Star Trek XI

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

And yes, Leisher, this is the movie to play hooky to see.


You have never said anything more true than that statement.

Saw it today and all I can say is wow.

More later when I really have time to go into it, but this is an easy 9 out of 10.

No kidding. Caught a matinee today, and even after this second viewing I could have turned around and paid to see it again.

Nimoy was on Fringe a week ago or so. Think they're tryng to get him on as many shows as they can before he roaches out.

Shatner and Khan are possibilities in the next movie.

Y'all know my opinion.

I hope we don't see Shatner, it wouldn't be right with the new direction things are going.

But Khan would be cool. It'd be semi-young Khan, of course (TV show era Khan as opposed to movie era Khan), so ... how about Antonio Banderas?

Wouldn't you rather see Khan played by someone that can act?

I keep thinking about bigger names who could pull off a young Khan and I keep thinking Daniel Craig would be an interesting choice. He's got the build, intensity, and acting chops, but can he be as charismatic as Ricardo?

Eh, it'll probably be a no name or someone nobody sees coming like the guy who plays Sawyer on Lost.

It isn't saying much, but he was the best one in the movie "Evita."

I don't hate the man, but I think he's an inconsistent actor. He's been good in some things, but terrible in others. Plus, I don't know if it's his choice or his directors', but he usually comes off as really over the top.

They might give Gerard Butler a shot at it, if they try.

I don't think Banderas is any great actor or anything, but you can't tell me that Montleban was not "over the top" as Khan (while also being very good, admittedly). :p At least he would be better than Cheech Marin.

Saw it again today. Still love it.

It takes great skill to be over-the-top & still have people call you a legit bad-ass.

It's becoming annoying, since 300 was released, how screaming has become a good way to show perseverance. I've seen at least 2 more trailers since then of the leader (or whoever) doing his best Leonidas "Tonight we dine in hell!" impersonations.
