Okay, old news but...I've been (obsessively) re-watching
Star Trek (2009)
lately and a few things have popped into my head.
1) STILL FUN!
2) Okay, I'm a dolt. It has taken me nearly a year to figure out that Bones is Eomer. He does such a good job!
3) (related to 2)) Bones and Scotty? My favorite characters.
4) Tight movie! They, for the most part, obeyed my one rule of possible plot holes: Ask the question. Give me a line of dialogue. Acknowledge you thought of it, even if your answer is "I dunno."
5) Zachary Quinto is a good Spock. There are some shots where he is Brandon-Routh-as-Clark-Kent eerie.
6) I still maitain that it took serious balls to alter the timeline while acknowledging canon. Destroying Vulcan? DAMN!
7) Nimoy can make me weepy.
8) Can't wait for the next one.
I will see the Percy Jackson movie, ita. Probably next weekend. I really liked the books, and the movie looks fun.

That is an utterly splendid rule.

The casting for Bones and Scotty were the reason I was so excited to see this film in the first place. I'm such a Karl Urban fangirl that I was all over the idea of him playing McCoy, and Pegg is such an SF fanboy that him playing Scotty was a perfect choice.

One of my favorite examples of this was back on classic Dr. Who, during a Pertwee ep, when someone asked the Doctor about some time-travel conundrum issue. He is just about to answer when he's interrupted by the monster of the week. At least they got the question out there, even though the answer was never given.
Isn't that call "hanging a lantern on it"?
Pointing out a plot incongruity within the plot?
Not a lantern--a lampshade.
quick poll: what's the scariest ghost movie you ever saw?
The Frighteners!
I kid, although...
The Others, maybe? I'm ruling out anything that was gory and gross and disturbing.
yeah The Others definitely wigged me out. I can't decide if it was scarier than The 6th Sense because I never saw the latter on the big screen.
I always liked Lady in White. It wasn't overly scary, but Lukas Haas did a good job portraying terror, and the scene with the little girl ghost reliving her assault and death was horrific in its own way.
