River ,'War Stories'
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.
Doesn't Kirk famously solve a problem at Starfleet Academy by doing the "slice the Gordian knot" solution?
Well, he out-and-out cheated because he was too stubborn to lose.
But original flavor Trek definitely has as many instances of cool as Star Wars.
Space hippies!
HP bulletin - Aims alert:
Daniel Radcliffe's Broadway Run of Equus struggling to sell (italics mine).
Also, ABC Family is going to run a "first look" at HP+theHBP during their HP weekend December 5-7th.
And they're scouting locations for Deathly Hallows already.

My bedroom for making the Potter-Sprog for the epilogue would do nicely.
Kirk is cool. Star Trek is not. The whole thing -- not a character or a scene. I wish I could think of another word that encapsulates what I mean.
Naked emotion may be a desirable human quality (or not), but it's the opposite of cool's reserve.
Actually, maybe that does get at a part of it. Because Star Trek is not reserved: it is explictly preachy. Of the movies, I always thought the 4th was the most true to the spirit of the show because, my god, it's about saving the whales.

Earnest?
I'm thinking about having a movie marathon this weekend at the bargain theater. They've currently got Burn After Reading, The Dark Knight, and Wall-E playing there, and I've not seen any of them (this year's been pretty lean on the movie-going front). If I time it well, I can go see all three on Friday (for only $6 total), and follow it with dinner at the Indian restaurant next door.
Earnest?
...Goes to Outer Space!
That sounds like an awesome day, Kathy.
Kathy, I'm not sure what others would say, but I think you should watch TDK last.
When I saw that movie the first time, I don't think I could have watched another movie right after.
