he's channelling Nicholson, but for the most part? The trailer makes me very very very happy.

And how funny is it that Nestor Carbonell is playing the Mayor? (Or, really, is playing any role in a Batman movie?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've heard that Heath is mostly the anti-Nicholson. Maybe further footage will play that out.

Yeah, I'm trying to not make a snap judgment based on a 2-minute clip, but still, the comparison is inevitable, and Ledger's just got that *thing* in his voice in this clip.
