Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Always late to the party, H and I finally saw ST:ID yesterday. Consensus: It was purdy. Shit blowed up. Bobblehead blond Barbie was a jarring insert and the 10-second undies flash had a ridonkulous amount of buildup for minimal payoff. And why don't women crew rate sleeves and pants?

Also, even though I knew the line was in there somewhere, when Kirk told Chekov to "put on a red shirt," I gasped audibly, "Nooooo!" There was a general snicker through the audience.

So yeah, it was pretty, and stuff blowed up.

Just out of curiosity, what's everyone's read on WTF is going on with James Franco here?: [link]

Franco's all put out that everyone's panties are in a knot over Cavill's hotness and is trying to make it all about him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My main question is why is a newspaper basically just reprinting James Franco's blog.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But everyone's panties are all in knot about someone's hotness at any given time. And, honestly, I haven't heard as much about Cavill as other guys playing superheroes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah. Maybe there's extra sting to Cavill's success because Franco had super hero movie ambitions himself that have been tanked with the Spider-Man reboot, but Robert Downey Jr. gets more attention for his forays in the field and he has indie darling cred that's more like what Franco's trying to build to boot. It really reads as being written entirely in Bitter Ex-speak to me. I half expected him to finish the blog entry by quoting Adele lyrics.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

C) Cavill had a one night stand with him and discarded him like used kleenex and Franco hasn't gotten over it.

I really want it to be this.

Because books.

I'm ashamed to say I would read the fic about it.

To be fair, if I'd hit THAT nine years ago I might have had difficulty letting go, too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I must admit, Cavill didn't do anything for me until I saw him in the Paul Bunyon version in MoS. I think I growled at the screen.

Because books.

Oh, I wanted him as Charles Brandon, for sure. He was awesome in that, and BEAUTIFUL.
