Oh the Best Buy guy didn't like the Star Trek movie because of the way it was rebooted. It wasn't the same! He wanted it to be exactly the same as the series, or possibly the books, but just with different actors. But playing them exactly as they were played in TOS and the movies.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
We saw trailers for Now You See It, Man of Steel, World War Z, and something else.
We got all those for F&F6. I really want Now You See Me to be awesome, but I have a feeling it's not as cool as the trailer. I hope I'm wrong, though, because it looks really cool.

According to Will's son Now You See Me has to be cool because Morgan Freeman is in it.

Make him sit through Dreamcatcher and see if he still holds to that maxim.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw "Stories We Tell" the Sarah Polley documentary. Very well and thoughtfully done. I was enthralled the whole time.

I don't know if he's seen that. He might like it, who knows. He's 18.
So after thinking more about Star Trek. I think my expectations were too high. I think if the same basic premise was shown in a non Star Trek format (but with the same actors) I would have enjoyed it more. And lens flare showed up once. Instead I was expecting...I wanted to have the same feeling as when I saw The Avengers. and then Iron Man 3.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oo, I want to see that.

That just makes me worry that John Heard has big medical bills or a gambling problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Interesting--I think the HBO special on Fast 6 gives away too many of the stunts (and enough for you to predict plot points), but it has increased my appreciation of the movie--all the cars flying through the air were cars flying through the air. The actors did more driving than I'd thought, and Gisele says she did all her stunts.
And it made me reconsider Gina Carano's big fight, and...it was the best one in the movie. There are some really good ones, but hers was the best. I'd really like it if Joss were watching, and the Black Widow's physicality was more like ANY of the women in this movie. How wack is that?
I might end up buying 5 and 6, now that I think about it.
And as I was typing that, a promo for TDKR came on, and apparently my feels are still installed, Batwise.
