so this flowchart of what to watch on Netflix is just stupid, yes?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I enjoyed Star Trek into Darkness, but I was curiously unengaged at times because while there is a decent Kirk-centric story and Benedict Cumberbatch was born to play a villain, the movie essentially moves from cool set piece to cool set piece, with the occasional nod to the original series. Luckily, these cool set pieces are pretty exciting and things blow up a lot. It's a solid sci-fi action flick, but it's no Iron Man 3.
The movie feels kind of hollow in the end, but it's a good time.

I...am going to see STID Saturday afternoon with DH and friends. I plan on having a couple of drinks beforehand and watching Evil!Cheekboneslock and Eyebrows and spaceplosions. And Irate!KarkUrban. And Pegglicious. All else is superfluous.
And I am not ashamed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I enjoyed STID, and disagree with Jessica's DH in almost every respect, but I also was curiously disengaged at several points in the movie. Mainly the points where the "Will Kirk DIE FOR REAL? Will the Enterprise BLOW UP?" tension went on too long, because obviously the answer is NO. Anyone who didn't know how they were gonna bring Kirk back wasn't paying attention to McCoy's dead tribble. Also, and this may be only me, but I found that I can only believe the deep friendship between Kirk and Spock because I ALREADY believe it going in -- there's not much in these two movies that would make me feel that was true.

Also, the fact that they have already discovered tribbles means in this new universe, Kirk will never open a hatch and be buried in a fluffy hill of trilling tribbles, and that makes me sad.

Squeak! As it bounces off his head. "Will someone please close that hatch?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm assuming that's not a spoiler? Somehow?

It's a 40-year-old spoiler, if anything. Maybe 45.

I guess I should whitefont it; it's a minor spoiler.
