Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok Jars and Nutty - you got me there. Lemme restate...

HA! There's an American actor in the cast! Which means I should totally go over there and audition for something.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm a geek girl too but I still have problems with girls who don't get it. I've also caught myself referring to myself as a "fanboy" so maybe I'm a bad example.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

There's "girls" as in "not male physiologically" and there's "girls" as in "don't get boy stuff." They are not necessarily the same.

I've known many (straight, even) boys who are "girls".

And, to be fair, many girls (straight, even) who are "boys" by which I mean "don't get girl stuff".

At that moment Aimee and Jen were Definition Two "girls".

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I go over to his place and he excitedly shows me the Star Trek movie trailer, where it's just guys building the Enterprise. Welding, sparks flying and stuff...neat.

And I turn to him and say "Are they building that thing on a planet?"

Waitaminute - isn't the Enterprise planet-side at the beginning of 4 - where are the "nuclear wessels"?

Nope. Kirk blew up the Enterprises in 3, and they flew a Klingon Bird of Prey...a much smaller ship, capable of atmospheric re-entry and landing in a gravity well...back to 1980s Earth.

The nuclear wessel was, of course, the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise. Which is not a spaceship.

Yeah, you like that one? That was close.

Hey. New board.

Just so the Star Trek geeks know, Patrick Stewart's "Macbeth" is transferring from the theater at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (where it has been completely sold out) to Broadway for a limited run. So if you're coming to / in New York and you want to see Captain Picard play a Stalinesque monarch, this is your chance.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Well isn't it pretty much canon that Kirk and Spock DIDN'T meet at starfleet academy, or on their first missions? Spock was with Pike first time out. Can't remember if Kirk had a command yet or was still in academy.

So - I'm thinking this is going to make the Sarah Connor Chronicles continuity issues look like a minor retcon by comparison. Hey - it's JJ - what do you expect?
