Saw Star Trek at the dollar movie. Very pretty, very silly in places, and the main saving grace was Leonard Nimoy. I love watching that man playing the older Spock, all wise and "I'm over 150 years old, I can be visibly amused and delighted if I want to be."

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.

Oh, definitely. No matter my problems with the plot and Kirk's characterization, seeing Leonard Nimoy as Spock again was well worth the price of admission.

His delight at seeing Scotty was wonderful, and it was all in the eyes and that very faint smile. "I have been and always will be your friend" made me misty-eyed, as did the "Space, the final frontier" at the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm worried that the theme song might be the worst thing about Quantum of Solace, and worried that it's not.

Wait, this bit has half-naked men.
And now there's a giant eyeball.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought it was a half decent essay. Not a patch on Casino Royale, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was ok with QoS. I can put up with a lot for Daniel Craig.

Because books.
I fell asleep during QoS. It was really disappointing to me given how much I loved Casino Royale.
