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.
::gives Paul Greengrass the stinkeye for general steadicam ruination::
If the camera is shaky it is by definition NOT steadicam. Sam Raimi perfected shaky cam in the Evil Dead movies, but NEITHER is what you're thinking of. Your talking about hand-held. BIG DIFFERENCE!
Examples of steadicam (or a similar equivalent) action sequences? See Children of Men.

I am corrected. Actually my favorite steadicam action sequence is in Raising Arizona.
as well ditching as Number One as Pike's first officer, which is pretty lame, IMO.
Well, they've already fucked with canon by making Kirk and Spock the same age, haven't they? Or having them at the Academy at the same time.
The description from Jessica's DH has Spock serving on the Enterprise while Kirk is still a cadet.
Oh, so you mean it would help if I'd actually read the article in question, rather than just blabbing away?

Good one! t /obligatory response to any Raising Arizona reference as I fucking love that film

Which resutled in the mind-boggling homage - the foot chase scene in Point Break.
DH's write-up of the Star Trek preview clips

KHAAAAAAN!

Better now.
Actually, I'm quite looking forward to the flick, despite the writhing of my inner purist.
I think my inner Trekkie is dead, because I don't care.
When reruns of anything but TOS come on, I'm very much "meh," and will only watch if nothing else is on. On the rare occasions I catch original series reruns, I care more, but it's with the fondness for a childhood toy. The fervent attachment is gone.
I'm looking forward to the movie, but the canon violations are sort of "whatever" to me.
As long as the movie doesn't suck.

And to play "How fast can I identify this episode?" Bonus points if you can id it just from the picture of the planet they're orbitting.
