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.

Love him, loved Sisko, loved how different he was from the Captains that had preceded him.
So while grumpy black Klingon might seem cliche to you, at least it's different from street punk/pimp/dealer/gangsta.
Erm, it's not just to me, it's in the genre. The Next Gen Klingons were primarily black, as were the Jem'Hadar and the Jaffa were above average played by black actors.
New topic: Hey Somervillains! Kickass Cupcakes is doing a co-promotion with the film Kick-Ass (ha!). The kid who plays Hit Girl will be at the Davis Square store this Thursday from 6-8pm.

I read an interview of her - she seems quite intelligent.
She was funny and adorable at WonderCon. And she was a better panelist than Aaron Johnson, the star of the movie. Who knocked up his 43-year-old director.
He seems like he's a great actor, though, given how completely different he is in person compared to the clips I've seen of the movie. Also, apparently he auditioned with his American accent, and when he dropped back to his natural British accent to answer a question about where he was from, the director was like, "Holy crap, that's the best fake British accent I've ever heard!"

Despite being engaged to an older woman and an expectant father, you mean?
Clay Davis, Klingon, made me snort, Hec.
Despite being engaged to an older woman and an expectant father, you mean?
I actually meant despite being a terrible mumbly panelist.
At least he's 19, so it's not as if he's going to be dropped off at school by his girlfriend along with their kid.
I don't really mind the race-blind casting among the Asgardians since they're gods and all, rather than historical Vikings. I mean, some of their enemies are 20-foot tall blue people, where do you look for race-appropriate casting for that?
Pandora?
Navi?
